Human mutual concern, service, and good will to All, past and present, and future starting now, is what we all have in common, whether we are male or female. We are launching this global call and definition for equality of opportunity, presence and rights for men and women in an uncertain world, yet a world we believe is quite capable of discovering its own inherent and endowed blessings, at the dawn of a new millennium.

All people in every nation have had, to varying degrees, to deal with corruption of politics, which accompanies the inability of many national political systems to accept women at their real worth. The yawning chasm between the stated principles and actual behavior of much of the world's political officialdom has been evidenced in many ways, from condescending indifference and contempt to outright hostility. The mostly dominant-male political officialdoms of too many countries have not yet come to terms with women sharing political power with all men in equality, in the decision-making of many countries, regions and the international community; that is, until now. Now, secure in our declaration and optimistic good will, we believe that even such dominant male officialdom will quickly come to understand the change to natural and ethical gender parity and mutuality in office, is a spiritually evolved and mentally empowering and protective opportunity and Blessing; and a mutually concerned natural higher awareness and benefit. The equal presence of women in office of representative government is not a threat to the power of men, not even to dominant men, but a quantum enhancement of it.

Human philosophy and technology as boons to the human experience are a joint product of inherent, and personally and socially nurtured human talent, in a spirit of social interest. If one looks carefully into the past and present, one finds that many of our greatest leaps in philosophy, science and technology have occurred among individuals and communities in which not one gender, but both gender's presence and vision was integrated into and/or inspirationally integral to the work. Technology itself is a gift to humans when emerging from and accompanied by that social muse that impels us toward recognizing a living and interacting Unity among individuals, who are All inherently politically and spiritually equally endowed.

Now that, in many and potentially most or all nations, equal numbers of the genders are literate or easily capable of literacy, and/or use or capable of using modern telecommunication; and now that equal numbers of the Genders are present on the world wide Internet, it is fitting and inevitable, to announce here in gender-balanced global cyberspace, that the past eras of within-nation revolution, even the day of between nation or regional empire or alliance, made and communicated by mostly men only, has already entered a more Whole and inclusive Global era of human ethical and spiritual mutual influence, change and Transformation, based on naturally understandable standards and mentally evolved principles that involve both genders.

Nature gives humanity approximately 50-50 in Gender: about half of humanity is Female and about half Male. Each child born will be one or the other. While Men and Women were always present with each other in balance to share some of the most important and intimate aspects of life, as early human society began to travel and spread across large and then larger distances of parts of the Earth, certain role and labor divisions according to Gender were once necessitated by the lack of labor saving and conceptual communication technology. This kept the genders intellectually separated and apart from each other in more technologically primitive and partially informed days.

But, with increasing technology came coeducation, co-literacy and coinformation, explicit and manifest. All evidence has shown that the Genders are equally intelligent, although with some trends of symmetrical but complementary, overlapping difference, if the genders operate as entwined parts of a whole, in styles of processing information. Individuals not only exhibit individual difference, but brain and intelligence studies, and abundant human experience, has shown differences in focus based on hormonal factors and brain and bodily Natures.

Now conveniently assisted to explore ideas and opinions and read and hear information easily shared via technology, more and more members of the two genders come together globally and encounter each other daily on the World Wide Web and Internet. Like a global Round Table that already includes equal numbers of both genders, humanity now has a thought-sharing technology that has reunited the genders cognitively via the Internet "global brain", in approximate numbers of 50-50 as those of nature, and allows daily more of them to communicate with each other openly and without structural impediment or intimidation.

Therefore, it is time for all humanity to entitle itself to a maturity in government that reflects both the numerical wisdom of nature and the technological and now increasingly fully global communication maturity of the Internet. 50-50 of gender in thought and decision-making will allow a maturing of human planning and law-making genius, via both symmetry and gender complementarity in government, to fully benefit each and every generation, and the harmonious, individually and mutually empowering longevity and quality of life. Since 50-50 is the approximate naturally expected reflection of male-female in self-government, if a standard of gender representation of 75% of each gender, thus office-holding of 37.5% for either gender is not met, the country's regional, multinational or international) officialdom is not yet a true and mature human self-government. But if such minimum of 75% of each gender, thus at least 37.5% of offices are held by female and at least 37.5% by male standard, and the country achieves mechanisms of democracy that explicitly seek and expect nearly natural 50-50 in gender balance, then the country is indeed mature and representative government, and its officeholders do represent the people, with Human True Government.

At some point in our gender-shared human history, and primitive times before the evolution of truly mentally evolved human government that is now evolving, intelligent but more aggressively dominating males of our species took it upon themselves, and alternately forced, were allowed by and/or even relied upon by slightly less aggressive males and women, to maintain tribal or national divisions across partial distances of earth, that is the territorial integrity needed to preserve and protect populations' sustainment and growth under conditions of immature technology, by domination - threat and intimidation. A preference for protective, but also competitive and still generally autocratic domination by male enforcers - might - became the rule for rulers, and its techniques of exclusive hierarchy, seemed at least then, to have evolutionary value, to meet the rigors of harsh pre-and-earily scientific, pre-and-early technological, and pre-telecommunicating conditions of availability to a critical gray matter mass of human intelligence and spirit.

