Event Description
The Compassionate Action Network is expanding rapidly and strengthening many key relationships. It's time to take the next steps on our global collaboration of a Compassionate Cities initiative.
Our work on Compassionate Seattle was essential to inform our preliminary thinking on what is required to create a compassionate city; we are certainly beginners!
Here is a quick summary:
• We successfully completed the Seattle 10 Year Campaign that that led to the joint proclamation and charter for compassion affirmation by the Mayor and the City Council
• We co-hosted and debriefed the April 24th Compassionate Seattle: It's Up to Us! event
• We engaged in a retreat with our board of stewards and advisers
• We hosted Karma Tshiteem, the secretary of the Gross National Happiness Index Commission from Bhutan
• We have started a Compassion Response Team to evolve community-based responses to conflicts and crises.
We are now ready to focus on strengthening this network of individuals, groups, and organizations interested in a global collaboration focused on creating Compassionate Cities. There is plenty of overlap on our joint creations, thank you for your participation and making all this happen.
WHAT IS A NETWORK OF COMPASSIONATE CITIES?
I propose that we have three 90 minute brainstorming sessions, using GoToMeeting, in which we co-create our vision, mission, and plan for Compassionate Cities for this year. You are welcome to participate in as many calls as you want to. (If you have been on these calls you know that I'm a mind mapper, so we will keep a shared record of what gets brainstormed. We will also record the calls so if anyone wants to view and listen to them after wards.)
GLOBAL TIME ZONES ARE TRICKY
To accommodate the variety of time zones I'm proposing three calls, at very different times. Times shown are in Pacific Standard Time. This event is for
Wednesday June 23 at 1 PM PST. Calls are also taking place on Thursday June 24 at 8 AM PST, and Thursday June 24 at 7 PM PST;
1. Please join my meeting.

Thanks for the notes Jon. Was sorry to have ti sign off so early in the conference and out of town until late last night so missed the next two calls. I agree with your impression that there are amazing people doing remarkable things to create a compassionate world - to the extent that I may continue with the group to further facilitate the globalization of CAN - starting in Canada - please let me know.

We just completed our first brainstorming call focusing on building the network for compassion cities. Here are the notes from that call.There were nine of us on the call. And one more time I'm reminded that there are amazing people doing remarkable things to create a compassionate world. There will be two more calls tomorrow June 24th ; one at 8 AM PDT and another at 7:30 PM PDT. We hope you can join us.

Is this videoconference via Skype or just a conference call? I have both capabilities.

Jon - Is the Seattle time zone now Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) rather than Pacific Standard Time (PST)? I think the difference is due to daylight savings time.
Btw, there's some weird "end_of_the_skype_highlighting" text above.
