Deliberate Democracy in Practice: Privacy, Coordination, and Collective Action

Panelists: Piergiorgio Catti De Gasperi, Kris Decoodt, Bastin Jafari, Koss
Moderator: Nikoline Arns


Curator: Other

Berlin-based software engineer with a background in philosophy. My work revolves around resonance and plurality, with the goal of dissolving the dichotomy between the universal and the particular—the individual and the collective. Drawing on Hartmut Rosa's resonance theory and concepts from the Plurality movement, I explore how technology can foster genuine connection rather than alienation.

I currently work as an IT manager at the MIND Foundation, where I help scale their processes in the field of psychedelic therapy, and serve as the Berlin Chapter Lead for the RadicalxChange Foundation, organizing deliberative democracy events and building Plural Events, a collaborative governance platform based on the plural management protocol.

Kris De Coodt is a communicator, connector, and coordinator with 20 years of experience across advertising, startups, and emerging technologies, including blockchain. His work centers on projects pursuing deep systemic change through decentralization, open collaboration, and community-driven innovation.

Currently, Kris serves as Logos Movement Coordinator at the Institute of Free Technology, where he helps scale the global Logos ecosystem through content strategy, community development, and organizational systems. He also co-founded Commons Hub Brussels, a community space dedicated to regenerative culture, governance experimentation, and commons-based collaboration.

Guided by values of ubuntu, integrity, vulnerability, antifragility, and “buidling,” Kris is motivated by bold visions, first-principles thinking, and bringing people together to turn ideas into action.

Gardening the soil of Invisible Garden and p2pmentor 🌿

Lifelong explorer of the convergence of web3, IoT, and digital biology, with a current focus on flow states, and with interspecies research on a second layer. Generally interested in tech geared at making governance weird again and guiding our evolution as a multi-planetary species from a regenerative perspective.

Former Gardener of Commons Stack's Trusted Seed (https://trustedseed.org/) and Community Architect at IoTeX. Co-Summoner of Ethereum, Singularity University, and the B Corps movement in Venezuela.

Mixed background starting in theater and media studies, moving on to grassroots activism and government relations, and finding kinship among social impact-enabling (technical) circles. I've co-initiated both tech startups and civic innovation spaces.

Nikoline Arns is a governance designer, civic-tech entrepreneur, and community organizer building bridges between Web3, privacy culture, and real-world social infrastructure. Her current focus is HUBS Network, a decentralized network of physical hubs, hacker spaces, cultural centers, and regenerative communities experimenting with open governance, self-sovereignty, and collaborative coordination. Through HUBS, she works on connecting online decentralized movements with IRL communities that share values around privacy, decentralization, and commons-based systems.

Before Hubs Network, Nikoline co-founded projects such as pact.social, citizen.chat and DoinGud, where she explored decentralized governance, social impact coordination, NFTs, and privacy-preserving civic participation tools. Her background spans design, cooperative organizing, DAO ecosystems, and sociocratic governance, with a long-standing focus on connecting communities that “share the same values but not the same language” — from Ethereum builders to local cooperatives and civic initiatives.

Deeply influenced by cypherpunk culture, RadicalxChange, and regenerative coordination movements, Nikoline advocates for human-centered digital systems that strengthen autonomy, trust, and democratic participation both online and offline. Her work sits at the intersection of privacy, decentralized social infrastructure, and imagination-driven institution building.

I WORK at the intersection of technology and philosophy, bridging theory and practice to promote thoughtful innovation.

I CARE about the social and political impact of cryptography, peer-to-peer networks, and distributed systems in empowering individual autonomy, protecting freedoms, and creating systems that resist censorship.

I OFFER my expertise and facilitate collaboration for groups that uphold these principles, with a commitment to promoting shared prosperity and upholding human rights in the digital space.
