Define Topics for the Think Tank and Conduct a Google+ Hangout Once you have defined your

current need, (i.e. Marketing, business advice, PR, volunteers, team members) post your invitation to connect on your Google+ calendar. Create an Event to do a Google+ Hangout think tank session. Choose goals to work towards within a time frame using online video as a primary means of communication with working teams no greater than eight people. If this figure is reached, create a sub team. Within each community, there will be different types of circles which include: Research and Development: to assess current levels of performance and to determine resources and methods of achieving goals Innovation Entrepreneurs: who take R&D to the next level and develop working models to reach goals and priorities Correspondents: who communicate within the network of teams inside as well as between separate communities: Distribution, Education, Energy, Food & Water, Freedom, Health, Justice Recorders: who highlight the Bright Spots and report processes and events in video, text and pictures; showcase what is working well in your workplace and community Crowd Fund Operators: who begin crowdfunding campaigns on behalf of a self-governing community at www.anideanation.com

An Idea Nation Global Think Tank Principles: We see no separation between us; what you do affects me and vice versa. We first share, borrow, trade and explore all resources available before outsourcing for capital. We foster businesses that are sustainable using co-operative models. We are transparent, open and honest in our practices (accounting, books and communication). We are accountable to one another to uphold our values and global priorities We believe in people before profits as we focus on the holistic wellness of our members first. We crowdsource and use crowdfunding for community and business needs. We provide exceptional quality services as well as products that are made to last.

Code of ethics: If you have an issue with a member, go speak to that member first and try to work out your differences before engaging a correspondent to work with you towards a resolution. Eliminate negative talk or unproductive chit-chat Make sure to always source out a communitys needs from the broader global communities prior to crowdfunding Once teams vote and agree that they have exhausted all possible resources within their community and others, and it is found that a need cannot be filled by borrowing, sharing or gifting, use crowd funding.

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. Margaret Mead
