magic moments in the history of cc Jan 08 filming Dr Yunus in a collaboration cafe on his book launch on Future Capitalism leads to October 2008 launch of Yunusdvd 10000 - a dialogue designed so that youth around the world enjoy demanding more SMBAs than MBAs. 08 also sees the 100th collaboration cafe across cities including Dhaka, Paris, London, New York, Washington DC .. monthly 100 person intercity yunus forum collaborations begin (facebook eg 1) Oct05 - 30 person cafe in London - invitation come only if there is a sustainability crisis you are on a mission to turn round before 2012; and if you will guide each of us through the network you believe most relevant to responding to that sustainability crisis. This starts up mapping research in which surveys show that only Bangladesh has models that are trusted to collaborate in a whole truth world of microeconomics instead of the lose-lose-lose globalsiation of big gets bigger.

Thursday, February 19, 2009 collaboration dhaka plans for yes we can 09Dear Mostofa thanks for your phone conversation at 1.00 am your
time basically I feel we need one of 4 things to have been agreed before the end of next week 1 date of june 23 (or similar
date) is confirmed for start of microyouth summit (or Bangla5000 network as per the brief dr yunus gave you in bali) in
dhaka hosted for one day as dr yunus special dialogue in dhaka by you on phone with lamiya or 2 I get 30 minutes in London to explain to
dr yunus how urgent youth and yes we can now is so that he can decide about june 23 or 3 I make a quick visit to dhaka-
any time that dr yunus has a next half hour in dhaka so that this decision is made one way or another or 4 I personally
give up networking (which may be a good thing) at least until I can see some other yunus group where the core of change
banking is openly replicating and youth (especially NW undergraduate 19-21) are wholly celebrated for being in the middle
of that core I understand that yunus or lamiya's team may ask if this topic is so urgent why haven’t
you Chris discussed it with dr yunus before ... well I make mistakes but also ... firstly timewise and USA contextwise
the way of marketing yunus collaboration brand couldn’t be done through youth and networks until obama was inaugurated;
secondly finding (and trying to get trusted) some youth whose networks are also 10 times more active because of obama's
inauguration was needed; third what dr yunus microyouth strategy and rumors of what's possible is about since jan 2008
as we wrere briefed for 4 hours in dhaka is something that for example grameen america leaders (eg vidar) have
not been brand-briefed on by yunus and me together -so he is still saying the only way that youth or anyone can start grameen
bank branches is coming up with 2 million dollars locally; this is not either the right way to ask 19 year olds to focus their
efforts around a collaboration family of microbanks designed by Bangladesh leaders, nor is it the free marketing point
in that if we had a huge wave of youth collaborating around a grameenmicrocredit student bank in DC now that would be worth
tens of millons of dollars of media and micro-positive-PR lobbyng in helping obama 's leaders change banking policy and
yes we can youth multiplying social business network concepts I have always tried to tell you that I have very
little deep knowledge on micro credit and local networks of ending female poverty, but I have 30 years of experience of how
to global brand actions at lowest cost and I know how to research which economic professors or other opinion leaders are )entrepreneurial-revolution)
ready to wholly change and which are just image-making or lurking. The trouble is my limited skills depend on ahead-of-time
connectivity of information as well as connectivity of grameen's own communications. This isn’t happening in very
basic was some of which I have mentioned since our first meeting n jan 08: eg one subscription newsletter top
of every grameen web - had this been done in January 08 the most interactive million yunus connectors would now be connected
by whatever speeches (or links to replicable franchises) he wanted to share with them across all cities at the same
time. That would have made the learning exchange of an open university of the 10 world-deepest microcredits happen
with youth at no cost not needing 0.1 billion dollars from world bank to help stage. That's just one of
5+ missing pieces that yes we can networking needs now which are not yet interconnecting in the master jigsaw of collaborative
innovation to race towards poverty museums in any place. . For the next 4 months of all the different tasks dr yunus does on his world
