[P2P-F] Fwd: A Call to Action and the Endorsements

Mon Nov 28 14:55:47 CET 2011

Michel, there are tons of this type of calls without offering a credible
structure of engagement. They nurse only the good conscience of the callers
and signers, and don¹t make much difference, IMHO.

> global unity, partaking in a dialogue of civilisations, faiths, cultures and
> peoples in consideration for the common good.  This global movement has risen

> to Oakland; Wall Street to St. Paul¹s; Frankfurt to Brussels: Rome to Athens;

> The crises of ecological devastation and glaring social and economic
> inequality are pushing the planet to the brink of catastrophe.
>  
> We, the undersigned, co-authored the document noted below- A Call to Action-
> and sought the support of interested parties, by asking them to consider
> endorsing it. As the current global crises have clearly shown, the whole world
> is waking up to the value of co-creation and the harnessing of knowledge from
> diverse sources, disciplines, experience and expertise. We are gratified by
> the level of enthusiastic support for the Call. We also received wise
> arguments and sincere suggestions on how to make this more inclusive, so that
> many more can join and sign the petition. We have acknowledged these
> suggestions and have incorporated them into the Call to Action. The final
> document and the list of our endorsees are noted below. It goes without saying
> that we are most grateful for all your ongoing support. It is only when we
> work together that we may change the world for the better.
