What would stop an entity creating many other entities to sway voting outcomes? This would be referred to as a Sybil attack.

I think you would need something like a web of trust (each entity is responsible for the actors they vouch for). Otherwise, some kind of proof of how many users they represent.

A hard-coded initial entity set, along with a voting process for additions to and removals from that entity set.

In other words, a classic DAO design.