tours connecting actions of youth around real microbanking and thousand of social business listings is most urgent because
it will never come again- everything else his representatives do whilst vital isn’t so time sensitive and anyhow depends
on youth bending the curve with obama thanks It could also be mentioned that in America
until thy end of bush people had to be very brave indeed to fully represent micro versus macro; whilst this social dynamic
has now changed the new problem is that everyone who could had little money and the financial fear for 19-21 year olds already
having taken out large student loans needs a new kind of courage to be a first to0 lead microyouthsummit around Business)

if I have wrongly described it please edit it;love to help in any way perhaps you could summarise the key things
that the search involves where collaboration might help: ?good local leaders ?a microcredit that has started
but not yet got 100000+ mass instead of 10000 or under ?African disapora networks that will help as well as ensure
their governments are not going to destroy transparency microcredit needs I mentioned new york's hunger project
pan africa womens prize as a network which I feel is good at searching but may not have deep understanding of MFI -
its youtube is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckpmIH1rHHo Rachel, I realise that womensworldbanking and others have already helped
you to start make shortlists. I have a feeling that at least 2 of the Africans peter and spencer introduced me to yesterday
might well have contacts in their country who could both help fundriase and find which of various mfi is the one to support welcome others circulated correcting
or questioning anything I have misunderstood at version 1
Ollaboration5000 Wanted 5000 citizens to save world from aftermath of global financial meltdown Community accountancy doyen Peter Burgess and I went to 3 collaboration meetings in New York yesterday that suggested we citizens can connect this. Brief intros to some people and connecting purposes of those meetings are body of this email. As a mathematician, I will not mince words. we will look back at first decade of C21 and see that the only innovation USA invested money into was numbers algorithms that compound speculators bubbles- the rest of the world needs to map a new community to community world trade with urgency and transparency. If you know how to network for humanity, don't lurk now. I have recently had parallel meetings to NY's in Dhaka ( Bangladesh ) and London , and know other Europeans deeply designing micro systems (opposite to the wall street macro ones that spun this mess) in Paris and Barcelona . That’s just 5 places I can help search out 5000 –please bring your own places to the map. My suggestion is we turn this into a viral mail until we have mapped 5000 people. Not all have to be individually listed – you can vouch (host in absentia) for peers who you are sure are curious and openly practical about collaborating around this challenge. If you don’t like that idea unsubscribe now; if you like the idea start introducing others. I am aware we need ways to make this more practical that one email – though one "connecting the dots" email makes for simple viral-goodwill multiplying practice as long as any subdiscussions (eg fporm a connecting yahoogroup), which will of course be needed, do 2 opposite things – they don’t take over this e-mail’s purpose but they do add in any more people who they find through detailed sub-discussion are also part of the whole. I also suggest that the New York section of this email host a real meeting within a week of the election of new man in white house, ideally the day after. Our 5000 branding will be very loose (of course we wont agree with each other on every priority –it is not owned by anyone; we commend collaboration cafe micro values – every human being needs access to jobs that make their difference and no culture/demographic is superior to any other) . Be confident : if MicroCapital5000 is going to help save the world from the aftermath of global meltdown, its suggestions need voice at the new president’s door just as much as any other institute or identifiable network of people New York Meeting 3 (host spencer center for conflict dialogue in new york ) reminded us inter alia Einstein said that a sustainable transformation to global will not be solved by the institutes of the prior system. So let’s revel in our 5000 being wholly new in that sense. It also included daring questions- like what solutions –however outside the box- do we have for picking up the pieces of the world after