What connects the most purposeful peoples’ summits in the world?
1.0 Uniting round The Greatest Ever Goal: 1960s people had the moon: we have saving the planet & ending poverty –what could be more exiting than 2010s?2.1 Celebrating practitioners with solutions that diverse peoples and communities can open source; peoples summits are exact opposite of global summits where world leaders are there to image make on tv
2.2 Does a peoples summit exist- in my searches the one that’s most interesting is 1997-2010 microcreditsummit www.microcreditsummit.orgBehold the largest self-help undertaking in human history—bringing hope, dignity, and empowerment to tens of millions of the world’s poor and poorest families. Behold a movement with global outreach, that has penetrated beyond city slums and market towns to even the most isolated villages. Behold an industry that embraces thousands of NGOs, credit unions, public and private banks, and an infrastructure of hundreds of thousands of community-based peer lending groups that are enabling many of the planet’s most disadvantaged households to generate the additional income and savings they need to keep their children alive, nourished, healthy, and able to attend schools |
Probably if microcreditsummit had started much later than 1997 it wouldn’t have developed to be human process distributed
3.1 What can we learn from history of greatest races? Well it seems to me that the moon race was greatest collaboration between man and computer because the computer was only used for what man couldn’t do; today’s hi-tech mistake may be to only use man for what computers can’t do
3.2 Discover collaboration tools usable at magic ages in personal development- in 5 years of searching world citizen guides identifies:
3.2.1 before adolescence the Gandhi family who care for 31000 lucknow school children that has computerised Montessori practices, and Harrison Owen open space as extraordinary collaboration experiences
3.2.2 for teenagers, the entrepreneurial competition formats of new Zealand schools where every child is also encouraged to be a great journalists /questioner and not rush into smart answers looks world class to me
3.2.3 for those at university age (or last 2 year together before jobs) networks of microenetrepreneurs like Bangladesh encourages and Frnace has implemented round www.danonecommunities.com are great collaboration experiences;
3.2.3 At every age: based on Dr Muhammad Yunus new book Building Social Business we can host games round any greater sustainability goal we choose, and encourage 12 type of collaboration partners to play at networking innovation by multiplying best of micro systems, macro systems and media systems
4 Elect beliefs which can help the culture sustain people summits over 13+ years4.1 the king can’t change until people can is one of my favs – what’s yours
for mathematicians (or those professions that pride themselves on numeracy) : we are suffering from the world’s biggest maths error- the bad and good news is that we can only see sustainability blossoming if we resolve this error; the maths of sustainability exponentials exist (yunus social business model is one version of it) ; also those microcreditsummit networkers who have maintained the system rules introduced by the Bangladeshi microcredits back in 1997 have 13 years experience of validating sustainability’s maths

maybe that the method Sam has to use (50 country tour - which 2 mictrocredits per country like the kenya's most dramatic

listing 2.0 If I have misunderstood then the error is solely mine but it seems to me this message getting through
to Dr Yunus is worth checking as we joyfully map 2010s end poverty decade thanks, chris macrae ----------------------------------------------------- Part 2 for those concerned with being 100% clear of what the system design rules of social business and microeconomics Future Histories of Humanity require -chess would not be the same game if you changed how pawns moved; so it is with systems-
understanding what rules not to change in designs or replications of the Bangaldesh Social Business system molecule (whether
individually organised or openly network mapped through many partners) - developed over a third of a century's
prooftesting as world's greatest inervention for local peoples' job creation, kids development and communities' sustainability FIRST LAW OF SOCIAL BUSINESS DYNAMICS the first law of social
business: ownership 0% top-down shareholders & 100%
(owned) in Mcro-Up trust for those in longest compound need to be served There
are actually a lot of reasons why stick at 0% siphoned out 1
this is the pure system of end poverty –stop big colonist capitals sucking out sustainability of local communities or
worse causing them to be their own waste buckets or depressing area 2
this is the pure maths that is the opposite of Wall Street Spreadsheeters - being ruled by one side rewarded for how
much it extracts from every other, every quarter 3 it
is in effect the Bangladeshi invention that both grameen and brac compounded the world’s most purposeful orgs around
and ten times more economic local community systems around -(cf prahalad bot of pyramid search for 10 times more economic)
4 constitutionally as soon as an org has well maybe 1% can
go to external shareholders, its always possible when the organization has a difficult time –eg its leader retires-
that some lawyer will be hired to turn 1% siphoning to 100% 5
0% should allow a social business to claim that it be treated in law as not for taxation 6 0% should be arguable both to charities and to governments as a better model than anything
they do to serve the weakest 7 if every partner in a network is a 0%
social business then you are safer than if you have to audit seem that are these hybrid social businesses ; in fact the hybrid
can bring down the whole network margaret blair, a georgetown
scholar of social law, chairlady of unseen wealth presented a similar logic on dangers of compound risk
to incoming bush admin in first quarter of 2001 – all her DC research budgets were stopped; nor have presentations in
2004 in brussels to EU head of intangibles research there gone better; so I think yunus micro networks are the last game
left to connect any sustainability capital there
are probably many other pattern rules like this that you can jot down as you start writing up social business cases; that’s
one reason why the openness of having the main back of social business cases matters chris macrae http://trilliondollaraudit.com/ DC 301 881 1655 Microcredit.tv is edited by journalists for humanity and invites those who believe mapping exponentially true sustainability investment models is humanity’s most exciting

