Blog year2008 in october is about ending poverty http://events.takingitglobal.org/20255 so we hope this week's syndication to 100 blogs will exponentialise to tens of thousands of blogs by then, with a little help from friends like you

sustainability club http://sustainabilityclub.com

social business club http://www.socialbusinessclub.net

collaboration cafe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9nL_a0K97I

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.

Which will be the meetings with the most impact for humanity in 2007? - one of the most critical years of the decade of truth our future historians, economists, entrepreneurs and internationalists forecast 2005-2015 would need to be if the networking revolution is to integrate a sustainable globalisation rather than one that terminates future generations?

Our FutureHistory affiliates wish WEF well.
http://futurehistorian.tv http://futurehistory.jp
Indeed in its early days before it was famous , my dad helped out as a speaker more than once. However, absent of reformation, it has to be reviewed as potentially slipping out of relevance compared with meetings that did not even exist when the millennium began.

First there's the league of inspirational intiative meetings such as
Clinton Global , http://changeworld.net/_wsn/page5.html
microcreditsummit, http://microsummit.tv http://thegreenchildren.com
ted.com http://worldcitizen.tv/_wsn/page3.html
whose world citizen research rankings we maintain here http://sustainabilityclub.com/_wsn/page4.html

Second, this year it appears have become subject to a triple whammy of coincident events. Afirca's first ever world social forum; and India taking the lead with a sustaianbility forum that has bagged that most intriguing duo of climate 007: Nicholas Stern and Gordon Brown. Against which WEF's Lord Browne of BP and Blair look more like history's wisdom than the searching future's - unless this pairing is going to stand up and offer a converted view than any of they have previously mailed us.

Third unlike recent years when a key theme had been clarified and new data collected, and moreover a key speaker from another side of the world made extraordinary challenging contributions, WEF's pre-conference web this year sent me to sleep when I started reading the PCW 90-page knowledge concierge document (in transparency I must admit to potential bias: when I was employed by what became PCW in the early 1990s it was both the most boring and least entreprenurial career move on my vitae)

Nobody will be more delighted than us if WEF pulls a rabbit out of the magiician's tophat. Klaus is an a-list good sort, and whilst media coverage of economics was a subject entrepreneurially concerned with transparently investigating progress for all humanity WEF was the most exciting way to begin every New Year (apart from what each family chose to celebrate on January 1) We will be watching the WEF website http://www.weforum.org which is potentially a hidden jewel as a platform compared with all other meeting formats

Meanwhile, we've been frantically busy trying to sign up a quorum of world citizen future reporters from the World Social Forum in Kenya. What we don't care about is getting the scoops from the next 7 days. what we do care about is identifying the lasting comon actions troughout 2007 and how they connect with other extraordinary events being celebrated later in 007 both:
in Africa such as http://www.ted.com/tedglobal2007/
in the 5 years Passports to Sustainability http://passports.jp being launched as a round the world countdown to London's Olympic year with the goal of persuading the BBC that sustain ability's league heroes demand every bit as much hourly programming of the leading public broadcaster and world service channel as sports. After all's said and done, if we play any more inconvenient games with Truth on climate or the jigsaws of peace there will be no sports for future generations

Since Oded Grajew founded the World Social Forum from start of 2001, the impact on Schwab, the founder of the WEF has been amazing. Some notes:

Breaking Views from ClubofLondon current #1 in collaboration knowledge city bookmarks (votes over 40 million)

This week saw world water day come and go with less than a ripple. Did Londoners know how they could have contributed more news on this around the world? no matter

Next week is arguably the biggest in the calendar for gifts to the world Londoners as number 1 collaboration knowledge city can start up, and make the next 6 years marathon of make poverty history connect all around the world

With Al Gore visiting the twin cities of London and Oxford, we cannot imagine a better time to Launch the Social Entrepreneur Olympics. The game is to have got 30 gravity pursuits of social entrepreneur world champions into the public consciousness by 2012 as much as the top 30 sports.

All we need is love and courage to cheerlead cross-cultural creativity's waves:

The Livingstone has got us off to a great start; he has declared there will be no sporting Olympics in London in 2012 unless they are carbon free - turn up the heat on every politician since only photosynthesis innovations can produce clean energy of that sustainability magnitude. Make sure all those who host Al Gore events debrief him as the clock to 2012 counts down

The lessons to be learnt from Make Poverty History from pop stars down can be an epiphany if University of Stars and the BBC turn their minds to the greater transparencies (eg end all country corruptions) needed if Make Poverty History is to be a reality network not just an image-making one

So that's 28 more gravity pursuits we need to celebrate around social entrepreneurs with as much gusto as the 20th Century hailed sporting stars

We are reminded of one Harrison Owen story I should tell because open spacing education is a social entrepreneur pursuit every family can stand up for whereas we cannot all help on the ground with projects in Africa or in the roofs that algae use to convert the sunshine into cleansing energy banks.

He was studying to be a priest around the Washington Dc area. It was a time when Martin Luther King was having a dream. Harrison can't recall quite how it happened but he was standing in a civil rights field in a crowd of African Americans - one tall lanky white man. The police were beginning to charge on the crowd and Harrison was feeling quite scared. That is until a 7 year old black girl came up to him - and said Mister will you hold my hand

Since that day, Harrison gave up the priesthood to the chagrin of most of his family. And is one of the handfuls of people who most interconnects conflict resolution facilitators around the world. Their networks criss-cross all religions that believe in golden rules of reciprocity such as so unto another what you want done unto you. They also connect mathematically - if Einstein is correct here at http://clubofdc.blogspot.com - to Gandhi as the greatest inventor of peaceful social entrepreneurial revolution that 144 years of The Economist's coverage of this most productive of all professions.

If some of this post makes sense to you, why not re-edit the parts you like and send it to the board of Governors of the BBC, and should you wish Tony Blair or another politician well with their legacy why not copy them in to. We the British people, not any of our political representatives own the BBC. We have invested way over 50 billion pounds in this corporation. On a personal note to all scots- may I ask whether you feel the inventor of television would feel proud of a television where every big debate is framed one dimensionally around short-term left and right rivals or whomever is looking fore a job with big business if the party does not turn out Trumps for their apprenticeship to network power.

It is high noon for the BBC with its 10 year licence determined by and for the people in the year of 2o06. Please could our world service be one of British Character we can feel both pride and humility in searching for. Please free your journalists for humanity to take a fearless lead in realising this open source script from 1984 , so that trust across peoples everywhere begins to flow through every documentary inquiry that has anything to do with world peace or nightly newscast on poverty's challenges through 2012 - and through these communications help the British to get to know 30 gravity pursuits of Social Entrepreneurs with as much joy and attention as the 30 sports it spend most public licence fees on. Hey when Brits helped to invent most of these sports we surely never intended they would take over from greater British realities of world service, through believing in CommonWealth principles and our Queen's higher order right to ask us as she did in her end of 2005 broadcast to unite in preventing globalisation from turning humanity on itself.

For the same of deeper democracy blossoming and connecting every coordinate on earth, you can also play a jigsaw mapping game aimed at sustaining 2 million global villages. Here's part of my family's tree which may open up some useful connections- what connections could your family tree or that of your peer networks open source. If you can make a "peer or family tree" picture why don't we play the mixed networking games of swap and snap. If we are going to turn around globalisation’s exponentials sustainably in time, we are all going to have to work with whatever grassroots community contexts up we can help each other navigate. No lead is too small as long as it is one you intend to gravitate transparently around as part of you lifelong learning mission. We need to help change children's education now so that the core human rights of freedom and happiness have a chance to breathe nature's clean waters, airs and energies everyone human beings sing her praises. Let's all turn up the courage through every family in the land and into wherever co-mentoring networks in internet space may take A B C D E F you

World's Biggest Secrets Archives? we would love to know what people of Davos think of them

where? http://clubofdc.blogspot.com
But if that's too far away! we can extract any relevant bits you want in this blog)

What?
We've put a lot of time reviewing our 2 original sources for life-critical ideas that just don't seem to be getting leadership attention and list a few clues why?

