This last Friday, August 24, 2007 we formalized REDI as a non-profit organization for the purpose of pursuing targeted currency solutions to problems faced by communities within the Denver Metropolitan Region.

There are a number of opportunities and issues that we would like to discuss in public so as to have "transparency in decision making" and take advantage of the knowledge pool available in networked environments.

1.  We have adopted bylaws_ designed for asynchronous participation of the Board of Directors and this is an experiment in how those bylaws work.

2.  We are interested in helping stimulating the conversation_, "What can We do to make Our community a better place to live?" as a way to attract groups of people interested in implementing targeted currency solutions.

3.  We are interested in how groups promoting local production for local consumption can use targeted currencies to help build communities that will be stable in the face of economic and environmental change.

4.  We are interested in how targeted currencies can help the disadvantaged in our communities to make increasing contribution to the wellbeing of the community in exchange for an increasing quality of life.

We thank the NetworkWeavers for sponsoring our conversation here.
