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.

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? http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=5475184122

But the best truth about collaboration knowledge cities http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%2Bknowledge+%2Bcollaboration+%2Bcity&btnG=Google+Search in the 5 years that I have been searching the peoples and communities that weave them is that if any city does a great job in turning round a beter Global with Yunus we can all learn from what it did and work out how to invite the 1000 most relevant citizens when Yunus passes your way. http://grameen.tv/

To celebrate today's start of the Social Entrepreneur World Championships (University of Oxford hosted by Skoll Foundation) we are starting a survey and campign for the inauguration of social entrepreneur olympics. Why should the deep pursuits of social entrepreneurs get any less media coverage than sports? Which SE arenas are you most excited by? Where do you get a chance to spread the word on how humanity's future depends on these greatest of all collaboration games? Do mail us at wcbn007@easynet.co.uk if you want any help in starting up a dialogue script on this (we're into our 22nd year of making connections)

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

GENERAL WELCOME
Comment ca va?

In all, all the world, Canada is a most interesting outlier in 2 dynamics of cultural integration that networks I belong to can guide your round. Mapmakers might call these clues:
1) humanly conscientious world trade stories of geographically distant countries,
2) being valuably adapted to the service society revolution which will make or break the 21st century’s networked globe.

Our mapmaking qualifications to discuss
1) come from a death of distance future history that my father and I co-authored 22 years ago- and have been debating at roundtables, blogs and cafes, any open village network ever since
2) the preneurial revolutionary waves my father suggested world and community leaders start studying 30 years ago in the survey of Entrepreneurial Revolution published in The Economist. This survey quite literally involved a swan song* of what we might best learn about innovation during the industrial age economics before moving through intrapreneurial revolutions of service economy and then the third and greatest wave to test human beings consciousness of system*system interconnections –what mapmakers dramatise by demanding a peoples economics of globalisation fit for sustaining social ecologies and transparent world trades of sufficient cross-bored transparency top integrate and sustain 2 million global villages. (*The original Entrepreneurial survey suggested that leaders be prepared to visualise up to 10 green bottles of conventionally systemised wisdom and enjoy smashing them simultaneously so that entrepreneurs could be planted everywhere. Leaders enjoyed the ten green bottle song if not the surgeries this would call for to if management professions were to globalise truly and fairly – ask Romano Prodi about the Entrpreneurial Party which Italy’s business leaders of the late 1970s and he (as Italian translator of ER) convened with my father in a swank Venetian hotel. )

WELCOME FOR THOSE ON DAY 2 OR AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 CULTURES
Canada is the great death of distance country of the North West hemispheres in much the same way as we will see that Australia is of the South & East hemispheres.

First, one connection with Portugal whose cultural seeding of Brazil we briefly mentioned in yesterday’s tour. If you rotated Europe clockwise by 90 degrees then Portugal would be on top, much as Canada is on top of Americas. However as the history of Portugal will tell you, being at one end of a continental world requires an incredible amount of patience. The only way you can get to Portugal by land is through Spain, a country (itself very heterogeneous) but with very opposite histories to Portugal – so much so that until recently Portugal was the only time-zone rebel to Spain and Europe adopting English standard time. Portugal’s world of trade being with Britain around Port, and sunshine holidays; with Brazil, and with the rest of Europe not much at all apart from the strange blessing of cork that both the French and Italians used to need to celebrate their love of wine.

I have not studied Canada’s patterns of world trade, but there does seem to be deep cultural value in exploring the extent to which the USA is Canada’s Spain. Canada has very different consciences of world trade than USA as can be seen in:

The way that the excesses of global brand imagery were punctured by Naomi Klein No Logo school of reality marketing – how do you live and learn the trust your global identity seems to interact locally (as opposite a school of branding as Japanese quality marketing used to be to America’s)

The transparent demands of the networked generation which Don Tapscott has researched more deeply than any other practice school known to me. This also connects with what the most mobile of Canadian you want from the future in similar ways to Australian youth who do not think of settling down until they have seen the world from the backpacker’s view of connecting through cultures not the packaged American tourist abroad.