source 1 Death of Distance - we wrote the first in this future history genre (now aka "world is flat") 22 years ago; lots that could have benefitted from 22 years work as forecast back in 1984 has barely started - eg 1984 billed 2000-2010 as world's most dangerous decade; we believed people would want photosynthesis abundant clean energy by now ( as innovations go its not a big problem to solve just a very contextually detailed one that could have been so much simpler if research had not been blocked until 2006's Union speech on ending petroleum addiction came out of the storm) ; we believed kids & sustainability of future generations deserved a total different education both in terms of curriculum (yes Augustine converted make science as fun as celebrity fashion) content and modalities of learning (less examining separte factors more training in how to network to find your own best embtors through life and help others likewise)

source 2 30 years old- Entrepreneurial Revolution Trilogy published by my father in The Economist; neither the word entrepreneur nor revolution is understood in the most valuable compounding senses; which is a pity because one way to make the world a better place is to extend the family tree of entrepreneurs into many different subspecies but that's not going to work whle we started with the wrong end of the stick of what E & R greatest leadership trusts are

If you do have time to visit http://clubofdc.blogspot.com our open source deal is - cut and paste anything you like to start conversations with; ask us questions here if relevant or around a worldwide roundmap at http://www.frappr.com/entrepreneur

Is this the #1 story of our life and times? If not , please tell me what is?

# 1 compelling story of our lives and times???
how abundant energy and clean water - and so the economics of abundance became to be co-created is very simple provided :
you have a good enough map (help us develop it)
you all collaborate around developing this treasure

why
value: because those places with the most extreme climates either have the most desperate energy needs or capabilities to multiply sunshine's energy flows or both
*
innovation: they are where people have spent longest with experimenting with solutions, as well as any cross-cultural conflicts or historical errors
*
nature: they are where nature most wants to help save the world from the system of system crises of threat and opportunity that waves dynamise

come on humanity, since 1984 scripts from leading economists have suggested this is the major entrepereneurial 1 2 challenge to network collaboratively around, before all our global villages learn how to network other value multipliers and 30000 projects worth open sourcing all over the world

The Declaration of Berne

One thing is certain and one question remains open; when it does companies like those Berne's listings will be as valueless as those that get Moody's bottom of the class rankings? The open question is when will trust, transparency and sustainability of life be fully valued in the way that corporate governance is systemised?

This is an extract from a BBC report on World Economic Forum week in Davos

Once again the forum has attracted many of the world's most influential trade ministers.

Nearly 30 of them are in town, and as in previous years they are meeting on the sidelines of the event to hammer out a framework that could restart the global trade round.

The fact that they do so surrounded by top executives of the world's largest multinational companies will fan the suspicion of critics of the world's trade regime.

China is at the top of the agenda

Anti-poverty group Actionaid has just released a report to coincide with the WEF start, accusing corporate lobbyists of having "an undue influence on the current global trade talks".

And in a way Davos is indeed the perfect place to lobby, whether for a good cause or your country.

India is making Davos the focus of its new "India everywhere" campaign, with a huge delegation of top government officials and business leaders.

Others are betting on the powers of jazz.

The state of Louisiana has invited to a "Bring back New Orleans" party, hoping to persuade investors to return to the hurricane-battered region.

Many of the people that Louisiana needs to persuade will be among the white badge holders in Davos.

For 30 years now we have been debating peoples economics scripts which grew out of my dad's 1976 survey in The Economist "Entrepreneurial Revolution". How can we help your city or country bring debates on integrating economic diversity to a global stage? My dad also supported Davos in the days when it was youthful and less famous - is it time that Davos now gave back all over the world and global village change networks?

Some emerging cataloguing areas are listed below. But most of all we look forward to any ideas from your citizens or netizens on how we could all do this.

WHYNOT India 2007
It could be particularly timely if we could discuss this before Delhi hosts the 2007 centenary of Gandhi be the change and Gandhian community-sustaining economics

Reasons Commonwealth friends might vote for this include:
Queen Elizabeth 2 and India's Prime Minsister Singh (together with Sonia Gandhi) have been doing as much as anyone with global opnion leading status in 2000-2005 to warn on the risks of compounding a globalisation that does not value human beings from communities up. The UK's BBC and In dia's DD are the world's 2 largest public broadcaster - a sector on which compounding the healthiest economic exponentials of world mediation and learning networks depend. Commonwealth jams 1 2 have some amazing updates to let the world test out on photosynthetic energy, a source which hot climates can gain from by evolving simple and low cost algae bubbling architecture

people's economics perspectives, and 30th birthday party of entrepreneurial revolution scripts of our futures
why and how major cities can take a lead in harmonising economic exchanges across 2 million global villages 1 2

the 21 compound revolutions to global market sectors humanity needs to stimulate by 2010

changing brand and Knowledge management to be people relationship centred and hi-trust valued

changing to transparent maps of organisational governance and sustainability investment

