world be sustainable? Entrepreneurial Revolution was a trilogy of surveys completed 1984 by Britain's senior
economist for The Economist magazine. They demonstrated many cases of how and why future sustainability depended
on prioritising compound exponential metrics of governance above all other metrics that organisations are audited by. This
is the defing challenge shared by the world's first net-generation 1984-2024 http://normanmacrae.com/netfuture.html This collaboration cafe discusses open sourcing maps for sustainability investment and

Recently Londoners
(the most ranked city and freest village network
map befitting a place whose Queen dares to be first to broadcast the sustainability
crisis question: is Humanity turning
on itself?) in searches through tens of millions of bookmarks on collaboration knowledge city held our 50th collaboration cafe. Collaboration Cafe is designed by alumni of Harrison Owen's
Open Space (30 downloads for open space) but who only have
1 hour instead of 3 days to activist communal initiatives. Something has to give compared with open space parameters which
in the 3 say format can involve 5000 people (cafes have 15 max), anyone hosting a conversation they believe may resolve the
communal crisis the space invited participants to (the main host of a collaboration cafe is an authority that those who decided
to come most wanted to litsen to and practice with, ideally become open source alumni of); the invitation phase of the colaboration
cafe is give extra dramatic emphasis to try to ensure that the 15 people who most want to come in any social or susttainainability
entrepreneur network around London do.
In other words contact chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk
if you need to know more about collaboration cafe -how to open source as the unique format that can be used in any
collaboration city. Unlike world cafe formats, it preserves open space as its core design not other faciliation extras.
It tries to format correspondence around:
how do 10 people meet and best use 60 minutes of time to be guided through
one deep social challenge that has been nominated by London's change world networks eg 1 2 3 4 5 as critical to future sustainability
before and after we meet, how do we connect local and global networks concerned with this challenge
if
the person regarded as the world's most connected person in a particular world changers network is passing through London,
how do we assemble the 9 Londoners which it would be most productive for that perosn to give an hour's guiding time to
We are not saying we have a perfect cafe format yet, but the journey has been an interesting one so far. If you live
in another city and feel that you may want to be one of its collaboration cafe hosts, do mail me at chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk
, and I will try and share the practice gudielines we have learnt so far. They have bulit primarily on how do you reduce the
principles of Harrison Owen's 3-day open spaces to 1-hour because we believe these have a practical simplicity every meeting
format intended to connect all participants can learn from.
The rest of this page will review some of the questions
those who know an alumni of colaboration cafe London are now debating after 50 of the most extraordinary action learning experiences.
Here is part of a mail I sent out to the participants of Collaboration Cafe 1-50.
WHAT EXCITES ME MOST
ABOUT WORLD CHANGER ENTREPRENEURS
Start with 2 fascinating dynamics:
1 Once a world changer has demonstrably found a solution to a vital social good in one place, they usually want to
see it openly replicated interlocally wherever else it can do social good. . (This involves a peoples cross-cultural flow
– people building bridges for sustainability which top-down planning alone cannot)
2 Its typically the case
that world changers gain naturally from co-promoting each other. A wholly different way to market starting with reality, and
where over-bloated imagery of a leader is a disadvantage. (The goodwill gravities of World Changers like Bill Drayton, Muhammad
Yunus, Fazle Aded and Peter Eigen are close to 100% hi-trust reality and 0% puffery). Goodwill markets through hi-trust citizen’s
social networks, inspirational stories that turn out to be actionable by the people. So for examples here in London there
is a lot of synergy in my view between Muftah’s Omagine and Rick’s Solaroof, or between Tav’s green.tv where
local youth movements capture which social networks are celebrating sustainability changes and Sofia ’s co-mentoring
of how to connect the disconnected.