global financial meltdown. I passionately have a bias in seizing on one suggestion of compound risk expert Bill Sharon – roughly he said let’s study innovation industry sector the whole world knows it needs like solar energy, understand that they already could thrive except for the old global system having blocked them, revel in exactly those opposite sort of ownership and community up accounting they need to connect the world excluding nobody who wants clean energy. I may have mis-transcribed that so I ask in particular Bill, Spencer and Peter to edit any misinterpretation. While confessing to why I love this solution – we (including Mostofa Zaman Yunus100 Forums in London and 1) have 10000 dvds to circulate right now from the pace that is the world’s largest installer of solar units ( Bangladesh ). Its also largest owner of mobiles per head of population and looking at how these can be used to both connect the world with a transparency global wall street never had as well as leapfrog industries which sustainable serve the poorest as part of their business case. President Clinton has said http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jB1tSDXbOzg of Bangladesh that it is the new new world economy – essentially a developing nation with an above zero sum approach to both ending its own poverty and collaboratively increasing human productivity anywhere that sustainable communities can be planted. The attached is the start of an online mockup of the 10000 dvds but do either get one from the many people on this list who have large stocks or ask me to snailmail. Collaboration Cafe Meeting 2 was with Rachel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9nL_a0K97I . I am wholly confident that Rachel knows women’s networks who could help recover the world after global meltdown, and she is the USA representative of a different 25000 Bangladeshi network ASA from that in the dvd (Grameen). I would very much like to reissue the next 10000 dvd keeping which every are the 5 favorite of the 25 short videos in it and adding add favorites from other source networks in sustaining the world such as ASA in Bangladesh . Collaboration Cafe Meeting 1 was with Zahid ( http://www.businessactionforafrica.org/ www.businessfightspoverty.org ) from Barcelona- who like Peter and I had at least 10 years of experience of working with such numbers folk as coopers & lybrand and various development elites. Since then he has produced the most exciting virtual communities so folk in these institutes can connect across what they can’t do inside their own elite. Again please correct the misreporting. One such network mentors has figured out how development experts can give their time in virtual mentoring to people with real practical crises in poor communities to resolve Enough from me. Will you play or do you want to unsubsribe. Or is there a way someone else wants to take this over if others agree they have a more practical idea aimed at recovering an equitable future for all peoples starting with the poorest who have had least to do with this global rich person’s crisis but who are most likely to be left out if the old systems are the only ones with a voice in global 2.0 Chris Macrae 301 881 1655 http://banglausa.com http://yunus10000.com http://microprosummit.com PS I have established http://groups.yahoo.com/group/microcapital/ -may I suggest that at any time you post microcapital@yahoogroups.com anything more about your cv or why your experience can help us practice the reconciliation of global financial system and sustainability (exponential rising) of every community within it settings at moment anyone can post (but moderated)

If you like the sound of the collaboration cafe method I can intro you to the folk on this cable tv program - basically concerned with encouraging youth and small businesses among the poorer communities of New York
CC actually started in the peak of the dotcom time while I was in London. I had a cheeky idea. Why not spot gurus who were passing through london, write ahead of time saying can we have an hour of your time - we can’t afford big conference fees but we can network to get 10 people who want to try doing stuff you suggest. Edinburgh could be a similarly good place for such entrepreneurial collaboration hosting
Actually dad http://www.normanmacrae.com/friends.html and I and soros agree I think on one idea. Globalisation is an overarching system that one generation -ours - will spin to one of two extreme opposite outcomes- bad news would be Big Brotherdom of Orwellian kind- good news would be an age where all 7 billion beings have an equitable chance to make the most of life.
