0.2 Paul Rose , Explorer and BBC broadcaster (Oceans ), winner of the Europa Climate Change Award for the film Meltdown, says of Ashden evening with Yunus : It was one of the most inspirational evenings I have ever had
He welcomes opportunity to convene a New York Collaboration Cafe next month and to join in attempt to make June 23 dilaogue in dhaka the greatest networked learning party our worldwide era has yet staged.
2.1 Progress is being made on suchcollaboration initiatives being prepared for june 23 as:
*Goal link 1000 social businesses in an open web catalogue http://socialbusiness.tv
*Identify a menu of 10 or more microcredit franchises whose replication has segmented application across USA communities provided Bernanke helps change what laws
*Develop an open grading/nominations system of Bangla5000 being a register of 5000 youth ambassadors and mentors inspired by replicating collaboration innovations from Bangladesh to other communities in most desperate need of micro-up services. This idea was first coceptualised during Microcreditsummit Bali 2008. If it were possible one day soon to develop Microyouthsummit as a // networking process designed to achieve as heroic a goal as 1997's of reaching over 100 million poorest families with microcredit (achieved 08) that would be a goodwill multiplier worthy of networks and youth.
2.2 We are starting a league table of cities where elders most help university students with micro up’s
entrepreneurial revolution. New entrant this week Los Angeles where elders aims to help stage a 21st c Woodstock. This is timely with much youth stars for responsibility emerging eg http://thegreenchildren.org; the takeover of the oscars by slumdog billionnaire; ongoing preparations by the actors subnetwork of http://theglobalsummit.org including mentoring by John Perry Barlow http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Perry_Barlow
2.3 Those who have never lost belief that the www could be the greatest productivity liberation for humanity ever. Clearly JPB, Yunus and many at MIT have never lost this defining belief in our generation. Love to hear your nominations of others who are connecting this
2.4 We are starting a league table on top 100 good news stories at http://www.yunusuni.com/id75.html Do tell us a story or suggest a fertile search –eg this is my favourite general one of the week http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=%2Bmobile+%2Bmicrocredit+OR+microfinance&btnG=Search
2.5 help us collate relevant youtube subscription spaces on the road to dhaka june 23 - 1) bangla5000
3.1 Correspondence such as letters being written to opinion leaders who may be able to contribute causal testimonies on what Soros has called fallibility era-
I owe a letter to the Provost of Columbia University in New York which I will try and do this week. Do tell us who else you are surveying on how they are helping Yes We Can and sustainability of Future of Capitalism.
4 Chartering entrepreneurial, collaborative networking and microeconomics values we try to live, learn and collaborate around. (please help iteratively edit)
Everyone is a microentrepreneur. Update proposed by Dr Yunus : the entrepreneur is one who makes more jobs than he/she takes.
No creed, demographic, locality is to be excluded from sustainability’s compound social economics purposes of integrating micro up globalisation.
Our (network) generation’s united space race is to see poverty museums blossoming everywhere. This can be a more relevant league table for broadcast and interactive media than any world cup, olympics league of champions or other celebrity platform.
Impossible becomes possible when right actions time place people link in.
The millennium goals are humanity’s greatest leadership/responsibility consensus. Each and all of us, in our geographies of communities and nations, and our virtual knowhow replicating spaces can strive to help each other get back on track to achieving these goals. This will generate healthy economies as well as inspire actions and learnings which children of century21 have a right to expect elders to be transparently resolving and truly innovating now.
5.0 The archives of these newsletter will be loaded at http://rowp.tv – rumors of what’s possible website which we commenced to celebrate the January 2008 launch in Dhaka of 1000 bookclub networked around the launch of the bestseller “creating a world without poverty – social business, future of capitalism”