These harsh and therefore highly territorial conditions, perhaps a deevolution from an original 'paradise' somewhere in 'memory' or back-to-the-future hard-wired archetypal imagination, were imposed by weather, topography and distance, and humanity's own less mature spiritual understanding of the world, which often relied upon exploiting people, unassisted by any machinery, to get work done. Often, then, male brute force maintained by hierarchy, was used to force others to work that would today be done by technology, and male force became associated with the power to get tasks done in order to survive and prosper.

It was this very primitivity, separated by conditions of distance beyond easy communication of women and men alike, that also made an awareness of one's own region as part of an always naturally interconnected planet and cosmos more difficult. Physical threat of male against less brutal males and against female was likely more commonplace than even now, and under the rigors of the harsh, territorially limited and patrolled lands, seemed more necessary and natural, at least to those who could administer the threat and force.

With the social premium on male might of these immature eras and millennia, females began to be habitually excluded from and separated away from group decision-making, perhaps initially by the most dominant males, and eventually with the compliance, willing or unwilling, of males lower in the might-based pecking order. Eventually, many females habituated to this reality without question, and adjusted to it. The pattern, which fit the territorial times, was set, and passed from generation to generation through cultural mechanisms more or less intense according to factors of climate, resource availability, size of territory, and so on.

The primitive conditions promoted aggressive territoriality and compartmentalized focus in group decision-making, talents at which the dominant male body and brain are slightly better constructed than the female, and less dominant male, who though perhaps better able to value the spiritual and archetypal big-picture earlier than dominant males, could not make these spiritual values fully and lastingly manifest within a then more territorial and technologically primitive earth.

Patriarchy, autocracy, pecking order hierarchy and aggressive nationalistic focus "patria-tism" for one's own tribe, region, territory or country, as better or more important than others, ruled our planet, and most human beings gave more support, enablement and allegiance to these regional values and strategies than to global good will and political and spiritual equality. Religion, the worship of Nature and Nature's God for the entire Universe, even beyond any known land or territory, not yet aided by or integrated with mature scientific and ecological knowledge, provided an exception to these values, but its impact was circumscribed and often coopted by the political and physical territory and resource realities.

At these early times, slightly less dominating but fully intelligent capable men and women, even sometimes the spiritually wisest, kindest and most logically, scientifically, and technologically universal, visionary and innovative, were frequently deprived of equal political status by dominating males, whose slightly more compartmentalized brains and/or more aggressive bodies were better suited to these past primitive conditions. Because change in more primitive times relied more upon force and threat than swift communication of insight and influence, it became the human political pattern and habit to prohibit or impede the full political participation of women and less domination-prone, more egalitarian, less conventionally compartmentalizing men. Until the recent times, too, women died more frequently in childbirth, populations had higher death rates than birth rates particularly due to childhood and communicable disease, and the pressure to keep childbearing and young child-raising women "safe" at home was overgeneralized to women's entire life-cycle, as a pattern or habit. Even mature women whose chidren were grown were not allowed to hold public office. The loss of their intelligent direct input into the course of human events is incalculable.

Dominant male rulers, routinely self-appointed decision-makers, relied on aggressive men to gather and share information about distant areas of territories, which could increase in size via colonies or empires that could report, slowly and expensively, to the emperors or sovereign autocracies, but never could be quickly globally communicated with by all the people. Literally, common men and women could not communicate across these distances as equals. The information of empires was gathered and processed through a dominant male lens, and not surprisingly, significant amounts of information about human talent and creativity, and modes of nurturing it, were lost.

However, in the last half of the twentieth century, a gradual change in this pattern, which had always been present, began to accelerate. Connected by electricity, telephone, radio, and labor saving technology, in the 1940's and 1950's women began, in large numbers, to have the time to devote their talents not only in the home, but also outside it, for the benefit of the larger society as well. More and more men and boys could have enough time to spend with women and girls to experience first hand that the genders were both quite intelligent, and capable of complex ideas and thinking which they were increasingly able to share and express. Over the period of the 1960's through the present, most men came to welcome this change, rediscovering women as valuable mental partners not only in the always important domestic sphere, but in the understanding of larger society as well.

Today, no matter where on earth, many-becoming-most, men, women and children can benefit from and learn about goods and services made anywhere in the world, and communicate with someone a hemisphere away in an instant by often satellite-assisted telecommunication. The computer and internet have exponentially increased the power of the "pen", both on paper and digital, the written word of women just as much as men. The technology of words and thoughts can now travel more quickly and broadly, and last longer in life-organizing impact, than any army of men with swords or and any weapons technology. Today, the pen is mightier than the sword in that the Centurions are being replaced by emails, available to more and more, and eventually, likely, everyone, female and male alike.

