We had Grand Assemblies in the past, the information should still be in the archive unless it got lost during that invisionfree crash we had a few years back. As far as I remember, we did it exactly like this: set a date in the near future, advertise that date on the forum and on the RMB (I don't think we ever did telegramming. Mind you, back then we had 7000 nations in the region rather than 2000). At the same time, build an Agenda. Then the GA was done in two stages, the first stage (1 week? 2 weeks?) was used to harvest ideas, the second stage was used for debate and voting. I think the ideas put forward in the harvesting stage were supposed to be written down in legal code already and not vague ideas, such as to be able to finish the thing within an overseeable time frame, and since there was plenty of time between announcement and start, everyone was able to formulate and discuss their ideas in advance.

EDIT 2: Hmm, I think I was wrong about that last bit I wrote.
EDIT 3: What worries me a bit is that I've heard lots of talk that we want to change something, but very little on <em class='bbc'>what</em> we want to change. Without concrete ideas the council will fail.

This is indeed a good idea. It should be fun to go over things, I believe!

The South Pacific announces the start of the Great Assembly. Laws will be changing, so make sure your voice is heard.
