Im in Round 2! Can You Help Me Make the Top 10

Im in Round 2! Can You Help Me Make the Top 10 As I mentioned in my last entry, Change.org is running a competition thatll propel 10 ideas to the fore of the next administrations agenda. In Round 1, people came up with 7,783 ideas. Only 87 (about 1%) made it to Round 2, and the idea to Establish a Global Challenges Wikipedia to Empower Problem Solvers was among them! I owe that victory to you, and now Im counting on you to get this idea into the Top 10. Lets send a message, loud and clear, that we dont need to rely on dishonest voting tactics to win, as others in the competition have weve shown that we can win the old-fashioned way, and we can do so again. IDEA The proposed wiki would describe the following for every pressing global challenge such as climate change and weapons proliferation: [1] What successful and failed policies have been deployed to address it in the past; [2] What measures need to be taken to move forward; [3] Which international institutions, governments, businesses, NGOs, and individuals are addressing the challenge in question, and how; [4] What networks exist between these players; and [5] What coordinated steps these players can take to collaborate effectively without replicating each others efforts, wasting precious resources, and, worst of all, undermining each other in the quest to gain recognition for their work. This proposal is doubtless ambitious, and its an idea that needs to be refined and tested. If its implemented correctly, though, it could serve as a powerful tool in the fight against every global challenge.
