yunus 10000 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.

mark -following our phone call - below is a listing of fast company people when I visited their boston offices in 2002 and social capitalist heath row; how one wholly reconstructs this network will take a lot of mutual support if indeed anyone circulated wishes to action

since then FC have been taken over, financially restructured, moved to new york

heath row who used to be the social capitalist in charge of intercity meetings in over 100 cities and 20 countries including a vibrant london chapter that used to convene monthly at happy computers has certainly left- if anyone can re-establish contact with him I am sure he could map where the others are and whether what's left at fastcompany might understand the project you wnat commissioned

the london owner of happy computer (henry stewart) is the same guy who in principle said to sofia and me at the world entrepreneur summit that his office could be used if we want to convene monthly 100 person meeting on ending poverty and hunger- some group of mark, patrick, sofia, tav and mostofa and mitchell, guilhem might make up- their mind as to whether they are getting this happening this fall or not. Getting 100 person meeting on hunger and poverty going in a city in a way that any twin city could then follow is clearly a game London should lead on if its ever going to regain world service media. I assume if londoners ever wish to take 7 projects to a dialogue in dhaka some group will stand up and just do this. Given all the enthusiasm in december for starting an ad hoc social action committe london , it beggars belief that nobody has facilitated this hunger and poverty forum yet.

at FC: what's pivotal is whether alan webber is still at fast company as he's the journalist for humanity leader of the campaign to get Yunus and 100000 grassroots bangladeshi's a Nobel prize for economics http://www.usatoday.com/printedition/news/20080521/oplede_wednesday.art.htm

In the old days when the internet explored what humanity wished for, business2.0 gave fastcompany a reason to try hard. That's closed down but its owner chris anderosn exited in tme to form http://www.ted.com/ whatever you think that 1000 person annual conference and wishmaking group is about. Probably its historically been far more into video projects than fastcompany as its web shows and eg the wish that became http://www.pangeaday.org/ manifests

Are you a journalist for humanity , qualified or studying?

The questions that used to be transparently asked of top leaders by entrepreneurs, future historians, economists and so forth have gone missing with globalization mark 1.

The truth why so much of human vitality has gone missing is to do with the way that spreadsheet's greatest mathematical mistake took over from common sense human judgement as well as investing beyond the year in which managers are rewarded or penalised. Adddiction to petroleum economics would never have been the greatest marketing failure ever if simple questions had been transparently sustained by journalists and the media they rule or are ruled by.

Here are directions to webs that offer to mentor and guided tour JfH in how to ask questions untile truth goes way beyond being inconveneint or con veneint but compounds as the whole truth wherever sustainability of future generations depends on the quality of questions asked worldwide

grameen.tv - how do you benchmark the world's leading empowerment systems - and having seen the benchmarks how do we investigate which of the world's largest organisations are systeming the exact opposite of empowerment

worldcitizen.tv what are 7 crisis tipping points of the next few years that will determine sustainability and irreversibility of humanity

up200.tv can you help the world unite in searchin g out the 200 most hi -trust people to network colaboratively around in 2008

Please nominate journalists (and help us guide you to what audeinces or projects for humanity each is activating around them)

also tell us how we can collaborate in surveys of which media care about sustaining human beings everywhere even if means asking questions of the powers that be which represent the smallest voice

projects - offers of collaboration or parallel surveys welcome

1 asking whether the BBC could do more to inquire about projects humanity needs and to spend less on spectator sports - our pledge network - tell us if you start a pledge survey of your public broadcaster along similar lines so we can come and sign up

