Green cap Red cap booth level meetings --- Green cap means speaker can speak , red cap means speaker should stop speaking . IMO, activists should work to hold green cap red cap meetings at their booth level. The caps dont have any affiliation with party etc. They are just like traffic lights. . 1. say meeting of 1 , 2 or 3 (not more) booths are called . Booth is list of 500-800 voters in a voter list. . 2. The attendees will be divided into 4 separate groups. . (1a) male voters of those booths and spouses of female voters in those booths . (1b) female voters of those booths and spouses of male voters of those booths. . (1c) male attendee who are NOT voters in those booths nor spouses of any female voters in those booths. . (1d) female male attendee who are NOT voters in those booths nor spouses of any male voter in those booths. . 2. Each person will have to buy red cap and green cap or he may bring his own. . 3. The organizers will need voter list to ensure that everyone in group (1a) and (1b) are voters or spouses of voters. . 4. The organizer will use dices to select a random number between 1 and number of voters in that booth. And voter selected will give name of 1 speaker, Those who want that speaker to speak will immediately wear green cap and those who dont will wear red cap.Those who dont want to vote will wear no cap. . 5. Those who have worn green cap will move on right and stand in queue of 10. And those who have worn red will come on left and stand in queue of 10. And thus counting will become fast. . 6. Like that 5 voters will be chosen at random and each will suggest one speaker. Ad the speaker who gets highest greens will speak . 7. Those who want speaker to end will wear red cap and those who wish that he should continue will wear green cap. And when red outnumber green, the speaker will have to end the speech. The speaker can suggest a name when he ends his speech. . 8. So there are 4 speakers on whom red-green count is known. And one more was suggested by speaker. red-green count will be taken on him, , 9. The one with green count will speak. . There are several variations. But what it means is that speaker will have to end when audience wants to hear someone else. How to select that "someone" else? Again, red-green count can be used. . The count of ONLY voters in the booths will be counted and NOT others who are attending (WHY?). The others who are attending may wear red-green cap. But they will NOT be counted in deciding if speaker should speak or end. . So control remains with audience on whom audience wants to speak and whom audience wants to shut up. . If control remains with audience, then speakers will restrain himself from wasting audience's time. . ========================= . Splitting of sabha . If certain voters think that other voters are ganging up or acting unfairly, then they can always call a meeting amongst themselves at later time and date. . ====================== . Later , a few variations can be made to decide "who should speak" via audience. . I will soon start such red-green-cap meetings in ahmedabad. lets see how it goes.
