As I see it, Mozilla is in strong need of disengaging itself from an unqualified
attachment to _absolute_ "meritocracy", and include more components of real
democracy (note, I am not suggesting to replace meritocracy).
Why? What problems/questions are you trying to address with that? You
should always start with that when trying to propose a solution.
1. Regularly scheduled town hall meetings (keeping world time zones in mind)
for high level news, feedback, and idea-sharing; maybe on an annual or
bi-annual basis, including recommendations that may be offered by the
convocation as a whole, with a majority vote of those present (including those
attending online), hopefully prompting Mozilla to take a very serious look at
these recommendations.
That can be done with our current system as well and has no dependency
on "democratic elements" as you call them.
2. Regularly scheduled community election of delegates who could make recommendations at annual meetings or such to the same
effect as number #1.
What would those do? If we do #1 regardless, I guess they'd have no
"job" at all and would be just a pretense on having something
"democratic" but without actual use?
Ideally, in my view, delegates would be elected not based on the theater of
self-promotion, campaigning, or even nominations (and their tendency to elect
vocal but not necessarily competent or genuinely humble collaborators)
But that's what actual democracy is all about! :p
