ABSTRACT
When Thriving Democracies are implemented, existing public agencies and legal frameworks will most likely not suffice. This chapter suggests several novel public agencies and discusses novel legal frameworks, which might be useful to run Thriving Democracies effectively. For example, an agency might be required to organize participatory practices; and novel rules might regulate the leave of absence for participants in mini-publics. This chapter elaborates, what these agencies and legal frameworks might look like, and discusses options. Finally, it considers the challenge of a ‘legal rag rug’, which might occur when communities decide about their own setup, including the questions of decentralization and subsidiarity. Due to the visionary approach, many questions remain open and will require some trial-and-error testing.
