Well, given that anyone can participate in the policy process (including vi=
a
remote participation and still be counted), and policies are generally supp=
orted=20
by an average of about 50 participants, it's actually in the hands of nearl=

group of folks that gets organized towards an outcome and wants to particip=

pating,
but frankly as long as that opportunity is readily available, then self-gov=

is occurring.
