A more conventional situation would be to make sure spokes were people
who had extensive experience in honestly representing others.  This
means that when they do so, all the members of theirs groups honestly
appreciate the representation.  The jaded scared activist community is
full of people with such experience.  They rough-hewn, knowledgeable,
friendly, passionate and often older people who are hard to find.  We
also train people at this in universities, but I don't know if that
training includes handling extreme coercion.
