"Actionable themes" refers to 21 themes that were debated decided in the Content and Methodology Commission (of the WSF International Council) meeting held in Nairobi from the 16th to 18th Dec. 2006.

Two versions

About the Proposed Revisions

The order may be left as it is. Let's agree that these actionable themes are all of great concern to the WSF, and that regardless of their order, this list provides a handy, yet fairly complete overview.

"2. National /International Institutions and Democracy" to be changed to "Institutions and Democracy". - Reason: Obviously, the WSF deals with both national and international institutions, as well as with regional and global, or "world", institutions.

"4. Housing" to be enlarged to "4. Habitat and housing".

"15. Debt" to be changed to "15. Taxation, debt and public finance". - Reasons: a) from the start, taxation has been a major theme of the WSF. Compare, for instance, the role of ATTAC (Association to Tax financial Transactions to Aid Citizens) in the making of the WSF. b) In order to have public services (Water, Health, Education etc.), we need public finances. At the global level, a new financial architecture and world public finances are needed.

"17. Free Trade" to be changed to "Trade and transportation". - Reason: a) Trade as such may well on the WSF's agenda; b) transportation probably needs to be mentioned somewhere among the actionable themes.

Slashes (/) have been substituted with commas and "and". - Reason: the slashes sometimes seem to indicate opposition, in other cases just conjunction, which may be confusing.
