Second analytical summary

de Hervé Maillot, Allié. France , 20 de mayo de 2005

From an outside point of view, the main information midway through the consultation is that 50 persons out of the more than 6,500 Allies and non Allies that were addressed have answered the questionnaire: the participation rate is under 0.7%.

The answers overwhelmingly approve the Alliance as place of expression, sharing, awareness raising, brotherhood, and connection. Most of them emphasize the extreme need for such a place to counter the innumerable local and global fragmentation processes.

It then appears that in its current activity the Alliance does not always meet the expectations of its members: the word "concrete" frequently comes up in the answers. It refers to the desire to tackle the "real problems" (social, environmental, demographic, food, economic, etc.), the desire for action on the field, to the need that is felt to target specific objectives. The Constituent Charter proposal is often seen as too "theoretical," "fuzzy," or "conceptual" and for the participants, "concrete" means:
 a Charter that proposes rules to organize and encourage action, to increase the impact of the Alliance, to enforce its legitimacy, and to intensify the circulation of what it promotes;
 working procedures that encourage local initiatives and bottom-up processes to build a global community;
 an agenda that offers a strategic vision and a calendar that proposes events that will institute this community.

"It is only by accepting reality that we will be able to change it." This excerpt from an answer illustrates a shared concern, among others with regard to the Alliance’s communication strategy, its official and public positioning, its legitimacy, and its importance in the alterglobalist movement. And some participants then wonder: why not take inspiration from what brought about the success and the celebrity of events or organizations such as the WSF or ATTAC?

Finally, many answers give an impression of confusion in the view that some participants have of the relations between the FPH and the Alliance. For some, the two entities seem inextricably linked, almost merged. Others express the wish for a change in the somewhat single-parent nature of the Alliance.
