Dear Bruce,
I appreciate your
ideas and efforts very much!
As there is not enough interest
or abilities yet of WDDM members to participate in the Aaru Conference, I wish
that you stimulate the interest of this Movement to overcome
the present situation!
Please write for us
a few concrete proposals for the reorganisation of WDDM,
especially on the items you mention below, in order to begin
discussions and set the agenda of our 4th WDDM
Congress, either in Aaru or in Internet!
Our recent DD attempt in
Greece is to shape an alternative DD coalition of active
citizens and non profit NGOs against the corruption, that will
call the political parties to make "Social Contracts" with us and
our Network, inserting in their programmes elements of
DD and our rest of requests , in order
to support ONLY these parties that come
closer to our Views.
Thank you in
advance!

Dear George,
Thank you for the information and invite. I can not travel such distance,
but hope you will be able to set up some type of internet correspondence.
Perhaps in the future we will be able to have internet meetings.
I encourage discussion of the charter of WDDM, "Aim" of WDDM, and
officers of WDDM.
I believe it is time for a "reorganization" of WDDM. Attempts were made
to form a "Board" however they are now expired with no election of new
members.
I look forward to your experiences and discussion on DD.
All the Best, Bruce

Dear DD friends and
allies,
being among the
founders ( 2000, Athens and Delphi) and former elected v. Spokesperson
of WDDM I wish to explain why I am not so active tecently in
worldwide affairs.I spend my time with our DD colleagues
of our NGO "Forum for Citizens' Democracy" in
preparing a model of establishing a Direct democratic
system in a contemporary country, memer of the European Union ,
that is Greece, so that we can give you and offer to
WDDM concrete examples of our practices, with independent
works in local authorities and syndicalism, in the
NGO Movements, with legal actions against the
representative system etc.
So, I wish
to invite you to meet us in Aaru , Switzerland (Saturday 4th and
Sunday 5th of October 2008) just after
the works of the Week of Democracy ( look at: www.iri-europe.org), organising a
a separate panel and discussion about the
CICDD ( Continuing International Congress on Direct Democracy) that
celebrates this year its 10th anniversary since the 1st
International Conference in Prague, Pribram (1998), as well as WDDM
affairs( www. world-wide-democray.net) that continues offering its
services to direct democracy worldwide, though its
site and diferent practices among its
members.
PLEASE, ANSWER soon, if
you have an interest to make this
Conference of WDDM members happen,as I am authorised to find
if such an event could take
place!
With kind regards!
