I volunteered years ago. Wrote a technical proposal for achieving their mission goals. The only response or discussion was that they would get "the experts" in to solve these problems laters, instead we should only focus on promotion and advertizing. Considering I am an expert in the subject I wrote on, I found it very condescending and lost all interest (and indeed, belief) in the Venus Project (totally not just communist futurism). Also they make you sign an NDA. So you can't talk about the better world you're supposedly building.
