sortition: The Citizens Assemblies in British Columbia, Ontario and the Netherlands (where citizens assembly has the unfortunate translation, to English-speaking ears anyway, of \'burgerforum\') have given sortition a large push.
Mt proposal is based on that. Electing a president is an obvious function for a sortitive body. I\'m not quite so sure about using a citizens assembly as a permanent legislative body. It strikes me, incdentally, that a Citizens Assembly would be an excellent way to deal with the republican issue in Australia.
