Good point but remember we elect people who then represent us (in theory at least because I don't know who our current fellow at the top really represents) and vote on particular issues/bills.
In no way do we vote on each bill. And no one is suggesting that we would be a better democracy if each and every bill went before the people. We can and some us do get involved at varying levels.

I find that a very hard thing to stomach and believe that a few would simply say that a vote would be a long drawn out exhausting process. To me if we can elect people within our society (in some countries) to run an entire country based on information we are given? Surely its not that much of a stretch in imagination to ask that we the ACTUAL development community have a say in the way standards are put forward to the world to follow? Its not a very large request? ***************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help *****************************************************
