USA 301 881 1655
Team leaders of LondonCreativeLabs and DCCreativelabs wish to make plans to join your celebrations on 26 Feb- we see the opening of the first Yunus University partnership in USA
as exceptionally good news. I write to ask how we can help, and to share some details of the connections we have been making
over the last 3 years so you can evaluate possible synergies.
Additionally
if the best way to optimise collaboration is for me to make a half-day exploration visit to CSUCI in January please say.
There are at least 4 other LA region connections my first quarter diary
needs to progress:
1 the social business clubs being formed
around the bonsai movie http://bonsaimovie.com/ as one of the social business ventures of the global summit http://www.theglobalsummit.org/ . The two LA womens group founders/facilitators of these networks are treasured
friends of mine.
2 connections with the LA based green
children pop group http://thegreenchildren.orgwho fund raised $1 mn for 2 aravind replications and have an online
fan base of about 10000 youth
3 connections with Heath Row who early
last decade used to run over 100 intercity clubs www sharing social capital knowledge connected with the then massive popular
fast company magazine- you may have spotted that (Melissa’s at Robert Smith Business school and) my friend Alan Webber
http://blogs.usatoday.com/oped/2008/05/giving-the-poor.html#more who founded Fast Company compered Wolfsburg; while Alan is San Francisco based , Heath Row is now working for google
in LA
4 Rick Wartzman at Drucker Institute Claremont who hosted
yunus booktalk LA january 2008 (claremont students are one of the 2 most active at http://www.mficonnect.com/ which started at grameen america with a different name)
(Collaboration
California is also important to me as my first job was in computer assisted learning for the UK National Dev Project in the

fans and my history with Dr Yunus
In Dec 2006 we joined the first social action
team of social business- at that time it was configured around 2 official projects of Yunus involving Bangladeshi expatriates
co-led my mostofa zaman : 1) muhamadyunus.org fan web, 2) start yunus forum network meetings in large capital cities
as well as thegreenchildren pop group which had emerged from Paul Mcartney's Pop school in Liverpool.
http://londoncreativelabs.comSofia’s interests integrate system design, reconciliation facilitation, community building particularly
that impacting youth and job creation. Nobody is more networked in london since her work over thedecade includes facilitation many of the annual get-together
of London’s top 50 social action organizations
and hubs .
leaders and youth ambassador 5000 quest yunus 69th birthday
1000 bookclub2.0 –publisher
will get me galley copy of this march 2010
We have met yunus 12 times since start of 2008 and dad hosted his main
london luncheon at the Royal Automobile Club during his book feb 2008 tour
One reason for doing this is that since 1976 my work as a maths distills
the largest surveys done on global markets into interactive manager games another reason is dad coined collaboration entrepreneur
quest for global network age sustainability in trilogy of articles in The Economist 1976-1984 http://www.normanmacrae.com/netfuture.html . The result of the first reason is CP12 game (see right); the result of the second is the belief
that only entrepreneur networks gravitated by yunus are the world's and 2010 generation's last chance of transforming
round to a sustainable planet
Mathematically, economically and socially, globalisation’s first
quarter century of lose-lose-lose measurement professions, media systems, geographically unnatural nation borders are unsustainable.
Since 2005, inspired by a Gandhian and Medical global summit in Delhi the week before the tsunami and itself emerging from
the need to unite citizens after 9/11 and 7/7 where a great community building friend of mine was killed http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/4741333.stm , we have been inviting Londoners to connect together a 2012 festival through
which microeconomics and sustainability win out over macroeconomics and exponentially falling systems of climate , banking
http://yunusforum.net/?p=80 , media, education and healthcare. So we know how to help yunus stage a social business festivals
during the london
Olympics. For example Paul Rose bbc correspondent for nature blogged this http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8130130.stmfrom 69th birthday dialogue that sofia facilitated for dr yunus and is connecting royal and
other sustainability prize networks.
Our 2010 collaboration diary
CP12 Sustainability Games
We have synthesized
feedback from thousands of people in our yunus book and dvd club into 12 Collaboration Partnership dimensions each of which
can multiply each other's value
We expect to have an early version of a gameboard connecting these 12 sources and any sustainability challenge a club chooses.
Typical ones uniting many yunus clubs are:
1 How to end nurseless villages
2 How youth and tech
can create a billion jobs in 2010s
3 How to turn a world stage like london Olympics into a social business good news festival
We would like to share this with you in case it
can make the basis of a student business game particularly when mixed with the student club format collaboration cafe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9nL_a0K97I ;
We also have written up the microeconomics of about 50 social business cases between 1976 and 2005 which include
10 hours of interview transcripst we made with yunus leadership team July 2008 during the week Nobel was opening their museum
and celebrating with 1000 Bangladeshi youth. Our other main source is sam daley harris founder of http://microcreditsummit.org. I believe that between 1997- 2008 this was a world above anything else as most
interesting network and meeting process that open source humanity has yet designed.
Somehow collaboration entrepreneurs need
to blend its history with yunus future wishes for global social business summits. April’s microcreditsummit out of kenya which has youth mobile microcredit
www.jamiibora.organd queen sofia in spain's 2011 world microcreditsummit (madrid) commitment to cross-fertilize
southern hemisphere social business understanding make for job creation, end poverty and community building dynamics
to keep interconnecting.
I aim to help cross-fertlise yunus centres where this is mutually desired. I was in Glasgow when Yunus created the nursing and grameen bank centre there. I am interviewing people
at HEC in a fortnight thanks to an invite to join
in from Asian Institute of Technology’s Borje Walberg. As you also know I am searching of for an East CoastUniversity that could compliment your work.
I spent about 25 days of the last year researching east coast student clubs and annual
social enterprise events as background for the youth ambassador 5000 project which mostofa leads.http://yunusforum.net/?page_id=39

