    ==Campaign Management==
    Basically there are two models to Campaign Mangement:
    ===Central management===
    *The managing entity makes all decisions regarding the campaign and the subscribers get notified of changes and have a possibility to withdraw their vote if the deem the change unacceptable
    *Quick response times
    ===Democratic management===
    *When someone wants to change something they have to submit the proposed change, which then gets voted upon either untill a certain percentage of subscribers have voted or for a certain period of time.
    *Propably sluggish response times and low voting participation