Soros was on US television ten days ago, saying that we can deduce from the banking meltdown everywhere that global has been spun by big speculative interests since 1984, and its now time for everyone else's voice to be integrated if sustainability is where we want the worldwide to go. I think we are more or less at our generation's crossroads. I know that understanding more of what/how /why (the social business entrepreneur) alumni of Yunus design business systems around will do no harm. For example, his community banks only ever invest in helping people be productive never in fueling demands for credit. The fruit of any community's innovations and work is reinvested back in tee community not creamed out to some empire's capital and Walled Streets. But ultimately the issue for me is one of awareness of choice - do enough of us from every diversity know what a choice we need to make as this networking age makes us so connected, and why do public institutes like the BBC not help debate this weekly? chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk Saturday, October 18, 2008

Example:
socialbusinessclub.net would like to see a social business club flourish in every city
assumptions:
different cities will want a different sort of club with different membership dues, facilities
it is possible that some clubs will be created completely anew, but others will minimise costs either adding on a club to an existing facility or chnaging the focus of a hub or other center that is already operating
in cases of clubs with small revenue turnovers, we can imagine the need for the owners or management team to correctly answer a quiz based on cases of known social businesses or other materials provided by those in bangladesh with many decades experience of social busines modelling; in cases of clubs that go above a certain market size, it will likely be necessary to take an additional certification (typically one of the authorised SMBAs by Dr Yunus)
we want to adapt these rules so that certain goals are achieved:
1 wherever a city has significant Micronetworkers - we need a capacity to train up more SMBAs than MBAs
2 it is expected that much of action learning exercises of social business will have a commons licence - worldwide city clubs of socialbusiness.net have a right to expel any club that makes use of its materials expensively copyrighted in contrast to what other clubs do
3 social busienss clubs are likely to become colaboration gravities for social actions teams, including those that ultimately help design 7 microsummits going beyond today's on credit to health , media, energy/water/biomass, education, government, professions 2.0
this is version 0 - I am delighted to start Q&A that can help make this concept ready to multiply alongside our other networks by and for those serving the collaboration economy

My maternal grandad was mentored, one Bar of London qualified barrister to another, by Gandhi for over 25 years in the Mumbai region between 1920 and 1945 ish.
Gandhi's Truth transformation of the British Empire involved the three-in-on system change : to education, to media and to professions. As high court judge for the region ,grandad started by sending Gandhi to jail and ended by helping write up the legalese of India's Independence. This begs the question - which we'd always love to correspond about - where are the social networks for wholeplanet truth today? Can we network weavers co-create enough of them before inconvenient truths be they climate, banking crises , food crises exponentially crash - all over a collapsing world.
Collaboration Cafe began around 2003 not to be any of these networks but to help map where they are at be a gatesway between them finding in-guide networks to outsiders etc
Here's a bit more of our history. If you are a citizen concerned for sustainability of future generations and like the sound of our open cafe hosting network, please do tell us what you'd like to volunteer to host or ask questions.
chris macrae DC region 301 881 1655
1) if it helps as a shared identity we are delighted if anyone debating community-up projects whose knowledge is more open source than closed wants to call an event a collaboration cafe
2) historically we did start with quite a specific modus operandi;
I had been volunteering on the management committee of www.simpol.org which surveys what sustanability crises national governments alone will never solve because the issues are sans frontieres,
and need long-run compound corrrect decisions not short-term party political ones; having started to have a crisis 20 issues
list, we thought we'd be cheeky and invite world opinion leaders on a specific community-up issue passing through
london to a cafe where we basically said we cant pay you money like the confernce organiser you have come to speak to but
we can search out networks for the 10 people who most desperately want to collaborate around your practices; if you will give
us an hour at any time ,we'll get the people there!
that was about 6 years ago, and we soon found that the format
was just as interesting if someone local had something deep to share for an hour with about 10 people;
3) over
the years we have done about 100 cafes, more of the local sort than the world leader sort!; the collaboration tavern with
a bit longer and food and more people seems to be the same genre to me; and we do love knowing that there are hosts in
different cities who find the process worth connecting - london , new york and paris are the main places we have hosts to
date but in my case the yunus impetus as someone the collaboration and system changing like I dont expect
to see again is a reason where I would dream that we could NOW connect tens if not hundreds of cities informally in cummunity
up hosting cafes
please ask questions or correct me- collaboration cafe is not intended to be prescriptive other than expecting
to meet community-up people typically tackling issues that need worldwide scaling/replicating solutions
