Our planet is in the middle of an unprecedented, epic transition that will result in the emergence of a new human and new world. The options for humanity are clear: either wait out the process and see how it emerges or engage in the design and manifestation of the new world such that both the evolution and new world are as benign, smooth, and effective as possible.<\/p>\n

In the face of the greatest shift in history either we can actively engage or not.<\/p>\n

The benefits of engagement are significant.<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  • The transition almost certainly would be smoother with less pain and disruption<\/li>\n
  • We could actively design the new world in terms that directly met obvious needs and opportunities<\/li>\n
  • Participating in the process would focus participants on a positive future rather than the rapidly imploding world around them \u2013 providing hope in a time of chaos<\/li>\n
  • The entrainment of significant numbers of people, all working towards a common goal would accelerate the manifestation of the new world<\/li>\n
  • A broad-based group of constituents for building a new world would emerge who would then be the natural residents and leaders of the new world that emerges<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

    This is a high-level design of a major project, TransitionNet, that will facilitate the global transition to a new world by providing the framework for mobilizing large numbers of change-agents from across the planet in an unprecedented effort to systematically design \u2013 and ultimately build \u2013 a desired future.<\/p>\n

    We believe that a new world is aborning \u2013 it will arrive in any case.<\/p>\n

    But the transition to the unknown, but inevitable new world can be actively shaped and designed through a bottom-up, emergent process that will harvest the best ideas from the global crowd and in the process organize an international community that will be the first residents of the new world they have helped to envision.<\/p>\n

    Therefore, what is proposed here is a global initiative to rapidly engage in a broad-based series of efforts designed to play a significant, influential role in the transition to and emergence of a new human and new world.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    OBJECTIVE<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Establish, enable and facilitate the emergence of a global network of local groups that works directly on birthing a new world through a series of initiatives designed to ultimately provide the intellectual framework and architecture and resource base upon which it evolves.<\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    STRATEGIC CONCEPT (Phase I)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    1. Identify pivotal, Transition Issues that are central to the transition to a new world<\/p>\n

    2. Organize a distributed network of Transition Teams that are actively working on new approaches to
    the \u201ctransition issues\u201d<\/p>\n

    3. Develop a web-based community\/collaborative app <\/strong>to facilitate the development and operation of the transition teams<\/p>\n

    4. Produce biennial conferences <\/strong>that will allow cell members to physically come together<\/p>\n

    5. Develop a self-funding platform which will guarantee the economic viability of the initiative<\/p>\n

    6. Constitute a Global Transition Network of select thinkers and wise people to provide oversight for the TransitionNet initiative<\/p>\n

    7. Produce a global community of \u201ctransitioneers\u201d who are key prospects for participating in the New World Game that actively engages in the design of the new world (Phase II)<\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    PROCESS<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    This plan will:<\/p>\n

    1. Utilize the efforts of various leaders through their respective online content, to bring together a critical mass of individuals who want to participate in helping to build the new world.<\/p>\n

    2. Use the blogs and associated activities to develop a small set of Transition Issues that represent the largest, most important and most pressing hinge-subjects that must be effectively addressed to facilitate the effective transition.<\/p>\n

    What needs to be in place to enable the emergence of a new world? Examples:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • New concepts<\/li>\n
    • New values<\/li>\n
    • New tools<\/li>\n
    • New perspectives<\/li>\n
    • Potential problems<\/li>\n
    • Assumptions<\/li>\n
    • Possible contextual change<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      3. Provide direction for the start-up of local Transition Teams (TT) around the world who are active participants in the transition process. Each TT is organized around addressing a single Transition Issue. Members of the teams become the engine for the evolutionary facilitation process.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

      4.\u00a0 Use the \u201cwisdom of the crowd\u201d of the Transition Teams, operating both independently and in tandem with other TTs addressing common Transition Issues, to generate broad-based options for addressing the most pivotal issues related to the transition process.<\/p>\n

      5.\u00a0 Design a web-based application that enables both social interaction among the participants and provides a \u201ccollaboration\u201d platform specifically crafted to facilitate the development of international conversations around the transitional issues<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

      The app will:<\/p>\n
