My point of view is that we should agree on some minimum core
principles, such as those in the common statement just sent. 
 Without pointing fingers directly but the consequences of
these core principles (or better yet, "design" principles  if
we are to build a new "Global House") that ineluctably there
will be more equity, justice etc.  I think all here can agree
that a real World Democracy, which needs then to be defined
in its machinery, is what we need.
