i like the rotation idea. Let's say we can wave a wand and that this happens. I got quite close to running one of these things. Most people can on citizen juries. They often participate with governments in running them, because they are expensive to run. So i'm trying to think of sortitian as a kind of political activism. It does something which, when that's been done well in history, is one of the most miraculously successful things. To give away power in order to get it back in spades.
