The first step of a vote should be to randomly select 11 people who will be given responsibility for selecting the best choice and given time and resources to take it seriously. By "seriously" I mean like for a US presidential election a paid year of studying.

It terms of feasibility it should be popular because everyone wins either an hour of their life back or wins a chance to really make a difference.

(Starting out a vote by randomly selecting a smaller set of participants is called "sortition")