Today, education and literacy are near 100% in many nations, more than 50% even in "poor" nations, and portable learning technology - radio, video, computer, is making collective human knowledge, and even the ability to read, easier to teach and share everywhere and rapidly. Not only national, but regional and international organization and friendship is more and more common, and daily possible. Wise, efficient and everpresent energy usage technologies that often assist computers, such as solar energy and wind energy is harnessing unlimited supply, and recent experiments promise fusion, and superconductivity in the near future. These are ongoing discoveries of human creativity, increasingly made by both female and male together, seeking power used to sustain not their home but all homes, to improve the lives of all rather than to eliminate or kill any, and looking toward the power already inherent in the delicate nature of things rather than blunt force dominant or exclusive power.

So, scarcity, which reinforces the need for territoriality, dominant male aggressive threat, hierarchy among men and exclusion of just as inherently intelligent women, is giving way to powerful, almost mystical knowledge of Nature, and wisdom, discovered by women and men and learned by boys and girls. This truly makes every grain of sand, every drop of dew, and every written word, a universe of information, abundance and energy generation, and empowers each person both individually and in their collective abilities toward society, as well. Nurturing and sharing modes are becoming daily more and more important in unlocking the secrets of human power in harmony with the Universe.

With human ideas our greatest resource, we live in a world of greater connection and stimulus to genius thought in both genders. Skills of the feminine, such as listening, empathic harmonization and "horizontal" or less hierarchical facilitation of communication, are becoming more clearly important to both the collective humanity and individual person, and clearly equally needed for decision-making as the "vertical" hierarchy, competition-to-stimulation, out-group exclusion or threat that seemed so clearly to "work best" under conditions of more primitive technology, necessary territoriality in consciousness, and scarcity.

Shared communication and thought-sharing technology is an inevitable democratic equalizer as well as a widespread introducer into the mainstream of relations and loving spiritual attitudes heretofore only routinely practical for females at "home", but now becoming important in the global context because our planet is more interconnected and less isolated or territorial. Critical-stage, nurturing concern and sensitivity toward the young and developing mind/body, inclusiveness, mutuality and positive praise, smiling, touching and caring, as opposed to hierarchy, daring, physical reward, status or competitive choice or alliance, are the motivational patterns of influence areas where most women excel because of inherent hormonal Nature, because of less compartmentalization in brain structure producing a slightly more wholistic, socially integrated and intuitive intelligence, and because of the long built-up experience of nurturing loved ones in the home.

Pregnancy, child-focus and neighborhood preservation need no longer permanently isolate child-rearing mothers, or supportive and bonding young fathers, from the political global community, which is now not only easily hearable and visible, via radio or video, but interactively influenceable, via telephone, internet/computer, and fax as well. In ways once reserved for Kings, mothers and long lived grandmothers, work at home sons and "retired" yet active grandfathers who dote on granddaughters as well as grandsons, can interact cognitively with each other, as well as work and government offices in their own and other nations quickly, by email and website, and know that the human life cycle can easily accommodate both time for parenting, for both genders, and time for public office service and ongoing understanding of political issues.

Interacting non-hierarchically with men more often about goals and decisions, women also are learning from men, to become more daring and assertive of their own values and abilities. This prepares highly intelligent yet nurturing and spiritually evolved, compassionate women for political and economic decision-making office, in a geopolitical context. Nurturing love can enter into contexts that previously brought together only the most aggressive males who motivated through more hierarchial means, and still produce high levels of performance and motivation, using a different yet complementary and equally powerful mechanism. The concern as to whether the female is "tough" enough for government office is answered by the reality that her presence in office anywhere and everywhere is making the interconnected world less "tough".

Therefore, more and more people, men and women, feel women's presence in government will stimulate a more moral, creative result on an interconnected earth; a result that benefits everyone. But it should not be worried that technology disempowers men, or empowers women more than men. Technology empowers men to wisdom and longevity in a way never before available.

As it becomes available to them in contexts politically transformed by the parity presence and nurturing, humanly empowering values of women, most men - "common" and "dominant" men alike, are assisted by technology to do work more easily and quickly, affording them greater opportunity for friendship and mutual respect among men, rather than loneliness, rigidity, pressure, tension and stress. Yet, the opportunities for altruistic heroism and achievement will also expand and increase: Men often have natural spatial and mechanical abilities in dealing with technology which they can instruct others, and are essential transformers of the physical plant of home, office and farms nearby or in nations...or planets they can visit by email as well as boat and plane ...and spaceship. Spending less time on conquering and controlling each other, they have more time to conquer the challenges of space travel, of organizing vast amounts of information in user-friendly form, of learning new languages, of bringing their skills to those who once would have been their victims, and of Mars-like stewardship of agriculture rather than primitive Mars-like preoccupation with wars. Swords can literally be beaten into strong and lasting plowshares by former soldiers experiencing their own full human rennaissance, now joined by women who assist them to safeguard life by sharing skills more and more often, rather than simply "protecting" or "guarding" it with weapons. All these forms of male leadership and indispensable skill will be of use and all necessary as the world becomes more mutual and interconnected.

