Crowdsourcing a Constitution?

Will they listen? (Reuters/Henry Romero)

"The crowdsourcing exercise is unprecedented in Mexico—and pretty much everywhere else. Chilangos, as locals are known, can petition for issues to be included in the constitution through Change.org (link in Spanish), and make their case in person if they gather more than 10,000 signatures. They can also annotate proposals by the constitution’s drafters via PubPub, an editing platform (Spanish) similar to Google Docs.

[...] There’s a big catch, however. The constitutional assembly—the body that has the final word on the new city’s basic law—is under no obligation to consider any of the citizen input. And then there are the practical difficulties of collecting and summarizing the myriad of views dispersed throughout one of the world’s largest cities." [source: Quartz]

I'm rolling my eyes. This is a "progressive" and "inclusive" initiative launched by Mexico's City major, Mr. Mancera according to the site mentioned above. I'm so beyond cynicism on whatever shape or form, the government wishes to be perceived. Specially from a man whose initial proposal to fight women's rape and harassment is by handing out a blowing whistle?

Is Mr. Mancera, making an invitation to an event and probably leaving us out? I pretty much have that feeling that they want us to go, stay, write it up, nay.
