Joop,
   
  Quite a lofty goal at that. Something tells me I re/wrote that. 
  How about attempt to ascertain. Even attempting around here is difficult, and clearly not everything is votable. (I think Jonothon Nevett is about to find that out in the whois)
   
  Your comment vis a vie the IDN is a good wake up call. Remember this is not in the "thou shall" section. Also if we are to attempt to represent or promote something we should try to figure out what it is.
   
  My hope, someday, would be to put in a voting mechanism readily available on the list.
   
  Best of days to you.

Good thing that this Korean issue comes up now to throw the proposed new 
mission statement of the GA in the spotlight.
Frankly, I'm a bit worried about any mechanism that purports "to ascertain 
and represent the consensual views of the ordinary citizen as
a collective" if it isn't based on voting and counting.

Or was that what you meant, Debbie?