Assisted by technology in a gender balanced and more often telecommutable government linked to home-office context, men have more time to be with spouse, children and neighbors, more time for town meetings and public service to neighbors near and far, more time for creative thinking, more time for authentic prayer and meditation, more time for sport, art and music leisure to renew energy as opposed to repetitive or routine work, and the expansion of friendship to experience women as mentally stimulating and complementary yet equal intellectual colleagues in work and other contexts. Men who felt forced to sacrifice a more rounded life in order to be a politician will now have an opportunity for a more full life, with the knowledge the gender-balance and technology will allow a greater pool of men, their friends and not enemies, to serve, as well. Politicians are more and more being chosen based not on how many expensive sound bytes they can waste, but by what is on their website. Thus, the cost of elections automatically decreases, unless something is happening in some places that makes no human sense for the people of any land, and in any case, cannot sustain.

In a more mature technological time, working with women, in government as any context, gives men not less but more: more opportunity to model, and be socially rewarded for indispensable habits of action, honor, humor, nobility and masterful calm, when called for to keep progress moving, yet also enjoy a less stressful, more long-lived lifespan and greater listening skills, to see all others as people instead of just competitors or bosses, and to share and learn important skills and insights into the nature of their own and others feelings, especially fulfilling in deeper bonding with children, which likely will be related to great increases in longevity for men.

This allows men in positions of responsibility to nevertheless rediscover a happier sportsmanliness in less desperate and hostile play and more often win-win outcomes, to engage in skill sharpening and mental creativity, compassion, wisdom and kindness, and areas of their own nature area that was previously encountered only by saints, ordained men of religion or geniuses in music and art. It gives them time for more creative thinking, so that they can continue to unlock new ways of accomplishing tasks, but have the moral judgement, assisted by the presence of enough women, to know what tasks are most important to the people, men, women and children, of their society and other societies. The gender-balanced political and technological context still allows men to opportunity to practice and hone the typically hormonally-linked active, present and somewhat focussed outcome-oriented instinct and strength of their natures, yet not be overwhelmed or driven, sometimes cruelly driven against others or stressed by self, as they used to need to be in more necessarily primitive, hierarchial times.

The importance to women of gender balance in governmental decision-making is even more obvious. Women will not have to live in a second class citizenship, and their increased self-esteem will bring forth talents and wisdoms waiting and yearning to be expressed. They can better protect their families by helping bring forth legislation that protects the young and old by assisting the strong and healthy to balance the necessities of family and work, and as a result of the increased peace of mind, grow even more productive and creative in all fields of thought, bringing into full light and public service the typically hormonally-linked receptively aware, nurturing, and somewhat process-oriented wholistic aspects of their natures. The political degradation, either by exclusion or tokenized cooptation, of women has helped neither the female, more the male, nor the whole of humanity. The elevation of women to her true and natural place in decision-making with help the female, and the male, and the whole of society. It is an opportunity that, looking out into the vast universe of Creation, Humanity dare not miss.

In essence, technology, and joint decision making in government, by bringing the genders closer together in information sharing and collective discussion and decision-making, assists men to expand their focus and awareness from primarily physically based aggressive power - competitive hoarding of limited earth resources, defending territory and hierarchical dominance/or submission in a pecking order, to include more idealistic adventure, more intimacy, trust and creatively motivating faith in others and their ideas, and thus, an ongoing awareness of Nature and Nature's God, in themselves and in all people as well. The new emphasis on ideas, coupled with men's abilities in moving forward under conditions of the unknown, will be, and in nation's with highest quality of life, is politically leavened by women's intuitive foresight, brave devotion to others, and social sensitivity-responsibility, The balance assists a motivated genius capacity to allow technology to unleash unlimited wealth and energy that can open up space rather than unleash war, to restore and harmonize with Nature rather than attempt, impossibly, to dominate it, and to experience moral and spiritual power which is ultimately limitless in scope, and felt by both men and women to be the highest aspects of their entwined human nature.

With laptops and lightweight and portable, battery operated computer terminals airliftable to anywhere on the planet, and so simple to use that children enjoy doing so, it is no longer necessary or prudent for humanity, or its officialdoms to rely primarily upon techniques of threat, force and domination for influence and regulation. It simply makes more sense to drop laptops, equipped with translation software, than bombs.

