What we need to vote on so the Campaign for Global Democracy can exist and complete it's AIM

I think we need to refine this definition in the FAQ "How can we make proposals for the movement?"

The reality is that all movements are comprised of individuals and organisations centered on a core idea or principle. Ours is that we believe in democratising global governance. While we should debate our positions on everything regarding our movement, we cannot make decisions on behalf of the movement, no matter how democratic they seem to members of this website. [This seems to be the misunderstanding. WHAT are we making decisions for? Our decisions are only on how this Organization is run, not the world, not implementing a democratized global government. We are creating an Organization which AIM's to “sell” this AIM. First we must decide our AIM which appears to be “democratising global governance.” We must vote on it so we establish this AIM for the organization. Than we establish the Organization with rules and bylaws which support this Aim.] It was with this in mind that the Campaign for Global Democracy was established. A member association, any proposals can be made within the organisation [for the organization] and if agreed by the members, adopted. [The following disclaimer is unnecessary: “However, we cannot claim these positions necessarily represent the wider movement.” We declare this in defining the organizations AIM.] To use an analogy: [I think Greenpeace has a different audience] [I think CGD organization can vote and adopt methods for CDG to decide it's priorities and actions such as making pamphlets, distributing them, how and who does it, contacting schools and organizations, all in a way planned by the CGD organization members to accomplish the AIM of CDG. We make decisions on HOW to accomplish our AIM.] [I would delete all the following:] In the green/environmental movment, there is no decision-making body which says this is the position of the movement. However, the movement is constantly debating its positions and the individuals and organisations within the movement reflect these dynamic changes. Certain organisations, let’s take Greenpeace as an example, will have a decision-making structure and take positions on certain issues. While it is obviously an influential force in the green movement, Greenpeace would not argue that its positions necessarily represent those of the wider movement. This is the position of every movement, and it is for this reason that we, as members of this site, cannot decide for the global democracy ‘movement’. None of this should stop us debating all of our issues, joining organisations/groups and mobilising towards our shared goal: democratising global governance.

I submit this for people to consider, make suggestions. I will submit a shortened virsion later. Bruce