THE GOODWILL WAVES OF TIMES
When you look at these four of the greatest
world changer movement to have exponentially sustained in the last 30 years, they have in the last 12 months been rapidly
encouraged to find every way they value multiply each other by such West Coast Billionnaires as Jeff Skoll, the omidyars,
the founders of google, and hopefully Bill Gates who is funding Africa Progress Panel (now incorporating all of Make Poverty
History and Africa Commission 2005 and trying to transform the UN's Global Compact) as a grand experiment in rolling out transparency
as the social oil needed to advancing millennial rights. Moreover most of these world chnagers will be connecting together
for the first time in a high society place at the ned of this wek at http://www.clintonglobalinitative.com and Clinton is
ghost-editing a book social entrepreneurial activism http://www.clintonfoundation.org/051706-nr-cf-gn-cs-usa-pr-wjc-to-write-book-on-citizen-activism-and-service.htm
These 4 world citizen movements are fun to try and describe. So a very rough guide attempt for you to edit into your
own words:
4 Finance2.0 also known as Microfinance or banks for the poorest
3 Public service 2.0 for
the poorest by the people- BRAC in Bangladesh is the world benchmark; over the last 30 years it has identified (a menu of
about 100 connecting project franchises) you need to interconnect at the family and village levels to save the poorest children
and provide them basic education. A key secret is to empower people in the communities to do this rather than set up a profession
public service class above them
2 Transparency because neither of the above work sustainably if corruption or wars
are going to invade them

for world change – ashoka.org
KEY QUESTION
Is there some 5th networking-savvy colaboration movement
that people out of London can develop that could multiply all 4 of the above and then be replicable where other cities want
to sustain world changers?

Collaboration
Cafe 50 - guided by Muftah Benomran, London, 14 Sept 2006. This set the scene for all ages to grow up in a world
citizen century - where some of the greatest sustainability and peace building initiatives are emerging out of the
Middle East. Muftah updated his on the future history of the Qutopia project : now most likely to be reborn with a change
of brand destination, as the idea gets greater and greater for cross-cultural humanity every year that Cooperation

agendas we wish to air in London at this festival or very soon afterwards include these collated by our network origin The Cooperation, est oct 2005 at one of London's hubs and
whose 24 weeks of co-sponsored open spaces have been running summer long - see eg espians learning
newscentre for those who love children - as the first in a 5 year intercity program of events Passports to Sustainability.
London's main 008 events for Passports are being debated at the alumni network blog of Entrepreneurial
Revolutionaries which began in 1976 with the first of a trilogy of surveys published in The Economist written
by the UK's oldest people power economist and future
historyteller Norman Macrae 1 2
Debriefing from First 100 continues as does the popularising
of every method to trust map. What's the next goal that espians culture creatives want meta-colaboration designed around.
How do we ensure that wholet ruth entrepreneurial systems are never misvalued again. Is our
5 year intercitizen program Passports to Sustainability still on the up and up
|
After London's Collaboration Cafe 50 - we asked ourselves how could we ever beat
that? We have decided that its down to Londoners to develop a 5-year intercitizen round the world programme of meeting:
Passports to Sustainability. Huge events are
now being prepared for London's Spring Launch including the greenest building ever built for 100 people open space meetings
which will appear on the terrace of the Queen Elizabeth Concert Hall, South
Bank in time for a Spring Season of sustainability citizens debates. We invite citizens to plug
in their calandar of meetings where humanity's biggest Q&A are shared; it is our intent to return in the Spring of 2012
in time to celebrate London's Olympic year with far more cheerleading news for humanity than sport alone can score. Hopefully
the BBC as the world's largest public broadcaster will join in celebrating evry link to good news and sustainability innovations
that the round world of citizen meetings
explores and plants. OTHER COOPERATION
EXPERIMENTS We are inviting simultaneity founder John Bunzj and Carbon
Coach Dave Hampton to realsie Collaboration Cafe 51. We also thought that an invitation
to any network to deslgn a Sustainability Quotient Test worth co-creating around SQtest.tv - in this way we hope that we have opened space for Colaboration cafe 51 so that the people who some are London's
most deep networkers for simultaneous sustainability. Of course, if your collaboration knowledge city wants to do invite a similary challenged collaboration cafe,
