[governance] Parminder's exchange with Bertrand

[Bertrand de La Chapelle]

Milton,

Do you actually mean a sort of "personal sovereignty" principle, that would
enable individuals to gather in numerous human groupings, including nations,
but also business and non-profit entities ? so that the unifying governance
unit becomes stakeholders of various sizes but with equal status instead of
three (or four) separate and siloed stakeholder groups ?