2006 is at least the second year in this decade that Davos has provided it delegates with a major "round the world" survey of how different cultures value trus as you can find for this search

Since trust is one of the deepest and longest running open searches I _and co-editors at club of city & village & ER (as well as hosts of 30 years of dialogue circles DoD) have moderated on virtual community conversation boards and written up connections across disiplines and to intangibles valuation and corporate goverance, I would like to ad this tableau of views, and ways you can explore how the future valuation of trust may compound

Economics and exponentials research can now demonstrate that 90% of the wealth we peoples compound is now governed unseen.

Questions:
how do govern this more transparently? 1

what are the sources of this unseen wealth 1 2 : turns out that trust-flow or any of the highly correlated flows of emotional intelligence/literacy which systemise the inegrity of productive and demanding human relations systems is one arena to explore as is any combination of the following:

choose one of these words : human, social, intellectual, sustainability

and one of these words
capital , preneur

and then add a context which may be "knowledge city", "of nations" or any of these 21 global categories where people most urgently need simultaneous conflict resolution. As open space and other facilitators/transfomation networkers of widespread co-creation or systemic innovation will tell you - changing a global sector that is exponentially destructing human relations and value to an uptilting colaborative and positively value multiplying expoential is the greatest innovation and leadership achievement we all can discover and celebrate

Here's a travelogue of Leith wordings that I selectively encountered the last time I clicked through the above links:

"Let's light up the collaborative world"
Leif Edvinsson: The world is starting to see the invisibles or the capabilities in the relationships
... One angle to see is to look for the collaborative possibilities to shape a common wealth
(Albert Angehrn: ... like in OpenSource,,Ahmed Bounfour: Yes, and this means that collaboration dominate the conflict ...sari ehrlich: Leif & Ahmed, Why Communities Now ? )
Leif Edvinsson: Just remember the Commonwealth....also referred to as UK, of which we are just renting the language for this dialogue


Leif: Trust is the bridge for knowledge sharing, like a bridge, so for the world of today we have to learn to build Fast Trust, as a priori judgement for interaction and collaboration...A book in progress is called Collaborative Entrepreneurship, by Raymond Miles, Berkeley among others looking into recipes like Linux...Linux community offers a way of building organisational capital that resembles more of the political science than business admin. One esssential dimension is to have so called protocols of volunteers rather than job description etc.

The mapping system has to aligned to the trust issues, rather than harvesting and competing.
Acknowledgement of sources seems to be one essential ingredient, resulting in share with delight instead of stolen with pride

IC for a city is also the future earnings capabilities in terms of people, infrastructure, and relationships. A K-City can be defined as a City that purposefully designed to encourage nourishing of collective knowledge as a capability to take efficient action to create a sustainable wealth.The C(apital of City) is standing both for Community and Context, for the knowledge worker. Therefore it is essential to develop a deeper understanding for the influences , positive and negative for the k-worker....Level of performances are many; but the most simple structure is to look for the levels of individual and the brain, then the group, then the larger group and finally the society...

(Edna pasher: In our chapter about IC of Israel it is obvious that knowledge and education are linked. )Leif Edvinsson: Hofstede has done such culturally characteristics studies for regions among others, ...One of the most successful cases referred to in my book is Ragusa, a city that sustained its wealth creation for 500 years, between 1200-1800, until Napoleon outsmarted their social intelligence forces...According to me Ragusa purposely designed a social intelligence, across the community and also designed internal activities, as a city to govern the incoming insights. One recent case is Barcelona, that installed a CKO in 1999, and in december last year a Chief Innovation Officer, just recruited from MIT. So in short words what is missing today is social intelligence and social innovations...We have to remember that the industrial dimensions are a temporary concept, that has been around for about some hundreds of years. As such very efficient to give wealth to nations. But what we see today is also that there is a global dynamics resulting in lost of wealth for many nations. Remember around 1000 years ago Sumatra was a very wealthy place, later followed by South America and after that Europe and next to come.....

