Dear Professor Forrester,

Thank you very much for sending your comments concerning supporting public.

I agree with following your ideas:
>I believe that those in government are not the proper target. Instead we
>should be addressing the public with clarifying insights about the major
>problems of a country.  Those in government need a supporting public.  (…)
"The system dynamics approach that I have been describing is very different 
 from the emphasis on data gathering and statistical analysis that occupies 
 much of social research." (Forrester, 2006, 1995)

I think we need  to receive full support both from governments, decision makers 
and from the public. The question is on which way. The system dynamic approach 
seems to be very comprehensive tool to present our ideas which are important to 
public.

Nowadays we are in quite new global situation: in the State of Change and Risk. 
We need to change shortsighted economic growth into sustained economic growth, 
and change pernicious globalization into fair globalization (that allow full 
and productive employment and decent work for all).

Particularly, rapid economic growth of world developing countries like China 
should be taken under ecohumanistic control. I support the view it is impossible 
without system dynamics.

As a first step in this direction I propose to convince policy makers that they 
need a new tool: DYNAMIC MONITORING.

I propose to build  in multi stage way,
continuously under development, commonly accessible, worldwide (net and GRID)
sustainable development information system for:
- dynamic monitoring,
- long range forecasting, and
- measurable evaluation of
policy, economy, work and other changes
in the life conditions

My proposals are available on web page:

World - Grid Type, Continuously Under-development - System Dynamics

DYNAMIC MONITORING is essential for policy corrections.

I am looking forward to your opinion.

Best regards –
