Dear Friends,

I don't like the way most of this is written in CAPS, and since I'm
leaving for Germany on Wed. I have no time to deal with it. However, it
looks good and maybe some of you will want to be involved.

NOTE FROM JEAN: To give you an idea of the goals of this organization,
here
is below the conclusion of a speech given a year ago at the Democracy
Forum
2000 by its president, Troy Davis. Among the numerous efforts to
establish
world democracy, this one seems to be in a position to move ahead this
important goal - if we all care enough to support it... So make sure to
give a look at http://www.worldcitizen.org and find out more for yourself
about it.

From: http://www.worldcitizen.org/speeches/stockholmspeech.shtml

"Direct global elections will totally change the rules of the game and
the
expectations of the world's citizens. It will usher in a new paradigm and
finally complete the slow democratic revolution started in Greece
thousands
of years ago.

We need to start seriously discussing how we can create global democratic
institutions. If we want to answer the concerns about globalisation, we
need to make this a broad-based dialogue rather than keep it to an elite.
We need the media to take part. This will only happen if the media sees a
broad and diverse coalition supporting such an idea. A good start has
been
made by the creation in May 1999 of the Global Coalition World Democracy
2010, a multi-stakeholder coalition to promote a global dialogue on this
issue. This coalition is focused solely on promoting a debate about the
practical issues involved in peacefully building a world democracy.

It already has 300 member organisations and individuals from all
continents, including Christian, Muslim and other religions, right and
left, business and NGOs, youth and women, local authorities and
parliamentarians, academics and athletes, as well as the traditional
peace
groups. We are in the process of inviting national governments,
inter-governmental organisations and companies to join this unique and
growing initiative to make the world a more democratic place.

You and your institution, whether you are a government, a business, an
NGO
or an academic or purely as an individual are invited to join this global
coalition

We invite you to participate to be an agent of change, to promote this
highly subversive but necessary idea: implementing a world democracy for
a
globalizing world."
