Questions asked from a desire to better understand, not undermine (there may be an article covering this I can be directed to):
How will the People Assembly be recruited? Democratically? How many people will sit on it & represent the rest of us? How will regions be represented, will it relate to area or population density? Who will chair the assembly? Who will ensure those within aren't acting in other interests? Who will protect those in the assembly from media witchhunts, or worse, physical attacks from those in disagreement with their ideas? How will agreement be determined - e.g. could 52/48 scenarios further divide the country? What are the propsed timescales for moving research into action (we've already got <6yrs reducing daily, remember)?
There are many, many changes that can be made in almost every business sector that could be made relatively easily and quickly with only minor costs.
Why the reluctance by xr to highlight/propose these solutions now if affecting business not household? Fear of solutioneering?
I want this to work, the detail is key to this though despite the exciting "headlines".

There are many, many changes that can be made in almost every business sector that could be made relatively easily and quickly with only minor costs. No businesses (except those marketed as ‘green’) will adopt these widely if it puts them at a competitive disadvantage. Change has to come from above.
A people’s assembly would research and detail changes and put them forward for government. Once a government is broadly committed to a people’s assembly the political cost (to the gov) of implementing change is reduced because responsibility lies largely with the assembly.
