An unofficial site in support of the Simultanous Policy is launched today. The Simultaneous Policy (SP) will consist of a variety of policy measures, each of which is to be implemented by national governments simultaneously, as soon as sufficient nations have adopted the policy measure(s) concerned. SP represents a unique consensus-building strategy for solving global problems.
"The Simultaneous Policy (SP) aims to restore genuine democracy by creating a genuine 'community of nation states' built upon consensus such that proper democratic control over global markets and corporations is restored. The ultimate aim of SP is the transformation of the international economy such that it operates in harmony with the global natural environment and with the needs of human nature. The measures required to bring this about will be implemented globally and simultaneously. Governments, politicians, individuals and other organisations can adopt the principle of SP today. See 
http://www.simpol.org/ for further details and to adopt SP. SP will be implemented when all or nearly all governments have adopted SP, in accordance with the conditions set in the policy. The following unofficial draft policy is a possible set of measures to be implemented. This may be reproduced, with or without alterations, in any form as long as this header is included. If alterations are made to the text, this must be clearly indicated in the title. The text that follows may have been altered. The original text can be found at http://spdev.gn.apc.org/ where SP adopters can vote on the text and suggest amendments and find details of the 'copyleft' license under which this has been published."
