http://yunus10000.com collaboration coordinators for youth dialogues in that city and between cities together with invitations to action specific to each video good news story - eg if you want microcredit to beat off big banks why not help any school try out micro credit with the world's simplest program small change, big changes - a microloanfoundation franchise
Peers across hemispheres and I are far more interested in ensuring that each of these intercity movements vetoes any uses of 20th c failing system methods that the majority of club coordinators -or where elected an honorary board - vote against, than prescribing revenue models.
OPEN SOURCING THE CLUBS
Obviously we should want coordinators to make a living out of work input whlst at the same time recognising that being a club coordinator is probably worth more than having many a professional qualification - or needs to become so if this world is to be sustainable. Equally where profits are repeatedly generated I assume we can find a way iof agreeing some sliding scale that should be contributed either to your favourite grassroots organsiation in bangladesh or to a small list of other potential grassroots partners of future capitalism which should probably need at least 75 of members refendum to confirm
I am very happy if people will negotiate what other rules they would need to want to participate as well as to clarify where they want diferent contant at the mother webs. The main web system I use costs $35 a year per web so its not difficult to imagine that major cties will also want to set up their own branch web or of course a free blog - either of which we will happily linmk from the top of the mother web.
Obviously some of our constitution needs double checking with for example the 100000 bangladeshi's and other Gandhians who are the main practical exemplar of the values we seek to network worldwide so that the future sustains 7 billion brilliant jobs and goodwill multiplying across all women, children and even men.
We wish to learn from each city's most successful ways of mobilising and cross-cultural celebration, as well as metods for ensuring that any action network actually reaches to those in most desperate need of its service. This is one of the big lessons of bangladeshi experience -reiterated by every micro-system designer in bangladesh we have interviewed - once a networks starts empowering the entrepreneur inside it will never get deeper than the deepest needsholders it begins with. This is a lesson that many global NGOs seem never to have begun to grade.

Dr Yunus of Grameen and microcredit and Nobel peace 2006 is setting cities and citiens around the world an interesting challenge. If he is passing through your city would you be able to find 1000 people who all wanted to collaborate with each other as well as him in empowering a good global world instead of the bad one currently compoundingSynonyms for good are win-win-win, sustainable, empowering every community up, one where hi-trust people transparently win over low-trustSo 2 questions:if Yunus was passing through Africa cities, which do you think would produce the most collaborative impactsif you are a twin national
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2516276605 - eg living in a rich city but with family roots back in Africa - how ready is your big rich city to represent Africa interests when Yunus hosts his Forum 1000 there.My friends are particularly working on London and New York as 2 test cities; partly because a London University student spent the summer interning in Dhaka on this project. One intercity collaboration idea is collaboration cafe - see those we have already hosted and tell us at info@worldcitizen.tv if you want to replay one in your city or virtually
http://worldcitizen.tv/_wsn/page4.html Another collaboration idea is can we produce a good global idea to heroes, their projects and networks for humanity. Why do people all over the world know the top 10 sporstmen for 50 different sports but not top 10s for different vital issues of human sustainability?

Canada seems to us to be the world's leader in understanding how to map globalisation & environmental crises that are compounding around non-trasparency (corruption) and externalities (a branch of organisational economics which dismally suggests that an industry's greatest risk can profitably be passed off to whatever society -on another side of the world- knows least about it). We are, of course, delighted to receive nominations of any place in the Americas or elsewhere that is taking these issues as seriously as these benchmarks:

Grounded Theory - the antiodote to all modern market or academic research that is constructed to reinformce a pre-existing opinion- how this really done,
here's an intro
*Over at Claremont we have the world’s center of gravity of alumni who know all about the consequences of transparent leadership of system integrity at every level from the top of the world’s largest organisations to the culturally sustaining or destructive motivations of knowledge workers and the communities or networks they spin. This is due to the 95 year learning curve of Peter Drucker who died Nov 2005 as the 20th Century’s number 1 authority on hi-trust management
Footnote: @ Claremont, Drucker was the senior organisational mapmaker of the generation that grew up with how one man like Hitler could design organisational terrors with impacts that caused worldwide misery and risked losing humanity across the world. He was concerned that at every level of education peoples everywhere agree on an understanding that any system – national, corporate or professional that exercises worldwide power over people needs to be transparently stewarded so that it serves societies and customers truly not the empires and greeds of individuals inside the organisation. Having seen how control of one new media (Hitler’s case radio) could be corrupted to enslave people he was concerned how this century’s hi-tech emergence of hundreds of network media opportunities to corrupt globalisation will be systemised by or for the world’s people. His future history competences make it simple to see that only one of two goodwill endgames will web together all our social ecologies – destruction of nature and much of our species, or sustaining the greatest time for all of the human race’s interconnecting diversities to sustain each other. For over quarter a century, Drucker has consistently alerted us to the global singularity happening in the decisions and transformations that our half-generation enacts over the next decade. An extract from the first issue of Drucker Magazine (1997):STRATEGIC OPPORTUNITIES IN THE CONNECTIVE ERADeveloping connective leadership ability is an innovative process. Adopting more effective personal technologies is similar to embracing any technical innovation. It requires exploring new perspectives, as well as loosening one's grasp on familiar technologies -- in this case, traditional leadership behaviors.In a world where diversity and interdependence pose serious threats for leaders, connective leadership brings an ethical instrumentalism to bear on the politics of human interaction. Still, it does not throw away everything else. Indeed, it revitalizes traditional leadership behavior. Through principled deployment of political strategies, connective leaders harness individualism and teamwork.For contemporary leaders, the greatest danger is to remain caught in the quagmire of outdated leadership styles. Leaders who do so risk missing the enormous strategic opportunities offered by the Connective Era. Those leaders who employ the broadest and most flexible leadership repertoire are most likely to meet the complex challenges of the coming decades. Of course, risk always keeps company with opportunity. To brave the storms of change, leaders must be bold enough to redefine the very terms of leadership. Accepting this challenge may be our last real chance for gaining the connective edge.

we are always interested in suggestions, but here's part of an occasional series to illustrate
1.1 question hosts of big leadership conferences: do they have motivations
1 like
Clinton's Global Initiative of developing project initiatives that change the world? do they expect the audience to become alumni and connect with other leadership networks or any of the missions of the speakers; -
here's a sample mail on how it only takes 5 minutes to question a conference host, and how we can link the authority of collaboration knowledge city and
project30000 and death of distance scripts for
globalcharters since 1984 to your own reasons for asking
1.2 As our Death of Distance &
Entrepreneurial Revolution archives of scripts at
globalcharters since 1984 confirm, we believe that 7 waves are causing an unprecedented revolutionary challenge to our generation 1984-2024. If citizens everywhere connect in collaboration we may make a better world, otherwise the sustainability of future generations is in doubt. This is why we love to hear of any open space races that people and their social networks are piloting, and to circulate actionable project information. If this is your sort of endeavour with some of your time over the next 10 years, why not join our collaboration knowledge mapmakers