Leif Edvinsson:A knowledge zone might be the design space for reflective design, i.e. to get the intangible insights, aha...Especially today we are in an era of urban design, but what is emerging, industrial cities...I learned from Nonaka that a BA is also a place for appreciation, ie a place for value and values...From history we can learn that cities emerged to be effective places for trade of goods. Now cities or regions or communities are the same for trade of knowledge. ...But we have to learn to focus on innovations in these trading or exchange environments, to go from Best practice to Best option, where the value is in the time advantage on knowing

Seaching More Pearls of Edvinsson

http://www.corporatelongitude.com/download.asp?id=162&Healthandwealthbydesign.pdf
Many significant value-creating assets are qualitative, complex and
invisible from a strictly financial viewpoint. We delude ourselves if we believe that the toolbox of classical accounting is neutral. It accentuates those facets of life that resemble the dead mechanical universe for which they were originally designed.
Putting one’s faith in a set of rigorous deductions, based on biased assumptions, is
utterly irrational.

http://www.co-i-l.com/coil/knowledge-garden/ic/edvinsson.shtml
"The traditional model of accounting, which so beautifully described the operations of companies for a half a millennium, is now failing to keep up with the revolution taking place in companies...The chilling fact is this: At this moment we have no idea which companies, large or small, young or old, have sustainable organizational capability,"

Leif Edvinsson began his response to the previous comments by congratulating the PRISM
group for its work and stressing that the conference was a milestone in the development of our
understanding of intangibles and intellectual capital.
He reiterated the importance of analysing the sources of value creation and that the problem with
measurement is not to develop new indicators but rather to be sure that we are going in the right
direction with measurement and that we are less ignorant about value creation, which he
collectively nicknames ‘me-assure’.
We need to build trust in indicators beyond those that measure wealth. Managing intangibles is
about in-sourcing capital in waiting (getting the brains), while corporate social responsibility is
about out-sourcing (the relationships between the firm and its environment).
Managing intangibles is not only also about the micro level, but about the very micro level: the
individuals, the brains. The departure of a key employee can lead to a fall in a firm’s value:
hence some intangible assets can also be considered intangible liabilities in waiting.
He poses the question as to whether the collective intellectual capital of the 300m Europeans can
be considered as assets or liabilities in waiting.

a question to 21st : will men at top of globe leave the peoples to suffer all the troubles first?

The death of distance future history we wrote in 1984 (the final book of a trilogy whose first 2 episodes were published as surveys in The Economist 1976 1982 ) predicted the next decade would revolve round reconciling this risk. In a networked age the people at the top are not as smart as connecting what we could all observe, question, collectively knowledge work around.

If this decade 2000-2010 fails in this globalisation reconciliation, 1 we will have failed our children's generation and started mankind's destruction of the earth. Call that the George Orwell scenario or which ever scifi apocalypse tomorrow you have had the closets encounter with. If however we succeed in mapping a way through so that the top listen to the people and use media to ask the next big questions rather than to image over reality, then we forecast that the 21st C will be the age when humankind finally grows up in the greatest collaboration and civilisation imaginable.

OUR MISSIONS at MACRAE.NETS

WE will keep circulating our scripts on Death of Distance and Entrepreneurial Revolution for Open Debate wherever people sources linkin or netizens co-blog A B C D

We will develop a website valuetrue.com where all transparency communities are invited to map out hi-trust relationships and transparencies between the boundaries of one place and another, or one competitive corporation and another, or one management profession and another. We will update any trouble stories that appear in the hope that out of conflicts pattern rules higher order harmony can be facilitated. This reflects the number 1 learning about innovation and peace of open space in its first 50000 rehearsals that Harrison Owen's worldwide alumni began about the same time as we started issuing earth of distance debating scripts. May all your good's love unite around large scale people meetings wherever the souls and spirits are trying their best to love one another.

Sarajevo is itself exquisitely beautiful, with architecture dating from the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian empires while at the same time everywhere the scars of war are evident. Also, everyone has a story of pain. Together, it is almost too much to bear. The task of reconciliation is certainly a massive one!

How we announced MyWorldAtlas to The Open Space Community whose shared listserve is as inquisitive for humanity's sake as any yet known to valuetrue transparency communities and ASIN emerging at BBCican.

