When the Bottom Line Is Ending Poverty BusinessWeek - Feb 29, 2008
While Gandhi's goal was the end of colonialism, Yunus' is just as grand: He means to reform capitalism to make it a tool for ending poverty

This blog invites anyone with a social ABC meeting or project to name it once. Please explain its locations, give it your own refernce number -eg macrae 2 if it was the 2nd project I had blogged. Please update it within its first post space that way we can content catalogue once and for all knowing that there will be no loss of bookmarking continuity

THE COOPERATION, a hub in London, Fall: After a dismal year, including 7/7 bombings and 500 NGOs failing to connect hundreds of thousands of citizens who turned up to their events hoping to be shown ways to linkin to Making Poverty History, and finally turning round much of Africa's ever less sustainably resourced place to be a child:

40 Londoners pledged that each had a system critical crisis whose lack of sustainability needed to start turning around by end of 2011 at latest. On 1 Jan 2012, we would review whether we felt there was enough reason for public media to celebrate olympics instead of investigating sustainability crises. By 2008, very little has changed in term of mass media coverage of grassroots questions and solutions of the most vital kind all of childrens and human worlds. However Muhammad Yunus has come up with a simple social ABC meta-network of dialogues, Actions, Purpose-compounding business models, co-creative capitalism changes from lose-lose-lose to win-win-win global that we collaboration agents in 2005 were dreamng for.

Intercity Communal Projects Committed

008.2 Structuring 100 youtube videos primarily of 2 minute yunus stories that peer to peer debates can use to help change mindsets - bigger goal to evolve an SmBA correspondence course so that every city has as many SmBA as MBA; work on 40 slides of social ABC that can modularly reused for virtual free use as well as mentoring projects such as http://universityofstars.tv/

008.1 Rumors of What's Possible http://rowp.tv/ when right action, people, time and place flow together -finding http://wholeplanet.tv/ the stories to www (win-win-win) with most local to global impact in celebrating humanity

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.

APRIL
Start qualifying modular scripts on system and mindset change for approval of yunus smba http://smbaworld.com - after French book launch President Sarkozi ordered France's leading business school HEC to get weaving an SMBA

Develop http://egrameen.com/ ahead of 10000 rural Grameen telecentres coming online and starting the deeepest solutions debates intially around 5 deep trust maps beyond e-finance: e-healthcare, e-agriculture including energy, e-education, e-government, e-consumer good (channels)

Debate how to connect with World Entrepreneur Summit WES08 Kenya may

macrae 2 -pledge (location - virtual)

- I pledge to ask Dhaka this sort of question until we have clarified an answer- if anyone else wants to join the same question, or add very limited extra legends (ie we cannt ask Dhaka to do something that becoems a ton of work) then please comment

Is there a bookmark with an updating map of Yunus networks and Capitalism's new world?

There could be several legends to post up including:
Location of official Grameen organisations -eg Grameen America, Grameen Foundation not to mention Grameen Dhaka!

Locations of world portals to Yunus knowledge or annual summits such as microcreditsummit.org

Locations of multinational social businesses 1

Opinion leaders whose news and cheerleading of Yunus initiatives has particular national or change world significance

Citizens supporters groups including microcredit clubs or Yunus Forums or bookclub1000 for Social Action*Business*Capitalism

Places where the first person in the world was served a solution that has now been replicated communally millions of times

Being able to show anyonne how deeply interconnecting the world of YUnUS is evolving would be of inspirational significance whereve humans with a purpose search to win-win-win

dec 25: Surprise present - request from Dr Yunus to see him in Dhaka in first week of new year to discuss what bokclub networking can connect as well as the first year of planning of Yunus Forum 1000 in London led by Mostofa Zaman and Sofia Bustamante
