It is often required to solicit feedback before a rule change. Those in charge of the rule change are not generally required to follow the feedback.
The direct feedback mechanism is voting for those who determine the composition of the rule-making bodies.
- Retric 9y agoOne more step. The direct feedback mechanism is voting, for people who draw maps that determine who get's elected to have the power to determine the composition of the rule-making bodies. You could even argue it's how people spend their money that determines who has money to chose who get's to draw the maps etc.
- ISL 9y agoAgreed, especially upon the final point. I try to engage in commerce with entities that do/make good things.
- CobrastanJorji 9y agoI'm not sure I'd use the term "direct feedback mechanism" to describe voting for an elector who votes on a President who appoints a commissioner to a five person committee for five year terms.
- zpallin 9y agoIt's required because it's supposed to help inform the FCC of pending legal challenges. FCC and other government agencies are supposed to take those comments seriously to avoid implementing bad rules and attracting expensive lawsuits in order to save the government (and ultimately the peoples') money.
- sliverstorm 9y agoThey are not legally beholden to follow the feedback, but if the FCC is supposed to be an unelected dictatorship, why even require feedback?