And it makes utterly no spiritually evolved sense to prefer officialdoms of self-selected dominant men, hiding from and making themselves into a decision-making elite limited by the gendered habits of competitiveness, over the natural and likely inevitable democracy and representation of women and all men both intellectually and spiritually empowered if we want a world and travel into space(time), that is safe, terror-free, efficient yet moral, prosperous, easily informed, and friendly for its inhabitants, communicators and travelers, including once dominating men but now more spiritually powerful men themselves.

Just as much as their women as cognitive and full partners, these men, too can now have the proverbial moment to stop and smell the roses of their planet and cosmos, and experience the empowered yet humble spiritual and moral wisdom far more rewarding than winning a territorially defined contract, a market, or a war. They will be able to have without hoarding, because unleased by the decisions of gender-balanced win-win moral government, the earth and universe are more accessible and abundant, and humanity even more full of endowed talent for creativity, then we had imagined.

A definitional Gender Balance in our concept and practice of government will unleash these benefits to both genders quickly and without the dangers of masculinizing women caused by gradualism, tokenism and delay, that leaves them at token levels learning lessons of the most Machiavellian or narcissistic dominators. In some ways, officialdoms of dominant males and token females may be even more dangerous and pernicious to humanity than totally monogender male officialdoms, because they may, in the current geopolitical context, give predominantly male officialdoms a veneer of progress while domination-techniques which are antithetical to spiritual development actually increase without either a male-based or female-balanced code of ethics within which to operate.

Some once worried that technology may reduce some aspects of difference between men and women, but generally, it tends to unite their overlapping wisdom in a spiritual way, and not in a manner of changing inherent talents of nature, which is strong and, when the genders love and respect each other, "hard-wired". In fact, in lands where dominant males rule, many men eventually become morally embarrassed by the dominance-mode, and younger men may seek to leave their nations, retreat from esteeming inbuilt masculine talents as a way of escaping overly intense, nearly sociopathic domination hierarchies, retreat into cynical humor or substance abuse, or turn on civilian populations, either locally or globally, as a way of releasing resentments actually felt toward overdominant but always-away-at-work ruler-fathers and mothers not sufficiently politically empowered to protect either sons or daughters from alienation.

In contrast, the French, and the Scandinavians, both known as a nations of lovers, have embraced gender balance not to eliminate all gender differences, but to assist vive le difference to bring forth the best government Mind from both, and to have more time with their families and children to allow boys to enjoy their fathers in boyhood and to "thank heaven, for little girls", who can also grow up better bonded to parents, "in a most delightful way".

In fact, it is becoming more and more counter-productive to not cultivate gender-balanced government and international and fully global respect and friendship. Breakthroughs in ecological and energy science, many being made by women as well as men, are assisting our ability to steward the physical resources of the earth, wind, sea and sun toward true abundance, and the necessity of a small hierarchy to controllingly dole out scarce service, resource, information, education, or energy, is waning and becoming daily more misdirected and obsolete. In our age of a gender balanced internet, gender imbalanced officialdoms are already an anachronism; and pretending that they are true governments is an error of definition for men and women alike.

In literate nations, medias, often called another branch of government, that are controlled by dominant males at the top are increasingly suspect and ignored. By seeking audiences of the lowest common denominator caused by the social impact of dominant-male-political and social world views, they have already been losing better educated audiences to the Internet. Eventually, as technology assists in making information and gender-balanced global discussion common, this trend will accelerate drastically. Educated humanity no longer regards war, hostile fantasy or war reporting as the most heroic adventure, and are more inspired by altruistic heroism, space travel and satellite assisted communication as evidence of talent, power to do good, and peaceful influence on the flow of events.

Finally, not only the Internet, but projects such as as the Human Genome Project remind us clearly that the human intelligence and heritance is total, male and female, not male only, or mostly male. The proper use and existence of the information gained from these developments is ethically unthinkable without gender balance in decision-making that affects nations, regions, and the world as a whole. A dominant male biased approach to these potential boons to the whole of humanity could unleash an era of premature application, social divisiveness, exploitation, domination and destruction that makes previous era's errors seem pale in comparison, and could threaten not only human life, but life on earth itself. Just as the discovery of gunpowder and the atom did not necessartily have to lead to guns and bombs that have killed billions, so new discoveries can and ought be put to better use. If all the "sides" of all previous conflicts had been gender-balanced, the work of science might have far more reliably brought about benefit instead of domination and destruction, and humanity might have progressed as a multiple of both genders - twice as fast and twice as well. Now that so many technologies have reached a globally impactful level for good or ill, gender balance in decision-making becomes imperative.

Therefore, the moment is right,and necessary, for humanity everywhere to share in true fairness of the participation of human talent in actual true self-government, and to achieve this quickly, rather than be mired in the dominance patterns of the past that are now literally at worst endangering and at best slowing our peaceful, environmental and social, political and spiritual human progress.