their key hosts for climate crisis and simultaneity are welcome to join in the design of SQtests - email info@worldcitizentv subject cafe 51 Here is how www.sqtest.tv works 1.0 IF you wish to collaborate in SQtest choose your global system crisis
compass for sustaining life 1.1
examples from a London post-ClintonGI2006 and where Branson takes on the world's number 1 collaboration
share of voice for investing in climate crisis venture capital with my
father's and entrepreneurial energy's most trusted venture capitalist http://www.khoslaventures.com/resources.html Dave www.carboncoach.com might choose climate crisis, John www.simpol.org might choose simultaneity -politics
sans frontieres, sofia might choose education or conflict
facilitation, someone or team far more courageous than me might choose peace 2.0 send me at least 3 questions to start your sq test
up -we are trialling a particular testcard format discussed below but if you strongly wish to develop a different SQtest
style, please inform me 2.1 you get your own sqtest.tv page and your
own questions with links to your own web or networks; however if someone comes along and is deeply interested in working
on what they believe is the same SQ test, you take the responsibility to discuss with them until you all decide if you
are open sourcing the same SQtest theme or different ones; if its different ones that's no problem because that's
the stage to refer the person to info@sqtest.tv so they can start up their own page. 2.2 For transparency, please anticipate some agent provocateur work from my
side over time - eg a letter to Richard Branson's office asking if he wants to nominate someone in collaborating
around the SQtest of climate crisis or of women which was the subject of his rebel billionaire reality tv program. I am also
surveying shareholders of The Economist in a similar collaboration and media reformation way, but then my family and many
impudent scots from Adam Smith and James Wilson on are media entrepreneurs www.normanmacrae.com to our and out nation's worldwide
networking core. And on behalf of all our children we are shocked and to tell the truth increasingly angry when
HM Majesty's Stern reports that due to lack of open questioning about climate since we prioritised it in our 1984 death of
distance future history, countries are at the brink of having to invest 1% of GDP to save 20% GDP or if you listen to Google.org's
Larry Brilliant at minute 14 - 100% of global GDP http://webcast.ucsd.edu:8080/ramgen/UCSD_TV/11645.rm ----------------- 3.0 the trial testcard each question gives the person a preference choice between 2 opposites to
vote which their common sense feels good in matching future sustainability; part 2 of each question is:
in daily life do you find you are ordered or otherwise persuaded to do what your preference selected or the
opposite? 3.1 example- vote for how to map the future sustainability
of 21st C networking economics: Schumacher -sustain open trades
around 2 million global village contextsgovern only by the economics/audits/media
of the 100 largest corporations and nations measured around the big get bigger (when users have suggestions on how to make
wording simpler, web space can do that very easily- in other words , don't be afraidt: put some wording up and wait
for those social nets who love your sustainability theme to help make your SQ test communications
more fun, emotionally inspiring and memorably viral) like all webs which world class brands teams
since my 1990 book and I charter, SQtest will connect and open source supporting methods - for example
the collaboration role of www.sustainabilityclub.com is to get people to identity which world summit formats they trust most as connecting with social sustainability
networks they can participate in - probably www.microcreditsummit.org is top of that league - of course this is up for revaluation over the next few days as they are
due to announce whether the 1999 collaboration plan to take 100 million families out of poverty that will be a different
story for http://grameen.tv and
http://worldcitizen.tv to keep on investigating. For sure, the above can be edited into simpler more fun learning game stuff
over time, as change world travel guides and peoples' other open action learning resources emerge
out of London the City now in year 23 of the campaign for no Olympics tv without Sustainability tv.
But first since loss of sustainability is the greatest mathematical mistake the world has ever been ruled by, it is
time for world citizens networks to develop the antidote to death by global accounting's maths of compound separability. You
can also test another entrepreneurial network's get out of jail free card by fast clicking to the peace
competitions at www.changemakers.net...or tell
me if there's anywhere else that is transparently seeking the cure to monopoly governance by the world's greatest mathematical
mistake- a challenge that Brookings economics and Georgetown Law School's Unseen Wealth research clarified in 2000, and which
has not been addressed in any compound true way as is evident from nap.edu's 2005 fathering storm inquiry. chris macrae us
