 +### [Q]  What is this Do-ocracy thing?
 +**[A]**  If you see something that needs doing, why aren’t you doing it?
 +
 +A do-ocracy [as described by CommunityWiki](http://www.communitywiki.org/DoOcracy) is an organizational structure in which individuals choose roles and tasks for themselves and execute them. Responsibilities attach to people who do the work, rather than elected or selected officials.
 +
 +The [Noisebridge wiki describes it](https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Do-ocracy) as: “Do-ocracy: If you want something done, do it, but remember to be excellent to each other when doing so.”
 +
 +Also sometimes called do-opoly, a pun on “duopoly”.