2 Owners of the economist - what are their visions - is the actual practice of economics being reformed as rapidly as my father wrote in The Economist of 1984 would by now be essential
-have shareholder listing - am proceeding with general survey; would be great to have help from people who may want to survey local people etc who happen to be shareholders - mail me at wcbn007@easynet.co.uk

what interesting competitions for student journalists do you know of? eg 1

Friday, June 09, 2006

Thomas Friedman, is a million readers and counting with his future history of the world is flat. He's pretty well promised this will be a serial publication and the new emphasis will be on Green is The Next Red, White and Blue- Look through these bookmarks to start exploring teh 64 trillion dollar question

what's green connote?
sustainability exponentials

transparency of interfacing every organisational typology. Mathematically this multi-win molecule 1 2 is the only way that governance for all can prevent conflicts or disconnects from bring a whole network down;

collaboration as the new competitive advantage because:
1 most of the greatest value multiplying waves of a global village age require collaboration as roundtable demates have consistently mapped since 1984

2 all the greatest risks of compounding loss of sustainability involve responsible global market sector responses to humanity's concerns not individual corporations alone

3 since 1984 death of distance debates have been confirming that as we move through the warp of globalsiation between 2005 and 2015, civil society organisational typologies are the only hi-trust contender we have got of catalysing a renewal of trust in corporations and governments if all side collaborate
Gospelising the mission -is Clare one of 21stC's David Livingstones? If so who else is in the David Livingstone network of journalism?

http://www.pledgebank.com/bbcgames
Can we connect realisation of the above huge question with the one below? Could there be any simpler way for collaboration 1 2 to change the world 1 2 than bloggers 1 2 and teachers 1 2 helping all people to beam up their communities most critical challenges into this. Transparent , Sustainable 1 2 and interactive 1 2 3 4 valuation of corporate branding 1 2 3 4 if you wish.
http://deathofdistance.blogspot.com/

At its core our death of distance future history nets - formed by an economist, a science fiction writer, a doctor of biology, a mathematician, a future systems mapmaker and experimenters with learning networks - have been debating charters for 22 years now which clarify that sustainability or destruction of humanity by globalisation is a media and mediation revolution.


There's a huge quality/leadership mediation idea emerging among those who opinion lead Social Entrepreneur (SE) networks and citizen organisations - corporations who get this will have a huge competitive advantage. ( I first understood this idea when watching the 16 ashoka dvd testimonies by their 6 top guides to SE as a maturing quality of leadership) -ref 1 2

Suppose we have a class of corporations of 2006 voted as getting SE. How would we keep raising the bar each year for corporations to be in the class. One suggestion is that as well as increasingly funding relevant SE projects (surely better corporate branding than television spots) the top league should increasingly be asked to sign the 10 global compact principles so that by 2015 nothing the corporation does is in conflict with them

This idea raises different sorts of questions depending how your initiatives are helping to popularise SE quality or project activate it http://project30000.blogspot.com/ . Constant conversations and feedback and feedforward is needed from travellers like Clare and fans like us to make sure SE quality challengers leaders in the ways diversity's urgent challenges most need.

There is one parallel in corporate history as far as I know- 1980's Baldrige quality maturity profile benchmarking leagues
I don't want to distract this thread from its exciting travels around the world. It's my purpose to try to contact everyone with everyone who believes we can Baldrige SE as a worldwide way of valuing corporations progress towards sustaining people (especially those in desparte need most impacted by particular sectors global and local leadership). Do contact me any time to discuss more

David Weinberger
PLEDGE BANK - breaking news feb05- back in 2002 David 1,2 helped us give the pledge idea of million person web an airing; now we hear this on the net-grapevine:launching soon is ‘pledgebank’ : to create an online mechnism for pledges of mutual support, reliant upon hitting a tipping-point level of support. Coming within a f-night at www.pledgebank.org examples

I’ll donate £10 to oxfam is 1,000,000 people do too.
I’ll fast for a day if 10,000 people do too.
I will donate a day to run a farmers market stall if 10 others do too.
I will drink tap water instead of bottled water, if three other people make the shift.
I will give up alcohol if you do.This is a big mutualist idea. Keep an eye out.

