Ejidal (Communal Land) Assembly
The Ejidal (Communal Land) Assembly is the main organization of an ejido (commual land) and is formed by all the ejidatarios (holder of a share in the communal land). It is held every six months but may be convened at any time of the year at the request of the Ejidal Commissary, or of the Supervisory Board, on its own initiative or at the request of at least 20 ejidatarios or 20 percent of the total ejidatarios; an agency outside of the ejidatario structure can also summon it. Their agreements, resolutions or determinations are binding for all, including absentees and dissidents.

Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
