[edit] Mission
The mission of this wiki is to enable communities to create a better world.
[edit] Vision
Government wiki will create a world of communities with shared visions for a better world.
[edit] Why a government wiki?
The world has formidable numbers to contend with: 6.5 billion people, 1.27 quadrillion BTU energy used every day, 130 million cubic meters of water to be delivered every day, 325 billion kilometers of movement of people to be managed every day, 8 million tones of solid wastes to be collected, removed and processed every day, 13 petabytes (1 petabyte is 1,000,000,000,000,000 bytes OR 1015 bytes) of information to be processed every day!
More than 193 countries in the world, some of them having dozens of states or provinces and thousands of towns and villages. Tens of thousands of governments and hundreds of thousands of departments.
That is a massive control system to deal with a world on the edge of chaos. It is beyond any well-intentioned government to manage the formidable challenges of our times.
Chaordic (the intersection of chaos and order — see dee Hock or visa ) organizations are organizations with a common purpose and principle — participants take what they like and what works for them. A wiki provides the chaordic framework to help the community to work to common purposes.
Don't forget: this is a wiki to help the community to create a better world for everyone.
This wiki hopes to transform the governance space into a live chaordic community — it will encourage discovery of common purpose, learning of best practice, global citizenry and local responsibility.
[edit] What will the wiki contain?
This wiki will provide a single point for communities to share purpose, missions and practices for local and global governance.
The wiki will include articles for government departments for different countries, states and towns across the world. It will include information on:
- the constitution,
- purpose,
- mission,
- vision,
- offices,
- indicators of performance.
- history or timeline of people in office,
- budgets,
- functions,
- projects,
- suggestions,
- polls.
You should be able to create or edit pages specific to villages, town, state and federal government departments for regions of your interest. On this wiki each topic is named according to the full legal geographical name of the region. So for example:
- France would be named as France (countryname)
- California would be named as USA_California (countryname_statename)
- New Delhi would be named as India_Delhi_NewDelhi (countryname_statename_villageOrTownname)
- The Department of Education of the State of New York would be named as USA_NewYork_DepartmentOfEducation (geographicalRegionName_DepartmentName)
The idea is to get the community to evolve the purpose, mission, document critical issues, performance and create a chaordic model of governance from a Neutral Point of View of wiki.
