A framework for creating

an active community

N.A.N.I. New Authority Network International

The New Authority

vision

“The old authority is built like a pyramid: the authority figure

stands at the top and commands the levels below him.

The new authority is built like a network. The authority figure

draws her power and influence from the parties who

authorize her and give her the means to do her/his job.”

(The New Authority chap. 8)

The internet serves as a net that connects people.

Linking the internet as a tool and the New Authority as a

frame of thinking calls for options to combine them together.

Here are some examples from our website team work in Israel:

The New Authority

And the (Inter)Net

Publishing professional information

Using a school’s website as a promoter of transparency

and public announcements.

Creating support groups for teachers at the same school.

Using forums for parents before counseling.

Enhancing NVR acts for trained professionals.

Can we use these ideas to try and create a world

wide community for NVR & NA?

The purpose of N.A.N.I. is to allow each individual –

parent, educator, director, administrator or professional

to obtain knowledge about NVR & the New Authority

concept. Our intent is not only to allow for reading and

learning, but to encourage each person to join

discussion groups and publish through the site papers,

articles, case studies etc. regarding NVR and the New

Authority. In this way all who are interested can

contribute and advance the concept of New Authority,

and by that expanding the network of support and

knowledge.

Announcement

The importance of community and the strength of the authority

figure – A human circle forms a community in which the

authority figure is an important part.

The authority figure is an integral part of the community, but

also one who can be leaned on when necessary.

Involvement and Watchful Care – the human circle also forms

a watchful eye, representative of the importance of the vigilant

care by the authority figure.

A blue circle for an idea that we hope that will spread around

the world.

Hello Ishay,

usefull for another child

This forum really helps me

strengthen my message.
