So...

I'm curious as to why hardly anyone will participate in the CTO? I know various reasons but the bulk of people who are not on IRC don't get their opinions heard often. On average, I can only name a few who actively participate in the CTO: Dave, Ach, Astetoth and B. The four out of everyone else who could be active in it.

I know one of the reasons could be because it's so dominated by a few, very powerful nations. However, that is countered by the fact that others don't participate, therefore enable such a small niche of nations to dominate it. I admit that my own lack of participation only grows the bureaucracy too, and I've realized that my complaints about the CTO would be handled if I just gave attention to it. Also, I know for sure no one is occupied with anything else because not much else is really going on or takes that much energy.

So, please, voice why you don't or can't participate in the slightest towards the CTO. Because honestly, this lack of participation is unfairly affected our in-character perception.

Personally I try and participate in all CTO measures, even if it's just to somehow say I'm not participating.... I know what I mean. I think the issue for many I've spoke to is every debate becomes circular arguments going round and round, that's the responsibility of the Sec-gen to step in and steer the debate. But I agree the CTO may give the impressiin it's dominated by a few, however that's been permitted to happen. I'd also say many newer people may see the CTO as an irrelevance as not many things from them work.

The main reason I don't participate that much is there's a lot to catch on when you start in this region, including the CTO. You have such a history it's hard to get it all, and how it works. I know it's important, but where and how to start?
