What Transformations Could Better Organize the World?

Re-scheduled for Bangkok, Thailand, Friday, Saturday March 28, 29, 2003

Such financial rewards might be even greater than those won by Alexander, Napoleon, Hitler, or others who tried to conquer the world because of their ambitions for wealth, power, or fame. The fruit of world federalism is so nearly ripe that humanity must cope with the hazard that, before a teamwork coordinator could pluck the ripe fruit of federalization, some Hitler-type of power leader might exploit the situation for creating a global tyranny without Napoleon’s militarism. The world might be gently conquered by an ambitious tyrant concerned primarily with personal power, crippling humanity for centuries. Gentle voluntarism desirably might win!

Home Rule Globally[HRG] is a think tank assuming that there will be drastic reorganization of the world prior to 2100. HRG focuses on the altruism, honesty, and administrative skills of the members of the Cabinet for the Initial Administration of the Supra-National Emancipating Federation [SNEF]. Each century should have the opportunity for liberating itself by using prolonged debates about alternatives through competitive ratification of a set of constitutions near the end of each century. Politics and tyranny are likely to result when a constitution evolves as if it were a statute. A constitution should be a more durable framework for government, with assurance that the amendment procedure will be used instead of "stretching" or "ignoring" segments of the constitution.

The process of ratification of a Proposal for a SNEF needs to be quite independent from either traditional international law or national political parties. Each nation is entitled to assume, up until within about a year of the Ratification Day [RD] launching of SNEF that the existing treaty system is perennial. Distortion of issues occurs if political parties, large organized religions, or other gigantic groups

are significantly involved. HRG contends that adequate discussion in small groups discerns meritocracy with greater wisdom. HRG offers the Contest Appraising Voluntary Emancipating World Government [CAVEWG] as a tiny entity available to help launch each of a plurality of alternative Proposals for a SNEF, and to maintain reliable records concerning the rejection or endorsement of such Proposals by various entities. Each Proposal would need to be as complete as the Federation of Earth Constitution [FEC] but more likely to win global consensus.

HRG defines a Teamwork Coordinator as one who, prior to 2003, devoted at least 60 hours voluntarily to some charitable project, and who during the last 60 months has not been an employee of the treaty system, national political party, or religious hierarchy. HRG defines wealthy as the capacity for world travel without subsidy. HRG estimates that there are more than a million Wealthy Teamwork Coordinators. HRG encourages the formation of Campaigning Cabinets having from 5 to 15 Wealthy Teamwork Coordinators who are sufficiently congenial to either draft a Proposal for a SNEF or hire experts to do so. Each Campaigning Cabinet would sponsor a unique Proposal. HRG charges fees for processing Proposals through appropriate stages such as for advancing beyond stages such as 5%, 25%, and 50% Triad Power, a measure of population, military, and economic power.

HRG estimates that it will cost between a billion and a trillion dollars of advertising to educate people sufficiently to achieve a SNEF. Incentives exist for accelerating federalization because each month of delay costs humanity about a billion dollars and the needless deaths of about a million people. Because only honest altruistic Teamwork Coordinators would be participating in the fair competition, CAVEWG aspires to regulate all advertising campaigns to stress meritocracy. CAVEWG could only be a good example prior to Ratification Day, but thereafter SNEF could impose very severe fines on any entities, government or otherwise, violating the fairness rules during the contest. CAVEWG could advance to RD with fewer violations than have been typical in elections in some democratic nations. Stimulating trust is the essence of the CAVEWG program. Success requires an appropriate snowballing of trust. All of the expense and effort devoted to CAVEWG would be worthwhile if data were gathered permitting experts to draft a Proposal more likely to win global consensus. After it was obvious just what kind of a package could win global support, some politicians might seek to by-pass CAVEWG through an Official Constitutional Convention. Only widespread trust in CAVEWG could frustrate such by-passing. Trying to launch CAVEWG seems to be worth the effort, notwithstanding the unknowability about the future.

All hope is based upon the reliability of the altruism, honesty, and character of the Wealthy Teamwork Coordinators participating in the fair search for the SNEF that could best meet human needs. Saints whose previous administrative achievements were altruistic are less likely to abuse power. After the Initial Administration, some reversion to "politics as usual" seems likely, thus decreasing

the opposition from some groups having significant power currently. Politicians expect to be "out of power" during some segments of their career as a result of "moments of reform". The Establishments that are the puppet manipulators for many politicians can be educated to recognize that the risks of CAVEWG are far less than the risks of prolonging the status quo.

Within the family, congregations, and some other small groups, there is already the upward allocation of sovereignty from the sovereign individual. CAVEWG attempts to extend such upward direction of allocation of sovereignty to the galaxial level. Each nation would achieve greater true autonomy, but would be de-fanged and abandon the downward allocation of sovereignty from nations pretending to be absolutely sovereign. Such tradition prevents each nation from focusing on its proper role of clarifying national culture. Although the transfromation to a SNEF through CAVEWG would be drastic, it would be a win-win situation for substantially everyone.

A Proposal for SNEF could qualify for winning through CAVEWG only if it was ratified by nations aggregating at least 67% of the world’s population, 67% of the world’s military power, and 67% of the world’s economic power, called Triad Power. As soon as any Proposal had the net support of at least 25% Triad Power, then its Campaigning Cabinet members would be obligated to make commitments to serve in the Initial Administration if their Proposal won the contest. Each such "credible" Campaigning Cabinet would have members from at least 5 of the 6 occupied continents. Nations would judge their trustworthiness as fair administrators

On about the fourth Peace Day after Ratification Day, SNEF would pay refunds, with interest at 0.5% per month, to all entities that had made intra-national donations to local Campaigning Committee either for or against any Proposal ultimately gaining such credible status. Wealthy Teamwork Coordinators would be risking their funds in promoting a Proposal until it achieved Credibility Status, but thereafter could be assured that such disbursements were a wise investment, even if the Proposal lost the contest. All donors would have similar opportunities. Some of the other birthing costs that SNEF might pay might include: [a] underemployment insurance to all entities adversely affected by federalization; [b] payments to nations for any facilities transferred to SNEF; and [c] assumption of primary obligation for all pre-2003 governmental indebtedness.

In 2003 the disagreement about what formula for weighted voting in a World Parliament could win global consensus is based partly upon the inadequacy of data significantly pertinent to what kind of federalization would stimulate adequate enthusiasm. SNEF would merely be a supplement for, not a replacement for the UN. Whatever governance could effectively be managed under traditional international law could continue. Moreover, it is essential that each hold-out nation be permitted to stay out of SNEF until it voluntarily chooses to seek the benefits attributable to participating in SNEF. -3-

Anything that significantly decreases opposition to joining SNEF has far greater impact that factors increasing the incentive to join. All opponents to federalization must be fully persuaded that they were fairly defeated in the political contest concerning federalization. No federalization resulting from any conspiracy could long endure. To survive, the campaigns for SNEF must have a transparency and honesty completely inconsistent with either political campaigns or traditional international law. Unprecedented trust is essential for the launching of SNEF.

Although a million Wealthy Teamwork Coordinators are scattered around the world, and the world could be "turned upside down" by a few groups of five helping to launch CAVEWG, developing good communication between Wealthy Teamwork Coordinators and HRG is not a simple task. That is why HRG pleas to have this message passed along grapevine fashion by any person who admires the aspirations for launching CAVEWG. HRG charges a $50 fee for enrolling on the Roster of Candidates for Campaigning Cabinets. Until 2004, any package of five Enrollees can be submitted for a single $50 fee, thus giving organizations having appropriate Boards of Directors an opportunity to make a $200 profit by recruiting such a group. HRG will maintain confidential the data on the Roster, but serve as a liaison for entrepreneurs seeking to organize a Campaigning Cabinet. For more than 8 years, HRG has been managed, with the guidance of a cooperative Board, by John and Marjorie Ewbank, who have been reform-activists and married for more than 62 years.

The form for enrolling on the Roster of Candidates for Campaigning

Cabinets also is useful for those registering for a Conference March 28-29 in Bangkok, Thailand. Enrollees will be notified of other HRG sponsored Conferences. Such form is useful long after the March Conference, but is merely a curiosity except in the hands of the targeted audience, that is individuals who qualify as Wealthy Teamwork Coordinators.
