Climate change is an issue that absolutely requires a collective solution (we have no option), and this solution must involve and engage a multitude of disparate interests; economic, religious etc. The only way to bridge this differences is to garner initial agreement on a COLLABORATIVE PROCESS. There is no way that we will get consensus on outcomes, but processes is a possibility and this is what we must work towards. I have written a couple of documents that might be of interest and would be greatly interested in talking to you. The documents are: Open System Mobilization Platform: http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=dc4gbgsj_25hqc96xt3&hl=en and Climate Change Collaboration Platform http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dc4gbgsj_71kxq8qhgs&hl=en I can be reached at suresh@strat-insight.com 604-889-8167 Hi Anthony,

In my opinion, it will be the 'use-value' of a mass collaborative project focusing on climate change (or any other topic for that matter) that will drive its uptake and profile - in other words, on what outcome can lots of people collaborate towards that will have near immediate and ubiquitous use-value for the contributors as well as the general public? BTW, I wrote my phd on mass collaboration (just graduated too! http://mark-elliott.net/view/Dissertation - Wikinomics did get discussed) and would love to discuss such potentials more (as well as discussing mass collaboration in general). email: me -AT- mark-elliott.net cheers! mark I think climate change is likely to be the force which brings mass collaboration into the fore and drives its potential (though there are a number of other candidates – peak oil, pandemic, etc).
