Governance Model
The new global network and platform will offer a unique set of opportunities in a world where there are significant barriers to systemic change. The Rational Data model was designed to overcome barriers inherent in economies, political systems, and social and geographical factors.
Many far-reaching decisions are now made without knowledge, input, or consent from the stakeholders who are affected by such decisions. These include policies affecting practices such as the genetic manipulation of food to decisions contributing to pollution and global warming. Because we at Rational Data believe that people have a right to voice their opinions and beliefs about issues concerning all of humanity, we have created a framework for this to happen in a medium that is as ubiquitous and democratic as possible. The web based medium has the capability of transcending geopolitical boundaries as well as reaching approximately a quarter of the world’s population.
This new network presents a way to provide a new voting mechanism, action networks, and purpose-centered project networks. In its basic sense, it is a convergence of information technology, community action, and democracy all in one. In particular, the governance model aims to provide new channels for populations who may be disenfranchised, marginalized or otherwise excluded from decision-making.
Historically, geopolitical influence and economic power has been based on geography, property rights, and the access to property, energy and resources, in the context of some governing body. The governance model of the Rational Data network aims to bridge social, cultural, geographical and geopolitical barriers so that a coherent global voice might be heard. It is designed to provide a new forum of accountability, and to empower individuals to act both locally and globally through its project and action networks.
