Hi

I gather from Dhaka within 3 years there will be 10000 rural telecentres asking the www to share every solution relevant to the poor half of the world on 6 compasses :

ehealth eagriculture egov e-edu e-finance e-consumer good

at http://www.egrameen.com we invite friends of community up approaches to sustaining the wprld and celebrating humanity to join in

I think this is big -perhaps the biggest attempt to reconnect the www for the people since the early days of Berners Lee's gestation - with most major internet companies agreeing with Yunus and Bill Gates that they havent connected half the world before - which of these 6 topic areas do we already network around at i-genius and can someone map me - eg if we already talk about health - where's the first bookmark to go to and how does one link through it to any others that may be part of the same collaboration search

last night a collaboration tavern of 20 people in new york including various bankers discussed some of yunus' latest happenings http://www.arabianbusiness.com/516350-grameen-banks-muhammed-yunus-first-nobel-laureate-to-address-an-islamic-finance-forum?ln=en Bahrain this week: Yunus is headlining the IIFF, which runs in Dubai from April 13-17, and is being held under the patronage of HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Dubai.In his first address, Yunus said the consequences of the turmoil in credit markets represented an opportunity for the global finance sector to consider its current rules and regulation."It is a good time to reflect on what a bank is and does," said Yunus, speaking to a packed-audience of delegates in Dubai. "If I were to ask for a billion dollars for a good global cause, there would be a lot of uproar - but a trillion dollars down the drain, everyone off still playing golf, and not a word spoken." co-staging keynotes with veolia's water billionnaire next week http://watermeetsmoney.com/ two weeks ago his lunch with President Sarkozy, that leed to the instriuction that france's leading busienss school offers an smba course next fall I am glad to report that it was agreed that colaboration tavern will become a monthly fixture in new york- do add your city to this thread if similar YUnUS happenings are going on
