Thanks Jon and Moses!

It's a bit of a slog at the moment, but I think I'm getting there. I've just finished Switzerland to complete Germanic South, the eighth of the twenty world zones for the more economically developed countries in the world.

Next for apportionment will be Italy, followed by Japan (North) and Japan (South), hopefully before Christmas.

Jon refers to "the next step" - I take that to be the next step after Apportionment of all 20 world zones is complete. The next steps (some of which would ideally be commenced before Apportionment is complete) include:

  1. Getting the right message up on the WWC website at Connectory.org (I've found this difficult: need to be clear who the target audience is and what exactly the website will be inviting them to do and when)
  2. Engaging non profits & NGOs in the WWC idea so that there some current projects are listed for as many of the 2400 List A* areas as possible [* See below]
  3. Development of an Advice on How to Proceed guidance manual to be incorporated into the WWC. (In addition to listing all the partner areas, the Worldwide Connectory will need to contain step by step suggestions about how each partner area might be mobilised into effective action)
  4. Practical solutions to the problems of translation and the rapid promotion of the WWC idea worldwide (including perhaps the development of a development team in each region or large country in the List A areas and for each of the twenty List B world zones)

[* Instead of referring to Richer and Poorer partner areas, as I have previously done, I now think it would be better to refer to the two lists of partner areas as List A and List B.

List A will contain areas of the world where there is little wealth and has been relatively little economic development. Here the residents are happy, miserable, powerless, empowered, resourceful, unadventurous, uneducated, educated, healthy, sick, talented and inspiring.

List B will contain areas of the world where there is much greater wealth and economic development. Here the residents are also happy, miserable, powerless, empowered, resourceful, unadventurous, uneducated, educated, healthy, sick, talented and inspiring.

By linking up each partner area from List A with a partner area from List B, the stage will be set for mutual sharing of physical and non-physical resources and the two-way fostering of friendship, cooperation and sustainable development.]

Ideas about next steps and using the terminology of Lists A & B would be very welcome!
