So, it seems as though there are some errors in the article, but it seems the most interesting piece is roughly true.
To write the new constitution, the people of Iceland elected twenty-five citizens from among 522 adults not belonging to any political party but recommended by at least thirty citizens. This document was not the work of a handful of politicians, but was written on the internet.
I'd love to see more about this process. I'd worry that there would be too much time and text spent on specifics rather than general ideas, writing a constitution isn't easy, IMO.

Also, it isn't a clean-room effort, so you just need trustworthy people who have been vouched for.
