My identity is irrelevant as far as I'm concerned. TSI, as an organisation, is still a foetus in the womb and I am the only person in the drivers seat, in the time that is given me when I'm not working or taking care of my family. Passengers seats are slowly filling up and some passengers have already taken roadmaps in different languages and are discussion on destination and routes is gradually emerging. In other words, the community of people who actively contribute to TSI and those who recognise and passively support TSI is growing. TSI is gaining momentum as an internet community . bottom-up, stakeholder driven and technology pushed. Check out the file available at our Google Groups named 'TSI's Communication Network'. Patience is our most important virtue.
Below the profile of The SHEW Initiative is presented: Our Identity and Mission: The SHEW Initiative envisions and pursues Sustainable Human and Ecological Well-being ... SHEW. Our Conviction: "Once aware of our common Destiny, Responsibility, Unity and Ability, we will be able to pursue SHEW!" Our Methodology: Sustainable Development of Sustainable Politics and Sustainable Science & Technology ... required to achieve SHEW Our Toolset: COmmon Sense of Mankind Organized for SHEW = COSMOS ... to provide the Sustainable Science & technology Push to The SHEW Initiative Our Action Force: People United for SHEW = PUSH ... a political movement, fed by TSI's COSMOS to actively engage in political processes all over the world to ensure proper (*) decision making processes on all relevant isSHEWs (* i.e.: sensitive, adaptive and robust enough to be fit for purpose) Our Expectations: We currently anticipate SHEW can be achieved through uniting global common sense and by world-wide engagement in existing political systems, aiming to gradually introduce establishment of a global governance system that is fit for purpose, i.e.: adaptive, sensitive and robust enough to support SHEW. This system is currently thought to be based on adaptive decision making processes, scientific rationale and a participatory democratic system using both people's individuals expertise and interest to optimize each persons democratic contribution through weighted voting. Our Communication Network: TSI's web site @ http://www.shew-init.2ya.com <http://www.shew-init.2ya.com/> Check out our emerging structured web based communication platforms: TSI - COSMOS @ Yahoo! : on the 'Why?' question w.r.t. TSI http://groups.yahoo.com/group/shew-init TSI - COSMOS @ Google : on the 'How?' http://groups-beta.google.com/group/shew-init TSI - PUSH @ Google : on the 'What?' http://groups-beta.google.com/group/push-init It's great to experience that so many gifted people join in a group like Global Change, knowing that they need no particular encouragement or affiliation to share their thoughts and views here. It would be even greater to ensure that mentioned input would be structured and utilized in relevant decision making processes . that is, to a greater extent and at a faster pace than what is usual in present day multiparty parliamentary democracies and comparable systems. I hope you are willing to consider to help 'us' (a broad concept) to achieve just that on behalf of the common interests in our common future.

Probably not, since you don't sign your name or otherwise let us know who you are (and who your organization is, in the event that it differs significantly from yourself). However I am happy to keep talking and thinking, and (for good or ill) I need no particular encouragement or affiliation to do that! mt --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Global Change ("globalchange") newsgroup.
