If you are serious about the question of nominating someone to 
represent three billions of people make a monthly rotational 
chairmanship attributed by drawing lots. This way he will not 
represent the people themselves (how do you want to do that?), but 
the position will structurally exemplify their diversity and the 
individual autonomy of the constituant.

Democracy is over. We are now entered in Polycracy where 
representation is not by selection or election (vote of one 
priviligied person, or by every person), but exemplification. The 
less previsible one for the less previsible time is the best way to 
be sure that no personal agenda will be supported, and that the 
consensuses being reached by this Chairmanship will be external as 
well as internal, i.e. stronger and better. Also, you cannot bribe the dices.
