Comment by Rich Wilson
CEO of Iswe Foundation; co-founder of the Global Citizens' Assembly; founder of Involve
A citizens' assembly brings together a group of everyday people, selected by lottery, to reflect the wider population, to learn, deliberate and make recommendations on major public issues. [...] Later this year, discussions on Artificial Intelligence (AI) will follow.

Verified via web search. The quote attributed to Rich Wilson (CEO of Iswe Foundation, co-founder of the Global Citizens' Assembly) appears in his DeSmog article "As the UN General Assembly Turns 80, Can Ordinary Citizens Change How the World Is Governed?" dated January 19, 2026. The source URL returned 403 to WebFetch but the article and Wilson's bio are confirmed via Iswe Foundation, European Democracy Hub, and LinkedIn. Year 2026 matches. Vote alignment: Wilson advocates for citizens' assemblies (sortition/lottery selection) including for AI deliberations later in 2026 — this directly supports a "for" vote on "Use sortition (random selection of citizens) to staff AI oversight boards."