III. As a Culmination Among Other Leaps Forward

Again referring to words inspired by the recent Gender balance Manifesto in France: 'Strong resistance to women in politics was indicative of something in our human history and culture that was more deeply rooted than mere prejudice, that outweighs any intention that might be honorable or less so.' Here, we have joined the French wisdom in describing this as a stage of human social and pre-technological co-evolution, that has, in fact, already been left behind. And especially now, and this mutually reinforces us ALL, in all nations, in our approach, women have encountered men in all walks of life, including very high up in political office, science, religions and public leadership, and many men on the Internet, who are conscious of this shamefully unfair and residually primitive situation of political disinclusion of women, and ready to call it a non-governmental pattern.

These men, such as Prime Minister Lionel Jospin of France, Health Minister Pentii Arajarvi of Finland, famed political leaders, scientists and economists who see women as colleagues in equal partnership with men, like Oscar Arias Sanchez of Costa Rica who has worked to empower women throughout Central and South America, like the late Carl Sagan of the US whose last female hero in his written work, joins with a male hero in discovering that Industry, Government, Science and Religion beckon humanity to unite in the appreciation for Cosmic Truth and Promise, which depends also on the presence of women as full discussants and decision-makers, like Nobel Prizewinner Amartya Sen of India, and many others in other lands, serve as models and stewards of evolution for all women and men to achieve quantitative balance of representation necessary for qualitative equality in representation, for the good of all humanity. Spouses of public servant officeholders, such as Jospin's wife and gender law principle author Sylvianne Agacinski, and public servants themselves, such as Prime Minister Tarya Halonen of Finland, serve as flexible models and stewards for all women and men as well, to both lead and partner.

In addition to womens' ngos, there are now non-governmental organizations of men promoting women in equality in government in many nations, including Spain, Canada, India and South Africa, and similar voices making themselves heard in every nation and on every continent, even areas still officially entrenched in patriarchy. Such men lead other men to join with women in a human critical mass of intelligence, - "gray matter" - for living and caring to rectify the gender imbalance. Such women, and such men, of the world, the human majority of our planet, now join, past, present and moment to moment future, sometimes in remembrance of others who have pointed the way and gone before whose names and impacts are still alive on the Internet, with the evergrowing number of women and men of France, Scandinavia, across Europe, in India and Pakistan, Canada, China, Mexico, Brazil, the US, South Africa, Egypt, the Phillipines, Israel, Indonesia, Thailand, Iran and leading lights of many other nations, in making this necessary change manifest and declared.

The current but soon to be improved representation of women around the world is similar to the 5% women in office in France just prior to the Parity Law. In the world as a whole, women are only a very small - under 10% - percentage political office, but as in France in 2001-2 and Scandinavia decades ago, that situation can change almost overnight. It is not time, but awareness, integrity, imagination and will necessary to face the problem and make the change that is needed.

France went overnight from 5% to 47.5% women actually holding office, thus about the 50-50 required by law there and existent now in Nature and Global technology. So, too, with this global declaration, we declare men and women of the world equally fit for political office, and recognize as true and evolved government only those nations where their numbers in office is approaching 50-50 equality (near or above 37.5% as the minimum for either gender; which is derived from 75% of each gender in the naturally occurring approximate 50-50 of gender in earth populations). Once, again, we shall refer to other countries that have not reached this minimum level as officialdoms, not governments, because their political systems do not represent their people, and do not have the balance of human complementarity of modes of leadership and talent to result in optimally creative thinking.

Of course, some regressive forces recognize that women will be partners in national governments soon, but are trying to delay that day, or keep women in relative exclusion from the government of regional or Continental pacts, such as multinational trade pacts and officialdoms like that of certain sections of the European Union Convention or regional economic summits that are actually making government-like decisions. But, there is little logic to such an effort at such summits or the EU. They contradict the more representative views of the European Parliament, and we, believe, that any parts of the EU too, if attempting to make decisions without gender balance and ignoring parity, will be soon be apologizing for its own bad judgement, and regarded and ultimately rejected as having been mere officialdom, and not yet a government worthy of respect or world..

With the passage of Parite, and the nationwide elections and terms begun in 2001 and extending into Parliament in 2002, French women were guaranteed by law, the natural-occurring balance of gender, in government, and France made a necessary and logical quantum leap befitting the global 21st century, a spiritually evolutionary step forward into truer government and democracy at levels heretofore known only in the Nordic nations. Now, as many nations are already achieving above 35% women in government via their own internal efforts and programs, is the moment to declare, announce and insist that other nations, and particularly literate and technologically able nations and international official organizations, immediately catch up with France and Scandinavia, and match and stimulate the already more balanced levels in Germany, the Netherlands, South Africa, regional sections of India, and so on, if their national and international leaders wish to be regarded or termed by many as government at all, as opposed to a self-deluded, anachronistic officialdoms that may have been functional for the 18th, 19th or 20th century, but are self-and globally destructive in the 21st.

Even economically poor countries or countries lacking in literacy have many women who are literate as men, and modern teaching methods such as videos can quickly assist and inform intelligent but illiterate women, and many once exploited men of gentler strengths, to bring life wisdom, empathy, patience and service-oriented love, into office. This is being done already in India, and South Africa, where now many women, moving toward above 37.5%, are serving in national as well as state and local office, and men who were once exploited or exploitive are beginning to benefit from a greater unity in the land as a result of co-leadership and partnership.

It should be remembered too, if you look far enough back into human events in all nations, most women were naturally service-oriented and willing to serve their tribes, towns, villages and nations in public office, despite the enormity of their child-bearing, child-raising and domestic tasks, but were excluded from public work and voice by force, by dominant or insecure men, and sometimes miseducated women worn down over generations to be habituated to patriarchy that was initially imposed by force even on the privileged female. Modern men worldwide, with more palpable and emailable evidence of women's talent from author like Arundhati Roy to written words of rural women of many occupations, including once "untouchables" of the caste system now also posting on the Internet, are supporting the global women's political liberation into mental, political and spiritual partnership with men.

That some women were willing to 'tolerate' the pretechnological horrors of force used against them, or were willing to settle for expensive preoccupations with obsessive physical vanity and privilege right alongside the lack of their gender's presence in government proves that human self-esteem was like a muscle - if shackled or too long, it initially resisted the freedom to stand up and walk erect, and sometimes advised other prisoners not to welcome freedom, or trivialized it. That is because it can be initially painful to watch one or a few others walk when oneself is using so much energy to crouch or disguise oneself that it is hard to lift the head up to see a more natural way. But numbers are the key, like the numbers of women already equal to men on the Internet, and when many are standing, in the world as a whole and connected spiritual community with concern for all its members, even the most crouched can find muscles strong enough to stand again, and contribute to the Whole Intelligence.

We as the real telecommunity do hereby inform dominant-male-controlled media corporations, some of which have budgets that exceed many countries' budgets, that they may pretend to deliver national, international or global news and information, but in fact do not, because women have had not enough presence of number in decision-making, We refer to them as premedia or malemedia, pre-radio or maleradio, pretelevision or maletelevision, and prenews or malenews organizations Such media, acting almost as a branch of misogynist officialdoms or misogynist in their own right, have attempted to hide the news of the French gender parite law and other related global stories from countries like the United States and many others. These premedia will become increasingly obsolete and disrespected and even ignored by their own people and all the people of the world, until they broadcast the news of gender balance for real government, politics and decision-making around our world,

Since the French Parity "Re-Evolution" has occurred, it is now most especially the moment for the American, English, former English colonies, all Europe, all Continental, and World Gender Re-Evolution. Prior to gender entering the picture, the journey toward real human discovery, global exploration and real human government on a shared earth was often physical rather than mental and technologically exploitative rather than technologically interactive. Progress had usually involved conflict and violence and occurred in partiality, occurring in fits and spurts.of the world's geography at various moments. In these pregovernment eras, exploration was necessary accompanied by colonial/native enslavement and exploitation. discovery by destruction, and government meant often meant graft, greed and grandiosity rather than good will in public service.

In the bad old days of these previous centuries, before the genders could politically and spiritually reunite, society and government was always a tale of a divided two, and sometimes even further subdivided - a tale of two cities, two continents, two cultures, first, second and third worlds, not united but divided: societies with rights for some but lesser rights for others. Our globe was actually always one in humanness, but didn't have enough women present in government decision-making for feminine modes of cooperative inclusion (as opposed to overcompetitive disinclusion) to be valued and integrated into the fabric of life so that human unity and full political equality no matter what gender, race, or nation could to be visible both within each nation and among all nations. While national or regional Monarchy was ended by some of the previous Declarations and past centuries partial revolutions, in fact, the oligarchies only exchanged one geographical capital with another and were mostly examples of malearchy and malecrocy, that is, gender monoarchy, not true self-government and democracy of the entire people.

The US Declaration of Independence of 1776, an influence on the French Revolution of 1789, England and Europe just as French Parite is now a catalyst for change in the US was a notable but still partial and certainly not a global step. The subsequent Constitution of 1789 not only ignored that Declaration's statement that all men were created equal by legalizing slavery, but it set up dominant-male patterns of exclusion, to interpret the word 'man' as narrowly possible to disinclude men of color, less wealthy men, and women, as well. So the Declaration of Sentiments of 1847 (followed by a on-foot suffragette march that crawled uphill for 7 decades to reach the numbers and consensus that are reachable in one hour on the Internet), a Civil War, various Amendments some early on about property requirements, some about race but not gender, and finally about gender (but only too late, after other mechanisms were in place in state legislatures to keep fair numbers of people of color and women out of parties at the state and national level), were all examples of partial progress than occur when dominant males alone are the final decision-makers, and their mono-gender-defined officialdoms are misinterpreted to be governments.

