sept 5 : we're 14 days away from this london-based weekend being convened by some Aussies and a world class lineup of patrons

"We are establishing an interdisciplinary and cross-cultural network to develop strategies for cooperation among groups and indivividuals using existing links and the internet - the network seeks to recreate the human face of globalization and to formulate projects aimed at bringing people together"

-forgive me if I interject one or two countdown reminders on this unique event -converging all hemispheres' concerns on humanitarian issues and the failure of our largest organisational systems to provide any hope of leadership on narrowing global gaps
