AMENDS co-director Meredith Wheeler, a sophomore, said that after the conference ends she hopes the organization will continue to be an incubator for the kinds of ideas and initiatives that shape the future of the Middle East.
'I hope that people take out a renewed sense of confidence in their ability to be change agents in their country of origin,' she said. 'And I hope that they developed the kind of network both with the people at Stanford and with the other delegates to really make their ideas a reality.'"
Woah! This type of summit should also include OWS, Anonymous vs. Scientology, and others who utilized similar tools and methods. I hope this interaction grows.
Internet Collective Action is people organizing in a nonhierarchical manner to accomplish a particular goal. The reward is in the doing, and how much or how little anyone participates is completely voluntary, depending on their abilities and commitment to the goal. By this process amazing things can be accomplished. ICA will grow so long as the Internet is free. http://www.lisamcpherson.org/pc.htm is an example of ICA.