IV. Regarding Gender Balance and a True United Nations

Similarly, the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1946, as written in great part by a woman slightly ahead of her time, Eleanor Roosevelt, once the co-founding partner of another UN Co-Founder and US President, who reached out to a dominant-male, gender-imbalanced International Community for Universal progress, but was impeded by the lack of the global technology, and political empowerment of enough other women and men promoting partnership, to fully realize her dream. She and the UN Charterers then failed to included a gender balance standard and mechanism to accelerate and insure the other democratic rights enumerated. She lacked then the step taken by Agacinski and Jospin now, and women like President Najma Heptulla and men like Secretary General Anders Johnsson of the InterParliamentary Union. It is important that Agacinski and Jospin, assisted by Heptulla and Johnsson and other partners in rother lands, themselves speak internationally to the importance of the parite concept at the UN, immediately, instead of focussing on the French scene as apart from the UN.

We therefore here declare that until High Commissioner Mary Robinson and Secretary-General Kofi Annan, and/or all successors, refer to themselves as we do, as gender balanced and utterly equal Co-Presiders, and insist upon Gender Balance in the General Assembly and, if a Security Council is still needed, the Security Council, the United Nations cannot live up to its name. Until Robinson and Annan reflect our declared wisdom and public outcry on the issue, as the central matter, the current UN will be called the male-dominated Gender Divided Prenations, and nothing more, until the minimum 37.%% of each gender is present as officials, and achieved. The large presence of women in NGO's either insist on this or they become enablers of the anachronism and spiritual and political dream never realized and possibly even betrayed, that due to insufficient action on this matter, the UN can become..

The UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, lacking a gender balance concept related to nature, saw many contradictions by the UN Charter itself, and other aspects of UN international "government". an officialdom, not gender-balanced. The Security Council and General Assembly have not yet been gender-balanced. Thus, even though it is conceived of as world organization uniting the world to prevent war and aid human progress, it has been only a partial and insufficient step in its success because it has ignored gender balance both as recommended gender criteria for membership of national officialdoms in order to have the status of nations, and in its own legislative, executive and judicial functioning. Only telecommunications - the Internet, an Internetional gathering and thus, both beyond nationality while including people of the many nations, assembles and unites in consciousness, approximately equal numbers of men and women, from virtually all nations and regions "together", and it is therefore, the first and more natural community of venue to announce a criteria for real government, national or international regarding endowed Human Gendered Nature. But, of course, the UN must catch up.

The so-called UN of this moments, we declare, is yet just that - UNable to fully unite of humanity, without taking the bold steps necessary to bring forth gender balance. It can easily and will incorporate the natural approximate 50-50 gender standard into its functioning as its officers and members acknowledge simply that they currently do not yet, and if fact never have yet represent their whole peoples when gender parity and democracy are the definitions of representation. They can achieve this once they realize it is becoming worldwide telecommunicated opinion that their officialdoms are becoming anachronisms without it. and can ease the transition by acknowledging and discussing the human technological and social process we have described here necessitating the change. As leaders, Kofi Annan and Mary Robinson must eliminate the unnecessary hierarchy which divides their talent and mutuality, and must announce a new equal official partnership, aided in the announcement by spouses and male and female children in the announcement, to declare the that United Nations cannot formally use that name anymore, until it achieves gender actual balance among ambassadors as well as in nations that have attained human gender balance, which reinforces and maintains their mechanisms of political democracy and natural representation.

V. Naturally Universal Gender Balance Unites Our Shared World

Countries around the world gained voting rights for women in a series and then in fits and starts, like a wave for better government, in the days prior to the Internet. But, with the Internet, the Gender Berlin Walls of officialdom will may fall gently amidst rejoicing and candlelight celebrations in many places at once. Will the momentarily and currently still gender imbalanced US, England, Russia, Japan or Canada be the be the first next or last country to come to the Parite realizations of France and the Nordic nations in the post-industrial world? Or will all nations officially endorse this Declaration simultaneously, perhaps at an Assembly of a gender balanced and once again respected United Nations, combined and united with the Interparliamentary Union?

Once again to quote the French Manifesto, discussion, education, persuasion and encouragement are no longer sufficient to change a situation that has persisted despite the best of intentions. We, the women and men of equality of all countries. by posting this as email, sending it as fax, and including it in websites, do hereby telecommunicate our signatures and endorsements, which we know will also be soon accompanied by the signed signature of officials in every land if they would ever again wish to run for public office and obtain a popular vote in their land, in any land, on their continent and on any continent, and in a world of prosperity, mutuality and community for all.

In an archetypally interculturally shared Common Ground, a Wholeness unneedful of dominant male territoriality, of paradisal real or spiritually real timeless memory or expectation, the Earth was a timeless Garden and Paradise of Gender Mutuality and Respect. The male and female were at Home in deepest and most profound Love of each Gender for each other and for the One that includes and unites them within the energies of the Cosmos of which Gender is a Manifestation.
