Set up a web site called the Democratic Societies (DS). Invited members: all countries cited by freedomhouse.org as democracies. Rent tiny office (or mail box) across from UN. Organize webcam meeting, invite all UN reps of Democratic nations to attend (via webcam). Invite democratic NGO's to monitor. For those countries not sending official rep, post invitation on web site for ANY citizen of that country to act as interim rep. Hold a virtual meeting, elect a chair, and begin drafting a constitution. Follow "Robert's Rules of Order". First meeting: Bill of Rights for DS. Issue press releases, and hold DS votes on EVERY UN resolution, to provide DS counterpoint opinion. Initial funding: $1 from every DS web site visitor. Ask big blogs to help.
