There is no need for representative democracy on the Internet, arranging
local poll in each community and then a global one where the community
reps vote takes more time and effort than a single global poll.
All that's needed is direct links to the global poll from the local
community web sites so everyone can partecipate.

Completely disagree. And what about those Mageia users that don't have a
local community or that prefer spending their time on the global forum
rather than in local forums?
Again there is zero need for a representative democracy on the Internet.
It only distorts the true wishes of the users and potentially creates
local ego-power-positions that only cause controversy and in-fights.
