  • Irrevocable Proxy and Voting Control of Small Business Corporations

    Irrevocable Proxy and Voting Control of Small Business Corporations

    1950] NOTES The Irrevocable Proxy and Voting Control of Small Business Corporations Voting control of business corporations is prized because, through selection of a majority of directors, it is the power to determine the use of group assets. Since directors are chosen by vote at annual shareholder meetings, those who have the legal right to vote a majority of enfranchised shares retain the potential power of control. In the case of large cor- porations with widely scattered ownership, factual control, by the avail- ability of the proxy machinery, may reside in a group owning only a small percentage of outstanding voting shares. In more closely held cor- porations, attempts are made to achieve the same result by divorcing the legal right to vote a majority of shares from ownership through the use of legal devices such as non-voting shares, voting trusts, voting and pool- ing contracts, and irrevocable proxies. This Note is concerned with the problem of voting control of the closely held, usually small, corporation. Since voting trusts, whereby owners transfer rights to trustees, are now largely legislative creatures, the discussion will be confined to an exami- nation of the irrevocable proxy, and the voting or pooling contract, two relationships whose judicial enforceability is still subject to doubt. Ju- dicial confusion over the validity of these voting agreements is more readily understood in the light of the general theory of the business corpora- tion evolving in a democratic society, and against the background of traditional agency doctrine. THE STRUCTURE OF CORPORATE DEMOCRACY In the early law of business corporations, each shareholder was ac- corded the same number of votes, regardless of his proportionate share ownership.
  • Governance in Decentralized Networks

    Governance in Decentralized Networks

    Governance in decentralized networks Risto Karjalainen* May 21, 2020 Abstract. Effective, legitimate and transparent governance is paramount for the long-term viability of decentralized networks. If the aim is to design such a governance model, it is useful to be aware of the history of decision making paradigms and the relevant previous research. Towards such ends, this paper is a survey of different governance models, the thinking behind such models, and new tools and structures which are made possible by decentralized blockchain technology. Governance mechanisms in the wider civil society are reviewed, including structures and processes in private and non-profit governance, open-source development, and self-managed organisations. The alternative ways to aggregate preferences, resolve conflicts, and manage resources in the decentralized space are explored, including the possibility of encoding governance rules as automatically executed computer programs where humans or other entities interact via a protocol. Keywords: Blockchain technology, decentralization, decentralized autonomous organizations, distributed ledger technology, governance, peer-to-peer networks, smart contracts. 1. Introduction This paper is a survey of governance models in decentralized networks, and specifically in networks which make use of blockchain technology. There are good reasons why governance in decentralized networks is a topic of considerable interest at present. Some of these reasons are ideological. We live in an era where detailed information about private individuals is being collected and traded, in many cases without the knowledge or consent of the individuals involved. Decentralized technology is seen as a tool which can help protect people against invasions of privacy. Decentralization can also be viewed as a reaction against the overreach by state and industry.

But changes in the “exercise of power” have not kept up with changes in the “access to power.” In many communities, township authorities, Party branches, and social forces (such as clans, religious groups, and underworld elements) continue to impede democratic rule. This suggests that a purely procedural definition of democracy is problematic and that democratization depends on the power configuration in which elected bodies are embedded. Putting grassroots democracy into place goes well beyond getting the procedures right, and “high quality” democracy rests on much more than convening good village elections every three years. 2 Path to Democracy? Assessing Village Elections in China The launch of village elections in China has passed its twentieth anniversary.

  • Liquid Democracy: an Algorithmic Perspective

    Liquid Democracy: an Algorithmic Perspective

    Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research 70 (2021) 1223-1252 Submitted 11/2020; published 03/2021 Liquid Democracy: An Algorithmic Perspective Anson Kahng [email protected] Computer Science Department Carnegie Mellon University Simon Mackenzie [email protected] University of New South Wales Ariel D. Procaccia [email protected] School of Engineering and Applied Sciences Harvard University Abstract We study liquid democracy, a collective decision making paradigm that allows voters to transitively delegate their votes, through an algorithmic lens. In our model, there are two alternatives, one correct and one incorrect, and we are interested in the probability that the majority opinion is correct. Our main question is whether there exist delegation mechanisms that are guaranteed to outperform direct voting, in the sense of being always at least as likely, and sometimes more likely, to make a correct decision. Even though we assume that voters can only delegate their votes to better-informed voters, we show that local delegation mechanisms, which only take the local neighborhood of each voter as input (and, arguably, capture the spirit of liquid democracy), cannot provide the foregoing guarantee. By contrast, we design a non-local delegation mechanism that does provably outperform direct voting under mild assumptions about voters. 1. Introduction Liquid democracy is a modern approach to voting in which voters can either vote directly or delegate their vote to other voters. In contrast to the classic proxy voting paradigm (Miller, 1969), the key innovation underlying liquid democracy is that proxies | who were selected by voters to vote on their behalf | may delegate their own vote to a proxy, and, in doing so, further delegate all the votes entrusted to them.