Nomination: David WeinbergerTo include 2 journalists from the cluetrain stable may seem repetition. I would argue not. David Weinberger's Loose Pieces book did a fabulous job in providing a summary of how its main lessons on being connected could be taught to 12 year olds. His latest campaign is Open Spectrum (extracts below)

The End of the Broadcast Nation
We are not in the age of Information. We are not in the age of the Internet. We are in the Age of Connection.Being connected is at the heart of our democracy and our economy. The more and better those connections, the stronger are our government, businesses, science, culture, education…Until now, our connectedness has depended on centralized control points that have been the gatekeepers of our economic and political networks. To speak to everyone, you had to be one of the few with access to a broadcast networks. To sell to everyone, you had to be one of the few with access to a global distribution channel. To achieve office, you had to be one of the few with access to corporate coffers and national media. But we are on the verge of being able to connect to anyone and everyone, whenever and however we want. No gatekeepers. Ubiquitous connection. Connectedness that’s always there and always on. This isn’t about getting more TV channels. Change the way we’re connected and you’ve changed everything, from the economy to governance. This is how fundamental transformation occurs.In this context, spectrum has nothing to do with electromagnetic waves and auctions. It is far more fundamental: Spectrum is connection.We will connect. The human drive for connection is too strong to be stopped. The market and the electorate are clamoring for this. Consider just some of the more obvious changes:When consumers are connected, we turn off the marketing messages and tell one another the truth about what we buy.When students are connected, they teach each other and work collaboratively…even if they are still being graded as if each assignment were done alone in a cell.When citizens are connected, we put our money and our votes with politicians who join the fray. Safe, phony words and please-everyone positions sound more hollow than ever. We want our government to recognize and reflect the values connectedness brings.When an economy is connected, goods and services move faster. Little players get a foothold against the giants. Innovation skyrockets. Risks are taken and investments are made. The old gatekeepers of connection find their treasure is now a commodity. But that commodity fuels an outbreak of economic growth that will last for decades.When a society is connected, it becomes more fair. Broadcasting’s lock on the channels of communication is broken, so more voices are heard and people are better able to determine their own individual and collected fates.The Age of Connection will begin with a fundamental change in metaphors and a basic reframing of the issues.Next sections at David's bookmark above also make good questions for this threadhow do we reframe the issues?How we got here: Technology and bad metaphors?As a network topology, broadcast assumes that the messages are sent one to many. As an economic model, it assumes the "channel" is an expense and revenues come from the content that is broadcast (via subscription or advertising). As a social structure, broadcast assumes that the ability to communicate is unequally – and unfairly – distributed.The result of these assumptions is a population that by and large is presumed to be sitting quietly, facing forward, consuming content developed by commercial interests. The effects of having become a "Broadcast Nation" are profound. Our freedom is defined by the channel changer nearby. We expect power to be concentrated in the hands of those who have access to media. We expect politicians to be talking at us more than listening to us. We expect consumer goods to be "broadcast" the way messages are: identical goods flowing from a single source. We even experience The Famous as a special class of person whose lives are played out over the broadcast network.We can get a taste of the effect of breaking free of the broadcast metaphor by looking at what the Internet is doing. The Net enables people to connect with one another, circumventing the broadcast chokepoints and the organizational chart formalities. We are at the beginning of a generational phase of innovation not only in technology but in ways we human beings are organizing ourselves. We're inventing new types of groups, new ways of writing, new rhythms of social intercourse. To gauge the effect of opening up spectrum, take the energy of the Internet and multiply it, for all of that Net's passion and commitment comes from a medium that until now is overwhelmingly used to transmit text. It is a typed medium. Imagine when our connectedness is no long constrained to the speed of typing and the limits of a text-based presentation of ideas. Certainly new businesses will arise commercializing the new inventions. More important, however, is the great democratizing effect this will have on our culture. We will get up off the couch and face one another. We will expect — demand — direct responses. Cant and marketing messages will be worse than insulting; they will be boring. We will be able to organize ourselves not just around ideas that can be typed but richer expressions of thought and attitude. Mood, emotion, and art — hard to convey in ASCII — will re-enter the global connection. A bottom-up conversation can begin over the ether, helping to make participatory democracy real.

43 norman macrae section

as teenager learnt economics in bangladesh from an Indian correspondence course whilst waiting to navigate RAF planes in WW2; got to cambridge in 1945 in time to be last undergrads lectured by Keynes; career long editorial writer for The Economist 1950-1989; impudent scots curiosity preferred by Japanese and Americans and disliked by English- receiving higher honors on retirement in Japan than UK

sample of writings and original concepts at http://www.normanmacrae.com/ and http://futurehistory.jp/

primary lifelong learning tags :

1 journalise public warnings in joking-but-serious style -cf survey the neurotic trillionaire http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=active&q=%22neurotic+trillionaire%22&btnG=Search
dont mass debate things without optimistic flows governing the way instant voting consequentialises futures; break this media(ting) rule and healthy democracy starts falling apart;

2 economics love micro : it contextually maps how to integrate/sustain (compound into the future) human goodwill multipliers and exponentials (growth or crashes), beware macro: during mass media age this descended into disgraceful political chicanery; worse there is always the soundbiting bias that academia will find rich sponsors to theorise around analysis rules that make the big bigger, and the short-term speculator takes over from the compound communal good; know gandhi's truth law- when a civilisation is crashing, profesional monoplies will hasten it- they are where the loci of any successful turn round will need directing

3 entrepreneurial revolution trilogy -everyone's an entrepreneur; real innovation starts up by exploring what conventional wisdom is compounding wrongly from ivory towers and other high top places especially those representing extremes of capitalism or communism (being the same endgame in terms of consequences for most human beings)

4 from service economics up every system (starting with biggest) needs future auditing for conflicts between productive and demanding flows;

4a networks are system**N which is why both mathematicians like einstein and social surveyors like Orwell expected globalsation of technology would end up spiraling viciously crashing systems

5 future histories of market sectors (including nations or any branded place-type market) are largely predictable depending on goodwill of badwill quality already invested into system

6 every big economic theory was a patch on what a previous history's rules had started compounding dismally; so know the context that any economic intervention was designed for before duping it

Latest megatrend spotted 30 June 2006 - gates world change

In the early days of megatrend (and future history learning networks) it was necessary to cut and paste newspaper clippings. My dad recalls as he was editor of an English edition of John Naisbitt's megratrends, as well as forty year long future historian and economics editor at The Economist, and with me co-author of the 1984 future history on whether the death-of-distance generation (1984-2024) would collaborate enough to sustain children into century 22. Mathematically, the odds have slipped from about 2 to 1 on humanity to 2 to 1 against from 1984 to 2005; let's hope this turns out to be a game whose second half revolves round wholly different exponentials

Today all we have to do is regularly keep track of google news of change the world - what conversations,concerns, methods are people reviewing to see if we can collaborate in sustaining a 22nd century for all children

Example: date stamp 9 June 2006 -whilst the image media is gearing up for the world cup, the social entrepreneur 1 2 3 olympians are tracking searches like this current top 10 of change the world

Extract:
Can Web 2.0 change the world?
MSNBC - 21 hours ago
By Michael Rogers (The Practical Futurist). One of the more influential technology conferences of the year took place two weeks ago in Silicon Valley, but you saw hardly a word about it in the mainstream media. Perhaps that’s because it lacked the sizzle of newly-rich entrepreneurs and venture capitalist king-makers — but what it lacked in glitter it made up for in world-changing potential.

NetSquared was a gathering of some 370 philanthropists, nonprofit and non-governmental organizations, humanitarian services and charities—along with technology companies and assorted digerati — discussing how the much-touted Web 2.0 technology could be harnessed for social change.Web 2.0 is the term Web maven Tim O’Reilly gave to the collection of user-oriented technologies (tagging, ranking, pointing, self-publishing and so on) that have spawned sites like MySpace, Digg, YouTube and countless competitors