Sustainability's heroines and heroes - Yunus, Ralph Nader, Heather Booth, Nomi Prins, Miles R ....Who have you ever met in DC to talk about banks that are too big to exist? I don't believe we have a system of government
for people when it lets banks gamble up to 20 trillion dollars away at a housing casino once - as for twice that
is beyond any idea of economics that scots have ever mapped
DCCL is an example of Transcapital Creative Labs - a peoples movement started by sofia bustamante in london after visiting
dhaka to facilitate dr yunus 69th birthday dialogue (june 2009)
Major questions that all creative labs ask and share
creativity on are:
How can our citizens create and sustain jobs
How can we take back local banks small
enough to invest in our productivity and sustainability exponentials rising out of generating communities
How
do we return local marketplaces as exchanges where people empower local services where they are most needed
At
the same time the worldwide nature of DCcreativelabs permits people to ask each other’s citizens what are the most human
solutions to the world your city uniquely can offer or what are the greatest crises in your city that you would like to hear
of other way round solutions to that people have entrepreneurially tested the sustainability of in other parts of the world
We
commend you to go to the source website http://www.londoncreativelabs.com for details on global progress being made by citizens groups – at this web we
will focus mainly on dc specific Q&A starting with how to reform congress who thinks that giving 20 trillion dollars back
to the same managers that wasted $20 trillion is good governance for and by the people

Message mainly to anne jubert, co-founder of EU knowledgeboard.com
Anne I am in paris for 48 hours from Wednesday 2pm to Friday 11am Should we meet? Best for me is Wednesday or beginning or end of Thursday. If so either email me or
if I don’t confirm seeing your mail please leave message at my hotel phone 33-1-46342650 fax 46346618 (2 rue racine

across knowledgeboard communities for 3 years and encouraging some of the real connecting events including huge open space
meets and intercity collaboration cafes which george helped us to found and which are now 100 social action agendas old, I
was thrown out by those who interpret km as about machines replacing people This was never what drucker or my father intended – 2 or the earliest to debate whether the network
age would sustain or end us all (big brother scenario). My main work today shares Bangladeshi micro intelligence and collaboration
system designs with any network that is resolving substantiality conflicts. This intelligence is cheerled by nobel laureate
Muhammad yunus
Message to all It happens that dr yunus has inspired up to start creating a panel process
in london. The goal is to host sustainability debates and events simultaneous to the 2012 Olympics so that ultimately all
the media that comes for the spectator sports gets sucked into this decade’s greatest action games – how do retrieve
sustainability. Climate maters as much as anything to Bangladesh as its like the first 100 million nation to be washed away
if we compound conflicts with nature for anther decade.We’d love to know what welcoming
panels london should form – each panel being responsible for their type of sustainability challenges, deadlines and
solutions. We’d love panels to have worldwide opinion heads cheering them on. And of course anything we learn about
this peoples process wewill share with any other citizen group who finds their city suddenly centre of
world news.
If you are interested in
the pamnel process for london or other cities with great moments in the 2010s I would suggest starting a conversation with
sofia for london olympics or saskia for worldwide events.
Sofia facilitated dr yunus 69th birthday dialogue of dr yunus in dhaka,
and is appointed to connect londoners. Saskia is at http://www.grameencl.com the worldwide events arm of dr yunus that just had a lot of sustainability fun at berlin’s

