Hello, everybody! I have read
Ottorino´s paper and find it in line with our

join the Committee, I believe we should elect him chairman. The reasons are
obvious: his great dedication and experience, his important social position
which would help us to get publicity - and we need that! He is a brilliant
speaker and thinker. So, please, consider my proposal.
Greetings Jiri

As requested by the Forming Committee, Jiri and I
were requested to work out
an edited version of our Founding Document and Mission Statement. Under
separate cover, I am sending my version to Jiri. When we are both satisfied
with the text, we will send it to you to vote for approval. After that , I
recommend to send it to the Pericles Network, the CICDD,
and to disseminate
it, through as many servers and WEB-sites as we could, for information .
Keep well: George Sagi.

Dear George Kokkas , and Committee members:
I suggest to any and all members of the Committee that if you want to propose specific items regarding the final form if the documents Jiri and I are working on to bring them into a proper English language documents then please do so soon. I promised you that my version will be ready for your scrutiny by the end of this month. Jiri is also working on it. You will vote on it formally when it is in an acceptable form.
I can tell you already that I deleted specific references to Mautner's book, and the Greek Forum's, in my proposed version. However, I have attempted to incorporate their major principles as well as all of your written ideas in your presentations during the 2nd Congress and after, circulated by email.
Again, if you want to pre-empt our work, send your proposals point by point, in brief and concise sentences, as the original Founding Mission was written .
We also have to work out other documents, a Rules of Conduct, including membership and voting rules, before we can vote.
Thank you: George Sagi

Subject: [wddm-list] Re: Structure of the WDDM C committee
Dear
Jiri, I think that we all should try to find alternative ways of
Structure for our WDDM ,other than using the traditional forms and names, such
as Chairman, President, Secretary etc.
I suppose that we can try initially the work and experience of a
collective chairmanship. It can be consisted of 3-5 persons and it
maybe could be the ideal solution for the already proposed permanent
Executive members of our formal Organization.
In case of accepting the 5-persons chairmanship of our WDDM,
everyone should have his own responsibilities, duties and capacities.
For instance in our case, you could be officially authorized (as it has
been already proposed and accepted) to have the responsibility of the
Secretariat, George Sagi could be nominated ( I think he also accepted
it) to be
our official spokesman, Senator Gravel ( if he first joins our WDDM and be
accepted by our majority , could probably be responsible for our foreign (or
even public or whatever else he can and wishes to do) relations or coordinator,
another person could be authorized
as responsible for our Statutes and Structure affairs and one more responsible
for our Financial affairs
This is my proposal and I would like if
Pino could put it
in our electronic voting procedure, giving
us also the chance of voting persons to be responsible for the above capacities
at once. I think it is VERY IMPORTANT to begin with DD procedures for
everything we try to establish in order to persuade everybody that we are&n bsp;
nor a common formal Organization
, but a DD Alternative Organization.
I agree with your proposal of having in a worldwide
level a maximum of 12 members of this Executive WDDM Committee and the rest 7
members could rotate , when we increase ourselves and we will have more DD
supporters, who will have the Knowledge of DD,
good will and who will be serious to cooperate
with us, accepting also our principles.
Friendly: George Kokkas