system invention discovered by the world’s poorest large nation in the 1970s: Bangladesh. Two of the greatest
entrepreneurs to have ever been entrusted to bank for and by the people designed the most purposeful organizational model
ever to compound value through time. Unlike charities serving life critical needs they insisted on mapping productive and
demanding organisations with positive cashflows. Unlike previous notions of business they insisted that ownership of these
organizations be in trust of the poorest or those in most life critical need of each social business’s specifically
designed purpose. They brought freedom and happiness to women in a culture which had lost such human rights. These women used
their microcredit banks to invest in the next generation as the greatest sustainability investment choice of all.
informal correspondence with sam on what happens after microcreditsummit seems cool to me to if 5000 youth ambassadors are aware how to help celebrate the future of microcreditsummit... please help sam place this op-ed: so far in over 10 countries & 15 local/regional newspapers sam: We are still talking with one major funder on this (and will probably talk
with others). It would be one staff in Africa, Asia, and Latin America who would each go to 18 countries over three
years (54 total) a lead a MFI network briefing on Jamii Bora's innovations in urban slums and then hold a competition to select
two most likely to visit Jamii Bora and return to their country and implement the innovations in the urban slums. Celebrating Yes We Can’s Teenage

rewind to 1997: We believe that poverty does not belong in a civilised human society. It belongs in museums.
Thus summit is about creating a process which will send poverty to the museum. We will create a poverty free world. Microcredit (1.0) multipliers work best when an optimal way is found to regenerate productivities and demands
across many communities across a region by brining incoming generation to many people who were unemployed or trapped by a
loan shark, other top-down power, or lack of structure that was preventing a living to be earned. Another way for microcredit
multipliers to lift off exponentially over time is when a regional sector is identified which sustains more value for all
who work in it iof it is owned in trust for its producers. Case community regeneration – Grameen
Bangladesh now empowers 7 million female villagers to be income generating who previously weren’t with the extra impact
that previously they did not earn enough to nourish and educate their children but now we have new village
generation blossoming More recently grameen has identified 2 new industry sectors that were great income generators
when owned community up – mobile telephone ladies and clean energy including solar panels and biogas BRAC Bangladesh has primarily been an industry sector developer. Today the sectors owned in
trust for the poorest by BRAC include village nursing, village primary education , the whole poultry chain, the whole livestock
chain, the silk production chain and corresponding fashion brand . Jamii Bora Kenya , inspired bt Grameen,
has identified ways for slum youth to be productive in a mobile age along with their mothers, Microcredit
(2.0) multipliers come when a microcredit brand is well enough established to be regarded as a nation’s most trusted
brand. At This stage the microcredit is often a highly economical channel to partner with especially for innovations that
match sustainability and other vital needs. Brac.tv Replicating sustainable service franchises doesn’t need rocket science but ownership design Top-Down Franchise 1 Perfect what
small team of people need to do in one place as well as what components they need delivered or in or channeled around 2 Own the components and patent the channel so as to maximise value

being ratified .Opportunities WE believe today- as dad wrote from The Economist 25 years ago - that microcredit -as designed by bangladesh grandmasters of this system - is the best news loans have ever had
because it is bringing the costs of community loans down both through smart use of digital technology and smart use of
trust relationships every way round the value exchange - an integral assumption on which all free market models are
supposed by Adam to be based . Microcredit reduces percentage of defaults to neglibible proportions and energises
all sides off a communal value exchange in win-win-wins that continuously improve core purpose whilst being able to flex relevant
change. Bangladesh, through the maths that governs social business models and prioritises life critical service sectors with franchises of a replicating open source map - is
arguably the first nation in the networking world to be multiplying value sustainably way above zero-sum; please tell
us where else - eg kenya's Jamii Bora scaling up is to be cheered as every 2.5 years it doubles its world benchmark as a sustainability invetir an idea I think we
should set up meeting with eg Jon Hatch around is why can't unis with business schools set up a 50000 dollar microcredit lab
; my understanding is that 50000 dollars would be enough to set up 5 groups of 5 borrowers incrementally (an additional
25) per year (also since he was the first person to think of a microcreditsummit we could ask if he supports a heroic goal
of microyouthssummit) some of the weekly meetings could be video-taped -as example of microentrepreneur mentoring what is
easily forgotten is that not only is a community banker trying to enable 25 people to action learn to be microcentrepreneurs
but if he is wise he selects females whose startups are not competitive, not already locally saturated in the community; or
in other cases he starts a whole cluster which is historically how silicon valley or any new industry sector got located/seeded
indeed we could soon see a whole checklist of what a microbranch manager does other way round differently with credit from
what a brancd manager in a macro chain does; I would have thought that every first year undergraduate not only economics
students could gain from writing up essays inspired by some of those micro-dialogues 50000 dollars per business school uni
is chicken feed against most research projects and versus baliout monies if yes we can obama can't find some way to start
up the first 20 unis by 09/10 that take that on with a million dollar fund then I seriously wonder whether the new admin will
create 1 green job let alone 5 million in big cities with 5 unis one bangladesh microcredit branch manager can serve
5 uni centres a week; across 50 big cities that's 250 hubs to linkin if you want to hub microcredit action learning centres
the way grameen microcredit always has, accelerated cince 1996 by mobile tech , and since 2007 by intel tech I suppose
I am missing something but equally this seems like content for a survey to send out to university ecoprofessors and see who's
who if a krugman can't be bothered to put his name to a 50000 dollar princeton microcredit uni fund (call it the jon von neumann
microcredit centre if you want to celebrate the father of collaborative computing's above zero sum game theories) then I seriously
wonder whether american universities are worth a cent; maybe students should take a class action against them for misinformation

