The Global Dialogue starts August 1st, 2002. The period August 17-22 is a time for summarizing results and August 22 is the closing of the Global Dialogue. Proceedings will be written in September/October and will be made available on the website of Earth Community Organization afterwards. Back to top of the page
The Global Dialogue is being held all over the planet. Our website is used to relate results to everyone so as to continue the discussions with everyone else on Earth. Discussion Roundtables are divided into the four interacting blocks: Social, Environment, Economics and Availability of Resources. We have actively been searching for people who would qualify to chair each one of these four major systems. Their names will appear in the section "3. Discussion Roundtables Listing." Leaders of the Discussion Roundtables are allowed to organize their sessions in their own town, university or home, wherever, as long as they assume all costs. Noone is being paid for their work and expenses. This is strictly on a volunteering basis and no money is available or will be available. You may also invite the public, experts and all Participants to your Discussion Roundtable. This is a grassroots process and everyone is invited. Leaders were chosen. They do not have to do this. They may even up-out of this process at any time without penalties of any kind (let me know now if you cannot go on with this process). So please be understanding! We are breaking grounds with the Global Dialogue and in the ways international conferences may be held in the future. Noone has ever organized a Global Dialogue having people (including the general public) from all over the planet participating interactively from their own town, community, universities or homes. Daily results of the Discussion Roundtables usually include comments and recommendations and are to be sent by email to gdufour@globalcommunitywebnet.com in the message area of the email (please no attachment unless necessary). Each email message should not be larger than 60 KB. Send several messages but try to be within this limit. Only messages with email addresses shown under "Participants" will be read. If you need to use a different email address let me know first by phone. All Participants are invited to send their comments and recommendations to the Leaders of their choice. Participants are required to communicate with their leaders of interest. You are required to discuss via email and send comments and recommendations to them. Leaders will relate to this website your comments and recommendations and summarizing results. All Leaders are required now to send an Opening Statement related to their Discussion Roundtable. A Closing Statement should also be sent during the period August 17-22, 2002. These statements along with the comments and recommendations will be inserted in the space reserved to each Discussion Roundtable on our website. All Leaders will contact (by email) paper submitters who have written Lead Papers within their respective Discussion Roundtables and ask for comments and recommendations. All papers must be reviewed. During the period August 17-22 leaders will summarize results and email them as well. Back to top of the page