I have been piloting this systemic construct's components for quite a long while now, and feel confident enough to expose it to your advice. Doubtless it needs huge improvement. I have long believed an open networking world needs a whole new atlas to take economics above zero-sum extraction - our dream journey begins at global university with helping people to develop a different map for every humanitarian agenda that replicates globally but requires active resolution locally. Oddly, as I begin to network professionally with sustainabilty investment analysts - defined to be those whose prime concern is mathematically quantifying future exponentials - I believe that service and knowledge community businesses could learn from this paradigm too. See through maps of how key relationships of productivities and demands win-win-win make a company's most attractive (unique founding) purpose sustainable if it a company is prepared to make its reputation an open gateway to better futures for as many people as possible (an old fashion view of why people commit working lives to organisation). This seems to be acutely true in transformation contexts needing appreciation of Harrison's Triple-C : Conflict-Chaos-Confusion template for reconciliation. The first component of MyWorldAtlas is literally to issue an invitation to a person or people in a network who appear to have a common gravity that I would hope to mutually multiply trust around. In issuing such invitations, its often unclear who needs to co-mentor who first- that is part of the exploration permit or open space dialogue. I am sure, since Open Spaces are the greatest invitation gatherings around, you could edit a better invitation but the one our (1) MyWorldAtlas network uses currently is approximately this Typical Co-Navigation Opening Offer Between Deep Context MyWorldAtlas Cartographers The more I read of your ideas and concerns , the more I would like to work as virtual partners on a deep joint project By a deep issue context I mean: any one that you will be passionate about over the next 7 years and need some joint open searching, linking, promotion, facilitation, action project prooftesting and global replication. I don't particularly mind whether a nomination is commercial or wholly humanitarian as long as it does not close off collaborative learnings and transparency work I try to do with many others and other networks. The bigger the challenge the better as long as you know some of your time/passion will compound around its action learning curve. I have been piloting a rough idea which I call MyWorldAtlas that I can illustrate better to show how to iteratively connect around a context, but I would need to hear or rehearse with you what the deepest context you are interested in from where you observe and experience life and sustainable value development. One reason why big actually helps me is that I mail coordinators of powerful networks with expressions of interest of people I link with giving them a menu which test out whether their network is actually up for action. One example of a target I want to test over the next 6 weeks is (3) clintonglobalinitiative.com - I get to hear of a new one of these almost monthly, and whilst I expect 11 out of 12 won't listen, (4) At Interlocal I later publish the gist of the letters I wrote and so discover who is prepared to work all the way with the people everyplace and who is just in a summit world of their own kind any players? chris macrae , wcbn007@easynet.co.uk - London & Washington DC, Project30000

Can we simultaneously learn from New Orleans, 77/7, Tsunami, 9/11...? We profile New Orleans here because it may have the most learning loops all the way down from superpower to communities whose fragility may be cause by nature's extremities on man's more selfish divides compounded over many periods of government. In most situations, we have local disaster clubs continuing action learning and regeneration from their epicentre of crisis- ask wcbn007@easynet.co.uk if you want or can help guiding transparent learning from these situations. Thanks

Sep 16, 2005 — President Bush said Friday that the Gulf Coast must be rebuilt with an eye toward wiping out the persistent poverty and racial injustice plain to all in the suffering of the black and the poor in Hurricane Katrina's wake.

"As we clear away the debris of a hurricane, let us also clear away the legacy of inequality," Bush said during a national prayer service with other political leaders and religious figures from the affected region at the National Cathedral."

Also Friday, White House officials said that taxpayers will pay the bill for the massive reconstruction program for the hurricane ravaged-Gulf Coast and that the huge expense will worsen the nation's budget deficit.

Before Bush's remarks, Bishop T.D. Jakes, head of 30,000-member Potter's House church in Dallas, delivered a powerful sermon in which he called upon Americans to "dare to discuss the unmentionable issues that confront us" and to not rest until the poor are raised to an acceptable living standard.

"Katrina, perhaps, she has done something to this nation that needed to be done," Jakes said. "We can no longer be a nation that overlooks the poor and the suffering, that continues past the ghetto on our way to the Mardi Gras."

Bush, faced with continuing questions about whether help would have been sent more quickly to the storm zone if most victims had not been poor and black, echoed those themes in his brief remarks.

