Declare the GD an "Independent Virtual State"
I assume most are gathered here, virtually speaking, because your political leadership has failed to address your best interests, as individuals and communities. Those leaders have lost our confidence because they do not deserve it. For whatever reason, they have chosen to ignore the People's needs AND desires, only addressing those concerns when it reinforces their power. Why should we trust that they will respond to our petitions now, regardless of how those requests are created?
I propose we of this Global Democracy drop this relatively weak posture of begging the indulgence of our Rulers and simply declare ourselves an "Independent Virtual State". If we believe in the Power of the People to rule themselves, let us declare it BOLDLY. : ) > - Peace.

This idea (and, it occurs to me, this entire website) requires the principle of 'one human, one vote'. As currently implemented it appears to be instead 'one email address, one vote' -- what's stopping me creating another account with another email address, rinse, repeat?
Of course this would require user verification which would incur all sorts of overhead and take us into the whole privacy mess. But: maybe that's needed for 'global democracy' to work.
