What is a National NewPOL (National Coordinating) "Team"?

The "Team" in any country is made up of members - ideally a core of 10 to 100 members depending on the country (eg. Monaco versus the US or China) - who represent the concerns, hopes and interests of the citizens of their country. They come from all ages, backgrounds and socioeconomic statuses, but they have one skill in common: interdisciplinary potential. The "Team" is therefore something like a general task force on permanent standby with some members choosing to take part in one or more of the IMNRC-NewPOL Network's activities: the WSWBQoLP, the IMIRC, Interface Events, answering calls with concrete proposals (PS1, PS3, PS4, CWIN 9, ...) There may be some overlapping of course.

In other words, the "Team" for country X shall consist of many different sub-teams each with its own preference.

Each can be considered as a kind of enterprise of its own.

All projects are necessarily components of the WSWBQoLP, itself a component of the Interface Project (I'm simplifying)

The NSWBQoL (sub)Team.

The NSWBQoL Team (and none other) shall be the Team in charge of creating a National Society Well Being and Quality of Life Profile. The NSWBQoL Team must bear in mind that their National Society Well Being and Quality of Life Profile must have a tomorrow and be conducive to achieving and sustaining SWBQoL in their country. In other words the NSWBQoL Team must give evidence of considerable integrated interdisciplinary potential. This means training.

Why the name "NewPOL Team"?

There is a need to harmonise the differences for maximum efficiency.

Please refer to the following model (explained elsewhere): WSWBQoLP Team = National SWBQoL Team = National Interface Team ---> National Interface Ministry ---> Network of National Interface Ministries ---> linked to an EU/UN/Equivalent DG Interface Department.

Since the one and only National Interface Ministry IS INTERDISCIPLINARILY INTEGRATED with its own people and the people in other countries through the other National Interface Minstries, it necessarily interacts with everybody from bottom-up to top-down not only in its own country but also with foreign countries. The National Interface Ministry therefore CANNOT impose unilaterally any directive on its own people against their will.

The word « interface » whilst of fundamental importance has the advantage of being neutral, apolitical, acultural, areligious. So it can be used anywhere.

The Italian WSWBQoLP Team can be called the Italian Interface Team. But the word « interface » still raises far too many eyebrows because the word is not understood: sounds weird and invites « suspicion ». Now the expression NewPOL Network is well known and becoming internationally accepted. NewPOL stands for New POLicy or New POLitics or New Physics Of Life or New POlymerase reaction...

Our suggestion is therefore that the Italian WSBQoLP Team = the Italian SWBQoL Team = the Italian Interface Team = the Italian NewPOL Team represented by many different people/associations/companies, etc... The Team therefore retains its « identity » whilst forming part of a common vision. The subtlety here is that this « common » vision is aconceptual, apolitical, acultural and areligious.

help to coordinate the NewPOL Network's activities with the interests of their country's population and governance. These are multiple: CWINs (Customised World Interdisciplinary Networks), Pilot Schemes, (WSWBQoLP) World Society Well Being and Quality of Life Project, IMIRC (International Multidisciplinary Interface Research Congress), EU FP and Non-FP Calls for Proposals, Non-EU Calls for Proposals, Private Projects. Each and everyone of these activities have multiple components to a lesser or greater degree: academic, artistic, public relations, enterprise, business, administration, constitution, governance, political, economic, education, cultural, ...

are interactive interfaces that cross-link/think their national societies’ artificially multifragmented components. Through its bottom-up top-down strategy, the cross-linking/thinking/coordinating potential of each NC Team can prove to be an extremely useful (not to say vital) partner for ANY national governance, whatever the government.

have the potential to become - or give birth to - their own Country’s Interface Ministry that shall in turn form a global network of Interface Ministries with all the other countries' Interface Ministries in turn linked to an EU/UN (or the equivalent) DG Interface Department.

One of the main tasks of National Coordinators is combating the major disease of all times: inertia!

deals with ALL the NewPOL Network's national and international activities. This differs from National Coordinating Team Members (See below)

forwards all the communications received from the Principal Coordinator of the NewPOL Network to his/her National NewPOL Team Members and Ordinary/Simple Members (general Pool) who come from the same country and relays all the feedback from its own country to the Principal Coordinator of the NewPOL Network.

explains and develops the activities of the NewPOL Network in his/her own country: this often implies the creation of a NewPOL Network Satellite web site written in his/her own native language and that can be presented as an internal link (e.g. the Italian and Chinese websites) or as an external link.

sends in a Progress Report every month (or week if need be). This Progress Report is published on the NC Team's Progres Report Web Page.The NC Team cannot be expected to send in a Progress Report on entry, but they can send a Plan of Action. For your information, the best Progress Report so far is Russian and can be consulted at http://www.imnrc.org/NCN/NCs/NC%20Russia/pr_3.htm

recruits new participants for the NewPOL Network.

contacts the local/national authorities (political, educational, press, SMEs, ...), potential investors and sponsors

manages and organises the tasks equally between all its Members.

supervises its NewPOL Network National Financial Pool

All applications for the post of Principal National Coordinator must be sent to me. Selection of National NewPOL Team Leaders is based on their NewPOL Profile, outstanding integrated interdisciplinary and leadership potential.

What is a NewPOL Profile?

A NewPOL Profile differs from a classic/conventional CV or resume. The presentation is less "academic" and more accessible to the general public... for example by adding some more personal notes: hobbies, interests in life, family, ... A small photo is required for the NC Team Leader. [I shall be asking for three different photos from everyone later in fact: professional, family and during your vacation for example]. The selected NC Team Leader is after all a human being. Not just a HPC... :-)

Many of the people in a given country may not have the impressive academic background of the Principal National Coordinators and some - with little or no qualifications (or even no job) but with something interesting to say - may feel uneasy (or intimidated) if the profile is too "austere".

So, the FIRST thing is to make people feel at ease and completely free to get in touch with you. You don't want the people saying: "My Goodness! There is such a difference between him/her and me...I'll be ridiculous... with "just" my "little" idea. Forget it..."

If the people hesitate...you - and we - shall lose them.

Perhaps those who have not been "educated" in a mould shall prove more creative.....??..... :-)) This is why open public participation is so important.
