"Emergent Dynamic Governance Ecosystems (EDGE project)"

The idea is to associate organizations with proven commitment to ecological and social well-being to collectively study patterns of regulation, decision-making and control mechanisms used in a set of 8 different regions (cultural regions?), and use the shared decision making processes and information systems to achieve common goals, holding governments and corporations accountable, growing into new multi-scale governance structure:

The submission is a proposal for increasing the world’s governance variety, in order to enhance the wellbeing of all species. Formed as an __action learning organisation in eight regions that models the regulations, decision-making paths, control mechanisms and appointment processes that it wants to research and propagate more widely. The organization is ++open to institutions++ at any level, ++with proactive engagement of research, business and civil society organizations with proven commitment to ecological and social well-being++__. The EDGEs - assemblies of organisations, networks and initiatives - use shared decision making processes and information systems to achieve common goals and hold governments and corporations to account. They are to gradually evolve into a global network of multi-scalar EDGEs able to operate from community to international scales. The submission takes example from NGOs and technology platforms showing certain of the characteristics of evolving organizations with emergent features.