"Some of the greatest hardships fell upon citizens already facing lives of struggle, the elderly, the vulnerable and the poor," he said. "As we rebuild homes and businesses, we will renew our promise as a land of equality and decency and one day Americans will look back at the response to Hurricane Katrina and say that our country grew not only in prosperity but in character and justice."

vt says- lets make as start with some Washington DC cafe circles (and share ideas across other cities like London &...) discussing these intents and also survey what are the most valued humanity networks that invite volunteers to activate thier joint concerns

The Washington Post of Sept 11 carried a complete calendar of breakdowns between all major organisations in the first 2 weeks of Katrina's disaster. Even more clearly than the tragedy 4 years earlier, this shows how the prosperity of human beings everywhere is declining unless we can learn to value transparency as the new vital dynamic of our networked globe and communities everywhere.

What if we explore governing America transparently: as a network of states where people's cultures flourish- we feel that a more human way can be found of sustaining states like Louisiana and cities like New Orleans than today's short-term power-brokering. We have a dream perhaps, but backed up by networking economics we began work on in 1984 that cherishes community-up transparency and enabling people to make a difference and seeks to resolve conflicts of sustainability systemically ahead of time. If this might be a discussion group you want to be in join our egroup valuationUSA here.

In our networked worlds and interlinking economies & societies 1 2 3 4 5, over-reliance on one system’s command and controls is every being’s greatest risk.

What do New York, New Orleans, Phuket Island, London, Baghdad & Various African States have in common? Were they one-offs or will their compound root causes recur in other cities (or geographically people-tied places)?

Quite simply, we can see that all these geographies of citizen networks (aka societies) were devastated by terrifying acts of man or nature. Some unprepared for a single destructive stroke, many degraded by compounding distrust or short-term monetisation.

Analyse these system crises more deeply for common patterns - and warn yourself by asking would you want your family's future to rely solely on 20th C -pre-networked, pre-global&local - ideologies like these:

National governance – much more local contextual resilience is needed

Nightline, ABC Sept 1: To hear federal & local authorities discuss the plight of New Orleans today is to know that one is seriously out of touch or incapable of confronting the truth

Left versus right short-term constitutions of voting and mass media soundbiting – investment decisions that truly could have saved or ameliorated situations were long-term, structural ; not just about money but deeper human relations investments such as trust in human cooperation, open spaces and learning curves of social capital, cultural harmony and trust as money.

Valuing global corporations' future impacts separately from local societies- any state that perpetuates this governance error will depressingly make globalisation less & less human

Blocking Interlocal exchanges of learning across networks that go beyond national or other geographical boundaries- for example, as human beings are composed mainly of water, we should demand education about whole system learnings to do with water and climate ecologies. Make sure these go beyond nations and other geographical boundaries-indeed when a network of systems times systems sustains the overall value or health being compounded over time, boundary separation is like any other apartheid the area of greatest human risk.

Ignoring nature's cultural order: healthy society is a necessary condition for compounding strong economic growth and sustaining learning cultures, not vice versa

New Orleans: Anarchy hits US storm relief
==============================

The news out of New Orleans is getting harder to believe every hour. The world's only superpower seems to have lost control of the situation. Thousands of people are still stranded without food, water or medicine. Tens of thousands more homeless.

Lawlessness is spreading around the city with police and national guard trying to control things but ambulances and rescue helicopters have been shot at by armed thugs. Those stranded at centres like the sports stadium are in appalling conditions with grim sanitation and supplies. There are attempts to get a few thousand people a day out of the city as the Mayor has ordered the forced evacuation of everyone, but it is pitifully slow and the people have little or nothing to go to. As for the bodies - there is still no reliable estimate of those dead. But now the Mayor and a senator have put it in the thousands.

People are starting to ask whether or not the warning and evacuation was mishandled. If people are being forced to leave now then why not at the weekend before Katrina struck? And there are increasing voices emerging about the warnings that were ignored.

Federal funds were denied to strengthen the levees. Was America so obsessed with fighting terror that it forgot what homeland security really means? And does the demographic breakdown of those worst hit - predominantly poor and black have anything to do with how little was done to help them?