The extraordinary documentary schools on global-local economics particularly industrial revolution crises in S America and Canada’s most popular ever documentary The Corporation in which a scholar of law, Joel Bakan, writes the script of how big corporate governance can never sustain true and uniquely productive purpose if it seeks to compound trade between several sides by always favouring one side’s interests in serial and separately quarterised accounting. This connects with Tapscott’s transparency to explain why McMaster world congresses on Intellectual and other Capitals (Human, Social etc) always animated a very human view of Knowledge management in ways that neither the USA nor the European Union valued. This also connects with different views of virtual community of practice which we will come back to but first a deep cultural interlude.

Culture students may want to take atimeout to imagine mixing English and French languages. In English almost every verb assumes the subject is transactioning the object’s response. In French, verbs decline so that much more of a two way looping of systemic relationship connections is linguistically pictured. In English everything apart from man or woman is neutered whereas in French every word interacts a male or female character. Canada has of course had to patiently reconcile the oppositions of English kingdom and French Liberte (freedom) internally over time, whereas USA threw out one but then had no triangle of checks and balances as big business sectors and their lawyers and lobbyists compounded constitutional superpower. The economic ability to debate what democracy of society is as we pass through various learning revolutions of networking can be seen if we consider the 30 year peoples economics timeline of where Entrepreneurial Research started in 1976 and where it is today. Click here for a fuller story.

A mapmaker's topline commentary is that there is a revolutionary difference in valuation and organisational governance of purposeful systems of productive and demanding relationship between:

Integrating industrial economy within service economy – the Entrepreurial to Intrapreneurial bridge

Integrating these 2 economies with the service societies of networking 2 million global villages – the difference between economics of separability and network’s pervasive connectivity

The crucial resolution between product and service economy maps round the difference of products offered as lifeless things and services delivered by living people. The franchise model is pivotal to the service economy but there are both Intrapreneurial and non-intrapreneurial executions. Both models start by perfecting a service offer in one place and then seeking to replicate it through parallel teams wjherever locations demand it. However in the intrapreneurial model – management changes to support the emotional intelligent energies of the people delivering the offer 24/7. That management reengineering has to be done before decidinbg how technology can be designed to support the people teams. Intangible valuation flows need to be governed and systmically served as wholly interconnecting, not separable in the way that tangible accounting maths assumes. As one example pshycholgical research has proved across sectors – in a service business the customer knows how the boss treats the emeployee by the way the employee treats the customer. If that is a revolutionary leap to govern and practice corporately then service society maps of preneurs may seem to be on a different planet from the 20th C business world. We start the same way by perfecting a project franchise in one place but now we open source and give away how to do it to those societies that most desperately need it. We can still make money but now by collaboratively training and multiplying learning through in-between societies’ franchise adaptations having all the culturally nuanced understandings of franchise adaptations to different but network connected desperate societal needs.

It is this networking open source preneurial revolutions that Canada has examples of world leadership in. The best advice I can give you is something London’s 5 main villages to the world came to through experience. If you come across a Canadian preneur travelling the world with what she or he believes to be a societal innovation which can multiply value locally to globally, listen top it very carefully. One case in point is photosynthetic energy, and the architecture networks that Canadian Rick Nelson leads and omniworldview is the primary aSIN broker of. Perhaps because Canadians have relatively little sun, their architectural schools have for decades been interested in making the most of this. They have been living our 1984 script that photosynthesis clean energy will need to take over from carbon’s dirty energy during the first quarter of the 21st century if nature’s systems are going to permit 6 billion beings to enjoy more centuries.

I hope that we are clear that open source value multiplication connecting 2 million global vilages in harmonious inter-network trades and sustainable development will go way beyond offering the English language to the world for free or America’s lead in commercialising a programming language with free and pay for links. One example of this is the way that Canada has recently take the idea of a worldwide web jam to a new level of deep learning. Don’t worry what software platform you use. Just give people 72 hours to post in messages (permitting those in the world's deepest slums advance time to survey their members' views) from all over the world on one observational crisis – eg why slums in many cities across the world are compounding ever more extreme poverty as well as illnesses and potential terror cells. After 72 hours you will have the deepest most diverse web ever assembled on the crisis issue. Everyone can keep searching this, and better still next time experts summit on this issue the world will be ready to question them about any policy conclusions they come up with lest any of the global village learning connections have been forgotten or culturally mis-translated.
