This agreement would use technology to eliminate corruption, create governmental transparency, decentralization, accountability, and more. And no, we don't need government's permission to proceed.
1. Everyone taking responsibility for the system is a great idea, kinda like what the framers of the Constitution had in mind. But apathy, ignorance and greed get in the way.
2. The Agreement is a good idea, but way too complicated and wordy.
3. Money is energy; it cannot be separated from politics.
The only way this would work, even of everyone agrees to it, is if every vote is public. As long as people can say 1 thing publicly, then vote the same way they always have, nothing may change (if we get the same results, this would have to be why, but without accountability or making votes public, everyone can just lie).
The US Constitution is the platform that provided for a radically different and fundamentally free society. Our problem is not the lack of a new technology platform with the right algo's governing it. Our problem is that we have hundreds of millions of people who are too selfish, stupid, lazy, and/or disinterested to be citizens of a democratic republic not to mention most never understood their obligations and responsibilities in such a system in the first place. You're technology platform will never make up for the flawed/incompetent citizenry.
Less tech, more integrity. Paper ballots, manual counting.
Absolutely Great Work !!! Holding the reps accountable is (IMHO) the most difficult piece. Thanks for posting this and for the work you are doing.

The accountability here is really attractive. Limitations on power and influence. I love it. I'd live in that society happily.