It is worth noting that George Bush's new chief of Homeland Security was out launching September as National Preparedness Month. You couldn't make it up. --------------------
Sept 1 New Orleans mayor speaking on radio: I've spoken to them all from George Bush down. I keep hearing help is coming- this is BullShit man, I ask where’s the beef? We need Greyhound Buses form everywhere, they offer a few school buses. There's too much small thinking- I am saying this may the biggest catastrophe ever seen in a modern American city. Let me tell you there is one John Wayne character I trust a General Honore. He's the one gift the nation's top has sent us. I want him to have all the operating authority, then we could perhaps save some people.

How Societies Choose to Fail or Survive

"It is seldom, in the modern day, that one comes across a book with an impact like 'Collapse - how societies choose to fail or survive', by Jared Diamond (an Allen Lane imprint of Penguin books, 2005. HBK ISBN 0-713-99286-7; PBK ISBN 0-713-99862-8). Diamond combines the most rigorous research with a light and engaging writing style that turns this potentially weighty topic into an informative and delightful read. He charts the lessons of past societies such as those of the Easter, Pitcairn and Henderson Islands, the Maya, the Vikings in Greenland, and Papua New Guinea. He contrasts these with modern experiences in Montana (USA), Rwanda, Haiti, China, and Australia. Diamond then provides a compelling synthesis and puts forward practical suggestions as to what governments, corporations and individuals can do to learn from the past and thereby endeavour to secure the best possible future for our world. I thoroughly recommend this book as a thought-provoking read".

Tales of 2 Cities

New Orleans News Wires (Several links require free registration to Boston Globe) Katrina's death toll will be way above 9/11 Sept 2 CNN news : Unconfirmed 100 perish in one place while 1500 wait to be bussed-Governor of Louisiana broadcasts today's biggest question: what can we do when network of civilisation falls apart? Journalists report reaching places days before National Guards, Red Cross & Other Resources on US Homeland Security. Convention centre testimony: there is genocide going on around here. Journalist: authorities are using responses designed for the aftermath of a terrorism attack and finding that response needed to a natural catastrophe is wholly different. From catastrophe to chaos: Gunfire, corpses left in the open, and a slow exodus out Analysis: Politicians failed storm victims Katrina will have broad economic reach Foreign governments line up to help after Katrina Miss. struggles to deal with dead bodies New Orleans doctors plead for help Congress to vote on $10B Katrina package Americans open homes to refugees Senate approves $10.5B in hurricane aid Gasoline supplies tighten, prices rise Fats Domino apparently rescued by boat Sewage in floodwaters carries disease From web report of B Kirkman:issues that led to the tragedy in New Orleans will become apparent: 1. After 9/11 the Federal Emergency Management Agency shifted from 75% of its efforts being focused on natural disaster planning, preparation and drills to 75% being terrorism event reaction grants administration and terrorism event planning and preparation. Despite what one might think, there is little overlap between the two kinds of events. There has been a major departure of experienced FEMA managers with knowledge in natural disasters due to the focus on terrorism, and their replacement by terrorism experts. 2. All across the US there is a terrible lack of coordination in issues related to flood control projects between the Federal, state and local government. There is also a lack of coordination between the construction of projects and their day-to-day operational management. In particular, in Louisiana is up to local officials to decide if volunteers will be recruited to stay in flood control stations when major storms approach, at the risk of of the volunteers dying if the stations are destroyed. New Orleans did not ask for such volunteers. Adjoining suburban areas did. The volunteers in adjoining areas were able to activate back-up generators and keep pumps working that helped to avoid catastrophic flooding in the suburbs. In New Orleans the stations were unmanned. The power went out -> the pumps went off ... 3. There had been proposals for over 20 years to build stronger flood control stations and barriers in the New Orleans area. It was not supported by short-term taxation logics. 4. The evacuation plans were all designed on individuals and families driving their own cars out of New Orleans. No consideration was made for the approximately 20% of the city that was dependent on public transportation. No one with knowledge of public transportation usage was involved in designing the evacuation plan until it was very late.

In 2002, The New Orleans Times featured a 5-part award winning series written by John McQuaid & other journalists: Surging water is a huge threat to New Orleans. The Red Cross says that there will be a very high death toll if a levee breaks unless all citizens are evacuated in time- something more than likely if a category 4 hurricane hits New Orleans directly. Update CNN Sept 2 interview with McQuaid: the response we needed to this problem requires sustained attention and investment from every level of authority. Clearly that response was not achieved within the 3 years since this report.
