Our Brief History:
1984: Our chief Economist & Entrepreneurial Revolutionary first scripted Extreme Poverty as 21st C mankind's greatest risk – links 1 2

2003 The name Global University got coined in discussions at the Ecademy at a time when this was the most diverse free network for serious discussions (people from Pakistan, India, Russia, Indonesia and many other countries seemed to echo Global University as good name)

2004 we started in various forms including blog and egroup- basically we asked any member to declare at least one poverty concern they'd share for life with us

dec 2005- our blog was one of a hundred subject to the infamous google meltdown; we'll recover what we can up to end of 2005 but don't expect all links to work or tidy layout

2006 we're not giving up but its a time for reappraisal - we closely tracked 2005 as the year that launched 9000 NGOs collaborating under the Make Poverty History Banner, and G8 leaders with their commision for Africa, and pop stars with their summer band-festivals- its very unclear whether a year on all these good-natured efforts have begun to halt what Queen Elizabeth in her Christmas message voiced as humanity turing on itelf (admittedly 2005 brought its own extra tragedies -some like the Tsunami seemed random in dating; some like the 7/7 bombings in London need to make all goodhearted folk redouble our zeal as a collaboration knowledge city)

we will work closely with correspondents from Club of City, Village, DeathofDistance, Open Space Races, Water Angels and many more co-editors of weblogs
