### Overview of Hitchhiker's Project The Hitchhiker's Project aims to create a global membership organization focused on providing digital infrastructure guides for the planet. The organization will establish a publicly owned social media platform and governance structures, acting similarly to the United Nations with complex legal structures akin to a constitutional framework. ### Constitutional Writing Strategy The project involves drafting a constitution to establish legal agreements for the organization. The initial drafting will involve an elite group of participants such as artists, lawyers, and programmers. Over time, broader public participation will be encouraged through mechanisms like citizen assemblies and collaborative sci-fi engagements. ### Timeline and Key Events - July 4, 2026: Launch of the constitutional drafting process during the global AGM event, aligning with the 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. - Post-July to February 2, 2027: Gather and digest input from the global event while continuing to engage participants for drafting. - February 2, 2027 (Groundhog Day): Target date for the formal adoption of the constitution. ### Actionable Tasks 1. Preparations in December and January: Leading up to the constitutional drafting process, organize an event at Newspeak House, possibly in collaboration with the RSA or other venues. 2. Event Scheduling: Plan to book a night (likely a Monday) at Newspeak House for the proposed event to engage individuals interested in constitutional drafting. 3. Continuous Engagement: Maintain momentum through workshops and public announcements of the initial draft over the summer. The transcript outlines the strategic framework and detailed timeline for engaging various stakeholders in the creation and adoption of the constitution for the Hitchhiker's Project.
### Event Planning and Objectives An event is scheduled for February 2, 2026, focused on the legal and technical aspects of constitutional writing. The event aims to gather a small, motivated group of individuals to explore various aspects of the legal process, including the game-like elements and technologies involved. The goal is to prepare presentations and a legal constitutional site, inviting experts in constitutional law and legal technology to participate. ### Key Participants and Presentations The organizer plans to involve experts by reaching out to personal contacts, such as Henning, to contribute to the event. The format will include presentations, potentially modeled like a podcast and possibly culminating in a public event. In particular, Elliott is identified as a potential contributor who could provide critical feedback or suggestions for the constitutional writing process. ### Preparations and Invitations A text summarizing the Hitchhiker project’s constitutional drafting aspect is to be prepared and sent as an invitation to select individuals with expertise in legal tech, citizen assembly, and democratic processes. The aim is to ensure a targeted and successful event through distribution of this document. ### Future Activities and Timeline Post-event plans extend from February to July 4th, featuring events like Towel Day and Earth Day as pre-marketing strategies for a larger 42 assemblies constitutional day on Independence Day. The goal is to establish a group of advisors and visionaries who can contribute by writing and publishing work related to the project. The timeline includes a six-month preparation period to refine ideas and leverage unique technological approaches. ### Actionable Steps 1. Prepare and disseminate an invitation summary of the project. 2. Reach out to Elliott for participation and feedback, ideally within the next week. 3. Form an advisory group to support the project's vision through written and published materials. 4. Plan future marketing events leading up to the major July 4th assembly.
