Atlas City Project

On Saturday November 5, 2011, at 10:30 AM PST (6:30 PM GMT) a Technate Consortium conference was held with attendance by:

> Atlas Initiative Group, Inc. , EOS (European Organization of Sustainability), The NZP (New Zealand Project)

Atlas is a consortium member and attended online at UNLV room 218 Open to the Public (Oversight in attendance was Chase D, Joshua A and Brett A)

The following was resolved as a Technate Consortium:

1) The Technate Consortium is a consortium of members who are working together to accomplish similar goals and through cooperation will share concepts, ideas and plans
These goals include:
a) sharing of opportunities including grant information that may benefit other members
b) sharing land purchase opportunities with price, place and size of land
c) sharing of production collaboration opportunities for resource collaboration and consortium exchange opportunities
d) share the concept of human rights, with free access to home, energy, food, healthcare, education and labor
e) each member is building their version of a resource based economy which meaning may differ from that of Jacque Fresco but is similar enough to work together for this cause
f) each member is seeking a non-monetary society, with advanced use of technology and seeks to reduce and optimize human labor
g) members assist and support other member organizations as possible
2) The Technate Consortium will meet quarterly with its members in a conference to share its status and progress and conduct other business as desired
The next Technate Consortium Conference will by January 21, 2012 at 8:00 AM PST (5:00 PM GMT)
Time will be based on GMT
3) The Techante Consortium consists of 10 current members whom are all welcome to attend and participate in the conferences
Before the next conference, a better online meeting forum will be sought to better accommodate our conference
Each group may promote the conference in their respective geographic areas including attendance by the general public
4) Each member should provide a links on their website to the Technate Consortium, the Technate Consortium may include web-pages for each member with links back to the members

Speaking of, how long does it take for our forum posts to be posted on technate.eu? I've been checking for a few hours and no update on the Technate cross-thread page.

Though the Atlas book has been done since the new year, I've been in disagreements with the agency that accepted the work. They want lots of money to edit it (their fee) before taking it to publishers. Good thing about publishing is it would reach much farther. Still considering self publishing just to get it out there, but can't until I get someone to draw the cover. So pretty much whichever works out first.

We have a Technate Consortium Meeting Today at 9:00 AM PST or 16:00 GMT (with 11 Consortium Member Groups around the world).
