Mr. Suziki,
I have reviewed your website, and I think the concentration of your efforts should be to determine how you are going to achieve world government in a world of so many competing interests. Please review my webpage at http://weber.u.washington.edu/~rbiondi
and review the reasons why the American Committee on Foreign Relations refused to support the world federalist resolution in 1950. These are the same reasons why world government has not been achieved. If you figure out how to overcome these obstacle, you will be remembered for a long time.

Mr. Suzuki,
Yours is the most sensible and realistic proposal I have seen on this or any
other world government list. I have read your position with great interest
and find it to be a most grassroot kind of idea on this not so grassroot
list. Noone but you has mentioned anything about getting the actual people
of the world "involved" in the process. That idea seems to appear "bizarre"
to many intellectuals around here. I also applaud your insight in regards to
the democratic process required to set up a democratic world government. It
would seem obvious, one would think, but not so, apparently!
Exactly who elected all those "delegates" who had intended to show up in
Andorra purporting to represent "Whatever?" Who are they to set up a
provisional parliament? Only the people have that power. Exactly which
electorate was it that sent presentatives to write such mindnumbing drivel as
the "Constitution of the Federation of Earth?"
I find it ironic that it was the gentleman from Japan who discovered the
missing link in most of the current proposals for world government. Good
Grief! Someone forgot the People!
Perhaps the people might like a say in who is writing the document that is to rule their lives?
While political parties have their own drawbacks, it is difficult to imagine
in this day and age, what other entities would be more capable of getting
people involved in something as complex as explaining the need for world
government.
I would also suggest to you that the differences between the parties
advocating the need for a world government need not be artificial
or contrived. A natural division would be the advocacy of parliamentary world
democracy vs a constitutional republican world democracy as practiced in the
United States, with a strong executive and three independent branches of
government.

There is a very good reason for this, it is because the People have
shown that they can't rule themselves effectively without a strong
central type of government. If they do go for self rule they tend to
tribalize and more easily go to war, and in a world government we
don't want that.

As Henry Ford had said that the average person needs to be looked
after in regards to ruling themselves.

In all cases it is truly not the People themselves who are doing the
ruling.

Alex,
I find it quite insulting. If you have paid any attention to my writings
here and the ones on the web you would have known that this democratic
approarch is at the core of my proposals. Further more the Association to
Unite the Democracies is currently also in the opinion a grassroots
democratic process is needed.
I'm very happy to see this approach is spreading and would very much be
interested in working with Mr. Suzuki and the organization in Japan in
helping to bring such an organization or maybe chain of different
organizations about.
I will re-summerize my standing on the issue for those who have not had the
chance to read it yet:
1. elieve the construction of the structure of a WG has to precede any
aproval or decision on a constitution although it is never a bad idea to
have people working on proposals already (like the WCPA).
2. The WG organization should resemble an international corporation rather
then the UN. It should be an NGO (non-governmental organization) in all
democratic countries. Borders should not play a role in it in any different
way then they play for comercial organizations, they have proven the
effectivness of this approach.
3. Each local organization should organize itself for independent elections
for a selected delegate or team of delegates to a WG in free nationwide
local elections. In other words, Japan's WG party would put up abn election
system for Japan alone. The elections would be sponsored by fund raising
and foundations and would be possibly linked timewise to the national
elections. Here comes the fun part though.
Until this system has enough critcal mass to be set up the Japanese WG
party, for example, would run for the recular local Japnese elections.
This of course would take away from votes to the big parties and pressure them
to assist in setting up the alternative parallel elections system as
suggested above. At the same time it would not be a problem for the WG
party since its relative power in the local elections would not be the main
concern but rather the selection of a team to represent the population in a
future WG initial assembly. It would also bring the WG issue to the fore
front of the public awareness world wide.
4. The WG would in fact become a federation of all the independent elected
delegations directly elected by the people. (Very clear and simple)
5. I believe the final goal should be a vote per person no matter where
they are in the world but it is clear this will have to be buffered in a
gradual manner to allow the equalization of humanity everywhere through
education rather then redistribution of wealth in an undemocratic manner.
6. In the future I see a computerized system of publicly accessible voting
stations which will work by proxy. If you do not vote on a law your
relative power goes directly to the delegate you elected. If on the other
hand you wish to vote on a specific bill and can answer a basic
computerized test about it, your vote is subtracted from the delegate and
entered directly for you. This type of scheme will be possible in the
future and will be the only solution for a republic/democracy hybrid.
7. I do believe about 50% of the military resources of the joining
countries should eventually be centralized under a WG. This will reduce the
overall spenditure of nations who are part of the WG as less overhead and
duplication would be needed. Therefore I forsee a voluntaree move towards
this in the future as the WG has proven itself and gained trust.
8. All this will be applicable only to democratic countries where local
election can be held. This would mean pressure on isolated dictatorships to
democratize and join if the union would prove beneficial economicaly.
9. I do not rule out a bi camel house where the nations would still be
represented and I do think it would be smart to adopt the UN expert
external committees as they are doing an excelent job as far as research
and consulting is concerned.
10. The WG should as a federal government be concerned with the well being
of the people of earth but intervene as little as possible in local issues,
just as the US government minimizes its interference with the states and
the states do not interfere with the municipalities.
Those are my main points.

Dear Sir,

I am afraid of surprising you by sending a mail suddenly. But I would like to express my opinion on your activity. In the incident of Japanese ambassador's mansion, some people lost their lives. I feel very sad. In the communique #16 on your home page, you declared to continue the fight. I think your way is not the best way. Here, I would like to propose a different way. I have opened a home page for the establishment of World Government,
Title: World Government Institute
URL: http://www.justnet.or.jp/home/toshio-suzuki/.
This is a private institute focused on the establishment of the World Government. The basic thought is written in the paper Toshio Suzuki, "International Party for the World Government." It is to establish the international party with a headquarter party in one country and a branch party in each country. I would like you to visit my site, read my paper, and give me a comment.
By the way, I have read some of your communiques, you wrote that the government is conducting the State Terrorism, But Mr. Fujimori became the president by the election. Why don't you try the same way? Or did the president Fujimori change the constitution and refuse the next election? I read somewhere that the president Fujimori changed the constitution and refuses the democratic election. But Japanese news papers and TV do not make this point clear. And your home page also does not emphasize this point while emphasizing the situation of your people in prison. As you wrote in your communiques, there must be the justice in the politics. There is a justice in the election. In case of Japan, about 20 years ago, there were some illegal political fights, mainly based on the university students, against the government. But now, Japan is peaceful because people insist their opinions and rights through the election. You should make this point clear. Because, people outside Peru can not know this point.

Yours sincerely,
Toshio Suzuki

Dear mr. Toshio Suzuki
Your idea is very interesting. I would though like to tell you that
there allready exists several parties whos main work is to establish a world government.
So you should work together with them instead. Your analysis of the peruvian situation is very bad. You analyse other
countries political, social and economic situation in terms and opinions of a japanese, but you must remember latin america is not japan ! Latin america is bleeding from the wounds of USA imperialism, Japan imperialism and european imperialism (thru the liberalisation of the world market - but only for Japan, USA and Europe). I my self am danish, and if I allso analysed the peruvian situation in terms as a dane, I too would conclude MRTA was wrong. But you cant do that ! There is no democrazy in Latin America, there is no socail justice and there is no future either: the WTO is not interested in creating a stabil market in favor of the latian american people, but only a supply line of oil, minerals and working force to the industrialised countries. Therefore the armed struggle is necessesary. If this argumentation did not convice you I encourage you to understand the Japanese situation about the opening of Japan with the struggle between capt. Perry, the different Shogun's and the more liberal young Samurais (about 1850 - 1920). Japans situation had to change, but the ones in power were to stubborn to change anything - therefore the only possibility was armed struggle.

Hello Mr. Suzuki
I am done studying the article on your site. I was both pleased and
surprized to notice a huge resemblence to my long standing WG Working
Papers. I wish more organizations and individuals would adopt this stance
since I belive it does have an internal logic needed to startup any
"buisness". If the dynamics of the environment are lined up against you,
your buisness is destined to fail. If on the otherhand it all works in your
favor because the nature of ther associated pressures, you stand a much
better chance.
However pleased I was to read this in your words, I would very much
appreciate if you referenced my Working Papers in your article. Currently
there is no mention of your source.
I hope to work with you further on this issue in coordination. This month
is especially critical to me as far as my involvement in the movement is
concerned. On the 24th I will hopefully address the board of the
Association to Unite the Democracies in Washington DC and try to persuade
them to be more outgoing in their activities and support a working plan I
have drafted. If this doesn't work I will probably resort to my initial
plan, starting a new organization. I did not do so till now since the legal
and logistic demands on doing so are not trivial. I would much prefer if an
organization which already has a base and fund raising mechanism, and is
essentialy so close to my philosophy, would adopt this program.
I will update everybody here with the results of my meeting.

Hi again, Mr. Suzuki,
I trust you to make the correction, as far as referencing me, in the near futue.
As far as the WFA, I do not know the stance of the Japanese chapter on WG but the main WFA group in the USA are totaly centered on world federation by UN reform and the small core of people who are in favor of a true WG (called FEDEM) is headed in the way of ratification of such a body by the nation-states. I do believe I should appeal to this group and Mr. Rose who is at the head of it but I have a feeling it would not be very helpfull.
As far as the Japanese activity goes:
There is a very big sect in Japan, the Suko Gakai, who are a very special Budist group. The believe in a world unification is at the core of their belief system and they have been noted to be quite influential in moder Japan's poliyics. I'm not sure if their involvement is more of a blessing or of a curse because their sect structure has been quite a controversal one. As far as I know they have never been involved in any activism towards a WG and so far they were content in offering support to the UN (moneytery and political).
See if you can check it out and maybe meet their spiritual leader if you conclude that their involvement would be to the benefit of such a movement.

Dear Mr Suzuki,
I fully agree with you that, "Only the support of people can establish and maintain the World Government". You propose to establish international parties. Who is going to establish them and when? Will you be establishing them, at least in your country? Then you propose to conduct elections. Who will conduct these elections? Will the government of a country conduct these elections; will it agree to do so; or how can it be forced to do that? If the elections are conducted by someone else, who is it; from where will it get funds; and are you sure that people will vote in these elections? It is also not clear what will be the powers of World Government vis-a-vis national governments. I will be glad if you can answer these questions. It will be still better if you indicate in your paper the steps in forming the World Government, who will do it, what are the problems in doing it, and how will they be overcome.

Dear Mr. Agrawal,

Thank you for your mail. I remembered India where I studied in Delhi School of Economics, University of Delhi from 1985 to 1987. I heard that international conference of WFM (maybe) will be held in India next year. I may see you there.
I reply to your question. First of all, I assume you mean the paper "International Party for the World Government."

question: Who is going to establish them and when?
answer: My paper was disclosed on 1 may 1997. So it is on the stage to get the understanding of people. I can not do anything without collaborator.

question: Will you be establishing them, at least in your country?
answer: same as the above answer.

question: Who will conduct these elections?
answer: Ii is written in the paper. After the international party got the power, the election will be conducted by the government of each country.

question: Are you sure that people will vote in these elections?
answer: The election is conducted by the government. There is no problem.

question: It will also not clear what will be the powers of World Government vis-a- vis national governments.
answer: It is written in the paper. The international party conducts an election and elects the representatives according to population. The representatives will form a part of the World Parliament which is a consultative assembly without the
legislative power.

question: the steps in forming the World government
answer: It is written in the paper. At least basic process is written.

The answers to most of your questions are already written in the paper. Now, my proposal is on the stage to get the understanding of people. My activity in the near future is, for example,

"Sekai Rempo Kensetsu Domei"(Japanese branch of WFM) will have a symposium as noticed in the page "News"of my site. I will also report recent progress and propose my thought. And there is a group composed of the national parliament members who are thinking of the World Government. I will talk with them, if possible.
By the way, I got a mail from the MRTA which is shown in the page "Essaya and Papers" of my site, and of which the date is 4th May 1997. If anyone can persuade them and make them join the activity of World Government, it will be a great work.

The above is a part of mail I sent to Mr. El-Roy.
By the way, I know your mail "Registration of World Citizens." I expect collaboration in the World Government Movement. I hope you will understand my proposal, get the power in the national parliament, and send 150 representatives to the World Parliament.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Mr. Suzuki and other friends,
I have got the answer to my most important question, who will do it.
If I got it right, your answer is: People have to come together, I can not do
anything without collaborator. And I suppose you now expect that people will
come to you.
I thought the same.
Let me introduce myself. My name is P K Agrawal. I, like you, believe that
it is peoples power which will establish World Government. I have adopted a
somewhat more formal way of channelising peoples power. I have established
an organisation called "World Integration and Improvement Initiative". It
was established on 22/4/97. WIII registers "world citizens". I advertised
the proposal in my neighbourhood and waited for people to come. To my
dismay, hardly 5 people approached me.
I then changed my approach. I went to people instead. What I found was
unbelievable. Most of the people agree with the idea. The problem is that
they think that IT CAN NOT BE DONE. So, I explain to them that we can not
succeed unless we try; and they are willing to join. Most of these people
are only passive members. They have expressed support, and will do nothing
more. Some are active, and are canvassing further support. We have close
to 100 members now and their numbers will keep increasing. If we are able
to get support of some influential people, the numbers may grow much faster.
I will like to say this to you:
1) If you think that you have put up the proposal and you will have so
many people coming to you that you will have peoples power, forget it. You
can wait till eternity. You may have a faint idea of this in the last few
days. If you are still not disillusioned, you will soon be.
2) If you want to create peoples power badly enough, go to them. You will
be surprised at the response. Their only doubt will be, "can it be done?".
Tell them that we can not succeed, unless we try. In India, we have a nice
quote from Lord Krishna which says do your duty and don't bother about
result. It comes really handy.
3) Another important question is what will be the benefit. We emphasise elimination
of poverty through savings from elimination of military. People
really appreciate that.
4) Keep your belief set, and action set to a minimum. Our minimum belief
set is "human equality" and minimum action set is "register as a world
citizen". Keeping these to a minimum helps in avoiding dispute on details.
5) We are working on a single point program of gathering peoples support
for our single point desire, "we want a world government". We are not
bothered about details. We will discuss those when they arise. I feel
this way we will be able to get more people to support us.
6) You may ponder over these suggestions. If you want, I will be glad to
send you by post, our information cum registration form. I will also be
glad to answer any questions that you raise.
Thanks for a patient reading. With love,
P K Agrawal

Subject: News: AUD adopts GWG platform

As I promised, here is the report of my meeting with the AUD board of directors yesterday, May 24, 1997.

I'm very pleased to let you all know that the board of AUD agreed to the platform presented in the Working Papers on our WWW Site. I agreed, therefore, to divert all my efforts in the near future into publicizing the AUD and its concept as well as work to increase its membership and visibility.

AUD is a long standing organization started by Clarance K. Streit. the Author of Union Now. The main goal of the organization is the creation of an Atlantic Federal Union or federation of the democracies in the west. Although there is no objection to this happening on a global scale AUD's goals are more immediately targeted at this region of experienced democracies.

Never the less, AUD, does now accept my wider-scope proposal in principle and the plan of achieving it through local elections in each of the parcipitating countries.

I hope Mr. Suzuky's principled adoption of this scheme in his Japan based organization will as well officialy become part of this GWG system and join in to define a protocol of cooperation and communication between future emerging platform-compatible organizations in different countries.

I'm very encouraged at this point and hope something good will evolve from this. Although only time will tell, we do have a good start. I encourage everyone of you, living in the US, who believes in the proposition, to apply for membership in AUD. As far as activism goes it is up to every one of you to spread the word and maybe even congregate people, whom you know, around the idea of starting new international chapters of iAUD or any other GWG compatible organization of your own.

Hope to here back from all of you.

Subject: Where does who stand?

Thank you for the question, Dave Fries. Your confusion is not at all surprising and your questions are not at all elementary.
I think We should actually prepare a summary describing the range of activity by different organizations and the differences in concept between them.

Meanwhile I will attempt to make some order in the confusion.

GWG - Grassroots World Government
This is not an organization per se in the traditional meaning. It is rather a platform of collaboration between organizations who believe a federal world government should be established from the grassroots rather then from the top down. The platform is expressed in the Working Papers on our site. I'm working on distributing this system of collaboration to as many organizations as possible and you should feel free to assist me with that. Soon a protocol of interaction between organizations, which become part of the GWG principles, will have to be produced. I would appreciate help from people on the list with that.

AUD - Association to Unite the Democracies
This organization is currently in favor of a grassroots approach, in which a constitution for an Atlantic union ( roughly the states belonging to NATO ) will be drafted by a group of people and then passed to local communities to deliberate and gain suggestions for corrections. The local communities would then send delegates to amend the document and create a new directly elected super structure above the national governments. Note the difference between the UN system where the state appoints their executioner in the UN and this system where the delegates would be directly accountable to the people.

UPF - United Planetary Federation
This is a loose organization trying to gather input from any body who is interested in participating. I'm not sure of any current activity besides that at this point.

WFM - World Federalist Movement
This organization is a sister organization to AUD and has rather tolerating relationship with AUD at the present time compared to the past. The difference is that WFM is mainly committed to UN reform at the moment which some see as a dead end. No UN reform besides what is called "reform" in the US, cutting of the budget, was yet achieved nor are there any signs that the winds are changing.

WCPA - World Constitution and Parliament Association
This organization is headed by Philip Iseley who does not believe in the UN or its ability to reform because of its inherent structure. The WCPA has drafted a proposed constitution of the world which they are trying to ratify by the nation-states. As far as I understand no government has yet done so. The problem here is also that the document is proposed as is for a constitution which some circles reject as non democratic.

WC - World Government of World Citizens
This organization was founded by a second WW pilot who understood after the war that a more comprehensive and complete union of the world was needed instead of the UN. The organization is proclaiming itself as a de facto WG and is offering a World Passport. The problem is that besides it being a nice noble idea, the WC does not have any governing structure, can not claim to be a democratic construct, nor is it accepted by any major body or constituency as a legitimate WG.

The movement towards World Governance
You might recall Mr. Lefevre or Mr. Curttoti from the lists past. There are many different approaches towards governance. The difference between this and WG is in that there would be no one centralized government to coordinate things. Some of the suggestions even go as far as offering a Philadelphian Federation of the world, which would prevent hostility rather then provide cooperation. In all cases the idea is to preserve the Nation- State system as the highest structure in the totem pole.

World Government Institute, Japan
We just heard on this list the news from Mr. Toshio Suzuki who established this new organization in Japan. In principle it is advocating GWG concepts and I am very attentive to what will be its path or growth in the future.

Organizations I just learned about If you know anything about the following let us know.

Peoples Assembly
Civitus

I hope this is not too simplistic for now. Please correct if there are any important omissions or corrections.

Tim, Glen, Mr. Suzuki, how about helping me prepare a more complete and articulated summary for the site?
Would you write a short summary of the main concepts and positions of your organizations? I will get one from WFM and AUD.

Hi Mr. Elyazal,
Thank you for a mail. I am very glad to know that people from Africa showed interest to the World Government movement. The World Government movement in Japan is shown in "World Government Movement in Japan" in my home page. As shown there, there is a seminar four times in a year. If you are interested, please participate. I would like you to write an article with the title "World Government Movement in Sudan." It will be published on my site. And if you support the thought of the International Party which is written in "International Party for the World Government," I expect collaboration in the future. Let me know where you are in Japan.
Yours sincerely,

REGISTRY OF WORLD CITIZENS

Dear Friends,

Many of us have been working toward world unification for a long time. However, we are far from achieving our goal. One of the major obstacles in our work is that while many people like the idea of world unification, they consider it unachievable; and hence lack the enthusiasm to take the cause further. We must overcome this difficulty. We have to convince people that this is not an idle thought of a few dreamers, but the desire of millions. We must put these sparks together and turn them into a fire; merge isolated streams into a river. We must help people to realise that this is the desire of a mass of humanity, a mass which is spread all over the globe; then people will join us in large numbers, and we will be unstoppable. But can this be done? Most certainly! Yet, if we can not unite ourselves, how can we hope to unify the entire world? We have our different organisations, our different beliefs, and our different methods.

But, we also have a common vision, a vision of seeing a unified world. We must stress what is similar between us rather than what is different. It is with this view that we propose to establish a Registry of World Citizens, a list of people from all over the world. This Registry will not belong to one organisation or another, nor will it impose your views or mine on anyone. In short, if a person believes in world unification, (s)he should find every reason to register him/herself. Who will operate the registry? Who will finance it? Since we have no single empowered body which represents all of us, there is no legitimate answer to the first question. It is possible that too many organisations may volunteer in the belief that it will give them power, or there may be no takers at all. This power factor must first be removed. The organisation that operates the Registry will not claim to represent the world citizens. Also, there should be no registration fee, because one is a world citizen because (s)he believes (s)he is one, and we can not say that unless you pay, you are not a world citizen. Fortunately, the UPF is willing to operate this service, on behalf of all of us, free of charge. But, there remains a possibility that other organisations may offer to do the same. If such a situation arises, we will resolve it in the spirit of service that brings us all together.

Who will define the rules by which the Registry will function? Well, all of us will. The rules should be so defined that no one finds anything objectionable in them. A draft of basic principles is given below. Your suggestions are welcome. They will be discussed and an attempt will be made to arrive at consensus.

* Any person can become a world citizen by declaring, "I believe in world unification".
* A world citizen is not required to believe in anything more. His/her other views may differ from other world citizens.
* A person is not represented by anyone just because (s)he is a world citizen.
* A person is not required to pay any money in order to register as a world citizen (with the possible exception of postage).
* A person can not be refused world citizenship for any reason, including his/her character, knowledge, etc.
* A person's national citizenship is not affected by his/her action of registering as a world citizen.

What do we do next? If we agree and are able to create such a global Registry of World Citizens, we may either register all members of our organisations with the Registry, or ask them to register themselves. The former will be preferable, although each organisation can decide what it would like to do. Please remember that they continue to remain your members.

When you receive this communication, please do the following.

* Circulate it as widely as possible, our lists are by no means all-inclusive.
* If you are an organisation, consult the appropriate body to decide your official response, and then enter it in the on-line form at http://www.upf.org/rwc.htm . Alternatively, you may send your reply by e-mail to rwc!upf.org .
* If you are member of an organisation, please convey your views to your organisation, and ask them to respond.
* If you are not a member of any organisation, please enter your response in the on-line form, or send e-mail, as an individual.

Your views are welcomed and will be discussed with all others before any decision is taken. Please remember that this is our joint enterprise, and does not belong to any one person, or organisation. Please make your contribution to this thought process.

Dear Mr. Agrawal

To be frank, "Registry of World Citizen" is a work too heavy. Because world population is about six billion. If you want to collect the registrations of one per cent of population, you must manage sixty million. But the spirit of Registry is very good. If you want my name for a Registry, you can use it.
As for my work, I am sending letters including my paper "International Party for the World Government" and "World Government Movement in Japan" which are published on my site. I am sending them to branch organizations of WFM or world government related organizations which are on the list of Mr. El-Roy's home page and to political parties or movements on the Inter Net. In the letter, I request to write an article on the world government movement in each country with the title, for example for Russia, "World Government Movement in Russia." I do not receive any reply but I will continue to work.
Yours sincerely, Toshio Suzuki

Dear Mr. Suzuki,

I will let you know, when we start registration of world citizens on-line.
Of course, we know that reaching out 6 billion, or even 60 million, people is a massive task. But, no one is going to do it alone. Each one contributes, and enthuses many more. This process may take time, but this is the surest way to achieve our objective. There are also ways of being more effective in this. If one approaches schools, and through the children, their homes; the process can be much faster. Of course, you have to make your choice. But, you could try it on an experimental basis. Reach out to people and explain your ideas to them. You will find a wonderful response, after initial scepticism. If you like the experience, you continue; if not, you can stop doing it. If you want to try it out, please let me know; I will give you some more details. Even if you don't want to try, it is still OK; we will continue to be friends.
With love,
P K Agrawal

Hi Mr. Suzuki,

Long time no read. I'm glad to hear from you again. I would like you to check the GWG platform description I placed on my site. It would be very helpful at this point if you adopted the GWG platform and helped the network grow. GWG is basically a basis for a pluralistic collaboration between different organizations like your own. The only way I can see a popular WG come to existence is through such an open and pluralistic system where each organization is woven into the fabric and has a standard interface to the rest of the world and the other organizations. At present the GWG has been adopted by AUD in the states and I believe it is 100% in spirit with what you are doing in Japan. Please send me any comments about it and let me know if you would like to collaborate on drafting the actual protocol for the GWG platform.
Sincerely,
Amos El-Roy

Dear Mr. El-Roy

I give comment on "Plan Steps" in "GWG Platform." The most serious problem is the WG Senate. According to my interpretation, the Senate is assembled from the delegates elected by the NGO's. This is not largely different from the World Conference of WFM which will be held in India in 1998. The Senate is elected by the NGO's. This means the Senate is NGO. The Senate can be a party but cannot be one of the houses of World Parliament.
In my plan, as written in "International Party for the World Government," the basic process is to make an international party and this party, after getting the power, conducts the election in each country. The representatives are elected according to population. Even if the election is conducted in only two countries. The representatives elected from each county can form a small part of the World Parliament. The World Parliament in the early stage is a consultative assembly without the legislative power like the European Parliament.
According to this plan, I am sending my papers to parties in Japan or other countries, world government related organization, etc. I received a reply from an institute which is shown in the address list of your home page. I attach it to this mail. From the mail, I feel that people will move.
With regard to the establishment of International Party, there are two ways. Former way is to persuade the existing party to become the International Party. Latter way is to establish a new International Party. Existing party like Liberal Democratic Party in Japan or Democratic Party in USA or Congress Party in India may become the International Party for WG. If so, we do not need new party but otherwise we must establish new party for the WG like the World Party. I am working in this direction. Thus, I can agree with the World Government Federal Congress but cannot agree with the WG Senate. But I will compromise and collaborate when it is necessary. Now I am on the stage to get the understanding of people.

Yours sincerely,
Toshio Suzuki

Dear Mr Toshio Suzuki,

It has given me immense pleasure to read your letter of June 23, 1997 and in particular your idea of working for the World Government is really commendable.

The international Institute for Non-aligned Studies which is making its humble contribution for the resolution of the problems of the third world countries would extend all support for the cause you have created the WORLD GOVERNMENT INSTITUTE and would like to convey best wishes for the realisation of the goal for which you have started this global movement.

In fact much of the problems of the world exist because of the borders which have no relevance for a common person who is interested only in the daily needs of life. Much of the rivalries which exist in this world and because of which billions and billions of dollars are spent on armaments is a wasteful expenditure which can be utilized for the welfare of mankind. The world would definitely a better place without borders.

How better this idea can work and enjoy support from all parts of the world would depend upon how much this idea spreads in all parts of the word. You have rendered a commendable service by creating a web site on the Inter Net and with this the idea will spread and interactions from all parts of the world would help you in crystallising the idea and giving it a practical shape.

As desired we shall make our humble contribution by writing a paper on ''WORLD GOVERNMENT MOVEMENT IN INDIA". It may take some time as this would require interacting with different people and understanding their perception. Your paper will be the basis for such interaction

I once again compliment you for the great idea and the noble cause.

Assuring you of our highest consideration always.

Not quite. The Senate will be composed from the delegates who were running for local elections. If there were more parties or organizations running in local elections under the GWG platform, the one with the more votes would be selected. If only one will run, in case a coalition of local GWG compatible organizations is achieved, then it will by default be representing in the first Senate. As times goes by it will resemble more and more the partisan elections as we know them. More NGO's will be running separately, possibly in a separated WG election system.

No contradiction at all so far. This is exactly what the GWG stands for with the exception of restricting it to one single International party. I believe in pluralism and the necessity for it in evolution. You send 50 tadpoles into the world not one to end up with a couple of mature frogs.

Again, this is almost identical to what I believe in. The power will eventually come after a critical mass of the population decides to empower the WG with its votes. Then we are talking about real political power.

I really do not see any significant difference in our approaches. The Senate issue is a non issue since the intent is clearly to make it as much of a representative of the people as the US senate is now. The difference between a senate and congress would be that the congress representatives would be elected in relation to regional population (say 1 rep per certain size of national population), while the congress would be composed of a set number of representatives per nation state. I expect there not to be too many people running on separate tickets in local elections in the beginning, but this is only the start.

I would like to collaborate with you much more closely in the near future.
Sincerely,
Amos El-Roy
