    [edit] Expand article

    This article could be improved by expansion and by new sections related to the concepts involved. I propose the following.

    1. Market behavior

    2. The impact of information systems on organisations and markets, and changing economies (efficiencies) particularly as they relate to the cost of transaction processing. Also linkage with economic and information systems articles.

    For instance [[1]] might be a good start point. (CITED BY 47 section). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Theo Pardilla (talk • contribs) 11:09, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

    3. Comparison of the conceptual similaries between equal global personal rationing value allocation and equal democratic vote value, internationally recognised human rights and discussion about who owns emission trading rights and whether they are humanistically naturally preexisting / god given rights or whether their legitimacy is bestowed upon people by some authority. (from an economic, market, philosophic and moral principle basis rather than ideological rants)

    4. Various proposed models sorted from decentralised, where individual people buy and sell emission rights or where individuals can sell but not buy with purchasing being done by traditional energy companies and with the increased cost being transferred to end users at point of purchase, to more centralised models where the lowest level of trading is at a collective, state or national level retaining only a proportional percentage of global rights on per capita basis.

    5. Benefits, drawbacks and limitations of particular models for various national economies

    6. Transistion mechanisms and methods

    7. Political. Attitudes and interests of the: Political class, business (generally and various sectors) and the population.

    8. Analysis from socialist, social democratic, capitalist viewpoints

    9. Lists of organisations, projects, articles, government reviews / committees / programs, international bodies with past or active participation.

    • Although some schemes are being investigated, there are no mandatory personal schemes in place, so a lot of those questions won't be able to be answered unless and until it comes into place.

    >>Well, perhaps there may be an element of difficulty in researching and reporting these concepts at this early stage, however thats hardly a reason to not do so. The current absense of actual working schemes should not limit substantially the expansion of the article and is infact mostly independent of the existence of actual schema. For example; "6. Transistion mechanisms and methods" This could include various proposed schemes and an analysis of them and even comparing them to other large scale transistion techniques. Or 3. Human rights etc. Surely an analysis of human rights principles as applied to Global resource allocation does not require the existence of an operating scheme. Certainly its more than within the capabilities of contributors to do so.
