The Bivings Report: A Wiki at the United Nations

Excerpt:
"PBwiki and the United Nations have partnered to integrate a wiki into the United Nationals Global Compact which was started in 2000 to serve as a forum of social actors (non-government organizations, companies, trade organizations, governments, etc.) who commit to 10 central principles concerning human rights, labor standards, the environment, and corruption.

The Communication on Progress Reviewing Project wiki has great potential. Beyond its potential of facilitating collaboration between participants on how they can better adhere to the 10 principals by, for example, sharing successful or unsuccessful strategies, it also can add more transparency to the organization."

Alex: If done right, this could be a lot bigger than one might even originally think (not just at UN either, speaking generally). Potential impact of these types of technologies can be huge.
