Re: Organization of organizations?

Why not use as part of the principles those of the global
camaign for world democracy and if necessary add to them ?
Viz 
1. Innate sovereignty of individuals
2. Sovereignty of the people expressed through direct or
representative democracy
3. Rule of law
4. Solving problems at the most local level practicable
(Subsidiarity Principle)
5. Institutional and procedural transparency to create and
maintain trust
6. Use of peaceful means to build such institutions
7. Non-discrimination (article 2 of Universal Declaration of
Human Rights)

Principles of tactics should include

Use other organisations as multiplicators
Use viral marketing on intenet to spread messages fast
Use the strength of the system against itself (principle of
judo) as we are not strong enough to change it by brute force
Be super-organized yet super-flexible
Design the World Citizen party as a living organism, thinking
carefully of its "DNA", instutional and cultural, not
forgotting it is a world organism, so taht it can grow
harmoniously, change shape as it grows (as nearly all living
things do) yet not break, evolve, reproduce etc.   Nature is
a wonderful source of inspiration, also for human
institutions, and living beings have been here for 3.5
billion years so they must be doing something right.  Let's
learn from them and their strategies (which include
simultaneously cooperation and competition !)

One additional item.  Several recent posts suggest that a
World Party could be a supra organization of organizations of
a wide variety of types, and  that membership would be
voluntary, based on agreement with some or most of  each
others principles.  If so, then it would be very useful to
create a basic set of principles as perhaps a starting point.
 It would not hurt to  discuss at the same time the second
item in my previous post regarding the  strategy and tactics
of a WP, given that these do affect the basic  principles.
