I am proposing to trial 2 sigs I feel most passionately about, starting early september (before which time I am offline visiting family the other side of the world). The idea of a sig is that anyone can join and we regularly report back any progress to the larger virtual community you joined from but we use direct email circulation among the sig to see if we can fast forward project progress. People can drop out if we are not turning talk into action fast or trustworthily enough for their time budgets.
OPENING 1 4 Hemisphere Citizen Dialogues I am passionate about 4 hemisphere dialogues between citizens. Coming from London http://futureoflondon.blogspot.com , friends and I see our place testing the future of all open multicultural cities. To join this group, you should want to debate some deepest diverse beliefs across cities and exoplore that ending terror and ending poverty are part of the same grasroots up need if globalsiation is to sustain people at every locality. We the people, not just governments over us, will need to rebuild trust and inclusivity through our cities and across boundaries of nations -eg http://www.simpol.org is one coherent space ten years in the preparing for seeing why national or city politicians can never compound all our needs transparently enough. Personally, I have enough contacts to start a 4-way dialogue between reconciliation networkers in London, DC, Delhi, Melbourne. Which cities can you linkin to 4 Hemsipheres? OPENING 2 http://economicstimes.blogpost.com - The economics of the world's largest organisations is bust going on terrifying. This was the dismal scenario of 2 we have been tracking on globalsiation since 1984 http://www.normanmacrae.com/netfuture.html Global corporate economics as is:loses purpose, destroys trust needed for knowledgeable service relationships, screws up transparency at borders vital to network transparency, uses hi-cost global media to lose touch with local reality, and never audits emerging conflicts in enough time to reconcile them. The maths and open governace maps are available open source to simultaneously cure many of the 1000 largest organisations currently profiting from putting people at risk. Cluster appraoches like Tomorrows Global Company http://www.tomorrowscompany.com need planting anywhere this SIG can reach. Chris Macrae, wcbn...@easynet.co.uk , www.valuetrue.com I realise this invitation may need smartening up but personally wish to see - and help reherase - many more sig invitations directed at patterns of chnage we simultaneouly need to reconcile from many localities and with the faith of many expertises. --------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through http://www.easynetdial.co.uk * * ========================================================== osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist
