Of the 4,200-plus  accredited  universities  and  colleges  in  the  United  States,  the Trans-American Alliance for a National Consensus (TANC) is initially projecting that it would seek to enlist 5 to 10 percent of America’s institutions of higher learning to serve as the local/regional hubs for this proposed National Electorate Legislative Assembly.  From the roughly 130 to 260 schools which would represent the membership of The Alliance’s trans-continental structure, TANC is hoping to enlist upwards of 51,000 student “Delegates” and 5,100 scholar “Counsels” to sit on a wide range of “reform” committees drawing advice and testimony from all of the country’s key public, civic and private constituency groups. 

The decentralized/localized nature of these committee hearings and town hall meetings will greatly assist member TANC colleges in crafting federal legislation that takes into account each region’s individual problems and needs.  The local findings could, conceivably, serve to assist municipal and state governments in crafting their own legislation. 

The illustrations below offer a preliminary outline of the Organizational Structure and Legislative Process flow for all of the “reform” committees currently up for proposal:
