Comment 1 on 1000 citizen yunus forums & Capitalism's Future

Broadly speaking our initial idea is to invite groups of people who before or after the summit wish to announce a collaboration project of relevance to progressing the community and sustainability debates that Dr Yunus and his co-workers and supporters are transforming. I will try snd list some of the groups we are beginning to invite and look forward to suggestions of who we are missing etc. This may also be a good opportunity to profile which types of networks I have connections with through london if you see a group you want to do an international snap with.