Subject: Invitation to become a member of the World-Citizen
Panels on Climate Protection, a large-scale experiment in collective intelligence
Dear
All,
Would you like to be part of a unique experiment and learning process – developing the necessary collective
intelligence to be able to effectively address the present climate crisis and other equally important and world-threatening
global issues?
We are launching this experiment with a workshop (Dec 10, repeated on Dec 11) in the Survival Academy
that goes parallel with the Copenhagen Conference on Climate Change, as part of its People’s Summit. If you are in Copenhagen,
please join there my friends Leo Burke and Carolyn Lee who will facilitate the workshop. You can register for the workshop,
here: http://survivalacademy.ning.com/events/acting-together-at-the-root-of .
The workshop will also mark
the launch of the World-Citizen Panels initiative. If you can’t go to the workshop, you can participate virtually, here:
http://attherootoftheclimatecrisis.ning.com/ . If you already have a Ning account, you can use it to Sign in. If not, please
choose the ‘Sign up” option on the registration page.
Here are some of the powerful questions that
lie behind this initiative, which we will tackle online:
Relating to the Climate Crisis: How can we understand
and act on the deep roots of the climate crisis, without ourselves having to be experts in science, politics, and economics?
What are the systems in play that the root of the climate crisis? And what are the potential consequences of a ‘green
New Deal’?
Relating to the Environmental Crisis: It is clear how consumption affects the environment.
How does debt affect the environment too?
Relating to the transition to a new civilization: What is the operating
system for a new civilization that is based on the principle of prior unity?
It promises to be a fascinating learning
journey in raising large-scale collective intelligence and wisdom. I hope to meet you on the road.

I went to my third of Nomi Prins booktalks last night. The extraordinary decent (if

bermuda revision
Pittsburgh Post Gazette - Tony Norman - 7 hours ago
Ralph
Nader has been the victim of more playa' hatin' than just about any figure in contemporary American politics. ...
last
evening there was a clear consensus that obama on his own can’t turn round wall street –marooned by Geitner-types,
and a congress spun by vicious mass media and lobbyist monies which is now arguably the least sustainable institution of government
in any so-called democratic nation
During the several
spring events demos co-hosted I ask robert kuttner how long he gave obama before we needed plan B ; he said end June;
clearly we have overshot the time for people to assume that obama can do what Krugman and others say is mathematical common

Remembering James Wilson: Founder of the Economist and Standard
Chartered bank
KOLKATA: The high priest of Indian taxation, in fact of finance for that matter,
is a forgotten man today on his 150th death anniversary. For
someone
who also founded The Economist and what is today the Standard Chartered Bank, few know that he lies in a cold grave in a corner
of the Mullickbazar Cemetery in Calcutta. His name: James Wilson. A Scotsman who was born in Hawick, a small border town in
Scotland in 1805.
Wilson arrived in India on November 28, 1859. He was appointed finance member in Viceroy Lord
Canning's council in undivided India. The Indian Mutiny had just exploded in 1857. The country was in a precarious state financially.
"Wilson was posted in Calcutta as member (finance) in the Viceroy's council which is equivalent to the finance
minister in those days," says Chandra Prakash Bhatia, assistant commissioner of income tax who was posted in Calcutta
in 2007. But, that's not where Bhatia's ambit ends. His passion is to research into the financial history of India.
And, that's exactly how he unravelled that a man named James Wilson, after taking over his assignment in India, had introduced
a Bill in the Indian Legislature to restructure tariff laws. Not just that, Wilson's statements threw open a revolutionary
chapter in the country's financial history.
"While he also introduced the budgetary system and paper currency,
he stood out for floating the Income Tax Act in India. Wilson died in Calcutta from dysentery after living for just 8-9 months
in Calcutta at the relatively young age of 55," reminisces Bhatia, in an exclusive chat with ET.
Bhatia's
work has obviously been painstaking. He leafed through a slew of textual material and frequented the National Library. At
the National Libary, he discovered The Calcutta Gazette dated Sunday, August 12, 1860, which read: "The Right Honorable
James Wilson, Fourth Ordinary Member of the Council of the Governor General died yesterday at seven o'clock in the evening.....His
Excellency in Council has directed the Flag of Fort William to be lowered to half-mast high during this day, and that fifteen
Minute Guns be fired at the time of the funeral from the Ramparts of Fort William."