Chinese Edition of John von Neumann. I’m glad to tell you this book was published in December 2008.Thanks Mr. Norman
Macrae for the Preface. I sent several books to Publishing House’s foreign rights, they should mail a simple book to

I don’t know you need the Chinese edition or the electronic document of English, and you didn’t tell me the address.
Please tell me in detail. Thanks a lot! Sincerely, Liu Li-man Signing the declaration of youth interdependence-

Colabiratin is the new innovation advantage. Welcome to the above zero-sum 2010s decade of Global Social Business partnering in sustainability. . . . . . . . . .
I wish to take this opportunity to thank millions of micro-borrowers and thousands of staff who have worked so hard
to right a wrong which has caused so much avoidable human misery. This summit is about setting the stage to unleash human
creativity and the endeavor of the poor. This summit is about creating a process which will send poverty to the museum...
At the moment of the Wright Brothers first flight - which lasted only 12 seconds, the seed of a new world was planted. 65
years later, men walked on the moon. Let's ensure that in less than that time interval we will go to our moon - creating a
world without poverty . http://www.fonkoze.org/ Bangladeshi’s lead the world in dialogues on climate and millennium goals and how to collaboratively

elders cheering them on.

1.0
the way loans are systemised determines whether any value exchange can compound sustained growth or is designed to crash; generally a place's economy cannot grow over time if loans are made for addictive consumption purposes instead of productive
purposes
2.0 its always worth being curious about what purposes are productive; for example, however hard someone
works to deliver something it is likely to be increasingly unproductive if there is a glut of substitutable offers;conversely
a community should always treasure any skills it once became most valuable at or which match its own abundancy of resources
since it would de dismal to become a value prisoner of someone else's colonial chain; the greatest investments made in human
progress take time and have seldom come from the business world driven by 90-days money men, but intergenerational systems and
family networks; unforunately many governments have been misled into a top-down big-brother scenario by false
macroeconomic paradigms which value such family flows at below zero; as our microeconomics alumni first forecast 25 years ago, this in itself will end human sustainabiluty unless we repeal such mistaken maths 3.0 it is also worth classifying different types of product sectors; the
most valuable to lead are thise that multiply value between producer and customer and nature; the least valuable
have a transient transactional form which also leave nothing behind to benefit future generations; at one stage during the
2000's , over 40% of profits in USA came from financial engineering, which even if it had been correct, was the first
time in the nation's history that it stopped investing in developing its next generation's futures; america is no longer the
first place to benchmark any wholly innovative or sustainable metrics from-let's hope its yes we can generations
dare boldly reverse this and go as president obama to a different culture than the failed top-down
4.0 with simple
statements like the above, it is possible to assess more innovative opportunities and threats .threats : we cannot imagine how to design a more disastrous system of
loans than that which global banks have compounded over the first decade of century 21 spun round wall street; being geared
against sustainable productivity, and bringing the state of mistrust to madoff and toxic proportions; quite simply the american
economy will continue to shrink year on year until those who designed and powered over such systems - and the systems
themselves - are removed

Microcredit.tv is edited by people who believe that microcredit is one of the most human innovations ever. We are curious
amateurs when it comes to such why’s of banking as promoting productivity of people or their propensities to consume.
We would never want to be professionals in the world of big banking. If there is anyone in the world of big banking who wants
to testify why they are proud of their profession- we have one page where we will display their signed testimonies.

I wish to take this opportunity to thank millions of micro-borrowers and thousands of staff who have worked so hard to right a wrong which has caused so much avoidable human misery. This summit is about setting the stage to unleash human creativity and the endeavor of the poor. This summit is about creating a process which will send poverty to the museum... At the moment of the Wright Brothers first flight - which lasted only 12 seconds, the seed of a new world was planted. 65 years later, men walked on the moon. Let's ensure that in less than that time interval we will go to our moon - creating a world without poverty .
