Amber Lupton, my co-author of Give Peace A Deadline, and I are headed to Prague, Czech Republic soon for the annual Forum 2000 peace conference. Lots of great peacemakers will be there, including Gary Kasparov, the chess grandmaster and current leader of the opposition in Russia.
I am looking forward to speaking with Mike Moore--not the filmmaker, the former head of the World Trade Organization and Prime Minister of New Zealand. I want to see what he has to say about forming a committee to draft the Global Peace Treaty, as well as lots of other advice.
Google is sponsoring a public solicitation to give away $10 million for the best idea that benefits the most people. We will be making a submission and YouTube video by the deadline of Oct 20. Stay tuned, it looks like the public can vote on the best ideas, and you won't want to miss the video.
