How would the sheer numbers of people be included especially in the lower circles?

A. The first thing, is for sociocracy to seep into cultures so that many people are familiar with and using it in one or more organizations. From living in cohousing my experience is that only one person in a household participates actively in community governance. And then most people only participate in the issues that concern them. Not everyone shows up for every discussion — or party! So if a circle meeting works with 20-40 people, the neighborhood division may be 200 people. Lots of circles in a city! Also local circles would only be dealing with local issues. The representatives to the town circle would be dealing with wider town issues. The Town reps would deal with State Level issues. Policy decisions move up and down the circles but “consent” applies to one’s domain and how the policies affect one’s domain. As a local rep to the town level, I would not have consent over who is selected president but would over who is selected mayor.
