GlobalCommit is a “non-profit incubator.” It is a non-profit public benefit organization designed to help globally-concerned citizens plug into whatever productive, vital causes they feel need to be worked on, whether that project is hyperlocal, or truly worldwide in scope.
GlobalCommit projects are myriad: pro-social civic engagement (Civility Movement), political, racial and religious tolerance (CoexistSTANCE), Social Media Emergency Management (SMEM) (Rockaways – Hurricane Sandy News,…GlobalCommit is a “non-profit incubator.” It is a non-profit public benefit organization designed to help globally-concerned citizens plug into whatever productive, vital causes they feel need to be worked on, whether that project is hyperlocal, or truly worldwide in scope.
GlobalCommit projects are myriad: pro-social civic engagement (Civility Movement), political, racial and religious tolerance (CoexistSTANCE), Social Media Emergency Management (SMEM) (Rockaways – Hurricane Sandy News, Philippines Typhoon Aid), public health crises, urban renewal and redevelopment (Neponsit Home Redevelopment), even rural agricultural development (Feeding Liberia).
Whatever you feel you want to commit to, bring your idea to GlobalCommit, and, if it fits our profile, we’ll see how we can onboard your program ethically, legally, and responsibly.
GlobalCommit is based in San Jose, CA. It is the culmination of and next step after years of work performed by independent individuals all in good faith, yet as volunteer non-incorporated efforts. In January 2015, Peter Corless, through the fiscal sponsorship of Jen Q. Adams, founder of LAHAF, Inc. (Lend a Hand and Foot, Inc.) established GlobalCommit.
Thus, though GlobalCommit was a brand new organization, it is now the legal entity under which many pre-existing all-volunteer independent efforts are now finding the legal basis to grow and flourish. Programs created under GlobalCommit can continue to grow and scale through the organization, or, over time, may be launched as fully-independent non-profits in their own right.
GlobalCommit is a fiscally-sponsored program of LAHAF, Inc., a New York City-based IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation.

Coordinated disaster relief and recovery information using Facebook, Twitter, texts, email, phone, and other Internet media.

Social Media work is performed virtually either in San Jose CA or in New York City, in coordination with "boots-on-the-ground" volunteers and affected members of the Rockaways and Broad Channel communities in Queens, NY. Spent December 2012 - January 2013 in the storm-affected communities, meeting with affected residents, community leaders, volunteers, and government officials.
Work in the Rockaways led to the regional "Walk A Mile in Our Shoes" for Sandy Relief movement (facebook.com/SandyWalkAMile) and other Sandy-affected region leadership activities.

It hosted community walks throughout Nassau County, New York City, and New Jersey on the weekend of 12-13 January 2013.

Peter Corless began his involvement with Hurricane Sandy through the Rockaways - Hurricane Sandy News (facebook.com/RockawaysHurricaneSandy). He partnered with Michael Sciaraffo of the Secret Sandy Claus Project to co-found the "Walk A Mile in Our Shoes" movement to raise awareness on a regional and national level.

A method and system thereof for implementing and controlling the electronic distribution of intellectual property using protocols other than the Internet Protocol. A request for intellectual property is codified according to a protocol other than an Internet Protocol.

The intellectual property is modeled and offered for different types of distribution (e.g., for sale, rent, etc.). In response to a request for access to and use of the intellectual property, the legal rights and limitations associated with the type of distribution requested are provided. For example, a hypertext reference can be used to invoke the legal rights and limitations associated with the type of distribution. An agreement to these legal rights and limitations is reached and executed, and stored for subsequent reference and use. The digital rights framework provides a method and system for processing information encoded in a standardized and extensible format (e.g., Extensible Markup Language, XML) for modeling and representing the legal rights, limitations and responsibilities for intellectual properties distributed, for example, over the World Wide Web using Internet Protocol.

A user can acquire a license conveying rights in intellectual properties by accessing a designated site and making a digital license request. Terms and conditions that can be accepted by the user are then made available to the user in the form of a model digital license agreement. Agreement to the terms of the model digital license agreement by the user, and acceptance thereof by the Licensor, creates a digital license agreement that conveys the intellectual property rights defined in the digital license agreement. The final form of the digital license agreement, after agreement thereto by the Licensor and the user, creates a digital license agreement representation that is a digital representation of the terms and conditions that define the intellectual property rights conveyed.

Rockaway - Hurricane Sandy News [Disaster Response]

My family has been connected to the Rockaways going back to my childhood. We bought a house on the Peninsula in the 1970s, and my mother still lives there. Even before Hurricane Sandy hit, I had been monitoring NOAA/NWS sources, and tracked the storm as it made landfall. The night of its destruction, I listened live to the FDNY's Queens dispatch, which is carried over the Internet. While most phone and network service was knocked out in the city, I could listen as fires raged out of control…
My family has been connected to the Rockaways going back to my childhood. We bought a house on the Peninsula in the 1970s, and my mother still lives there. Even before Hurricane Sandy hit, I had been monitoring NOAA/NWS sources, and tracked the storm as it made landfall. The night of its destruction, I listened live to the FDNY's Queens dispatch, which is carried over the Internet. While most phone and network service was knocked out in the city, I could listen as fires raged out of control. Breezy Point grew from a 4-alarm, to a 5-alarm, 6-alarm, 7-alarm blaze. I posted what I was hearing to other friends on Facebook. One of my elementary school classmates from the Rockaways, in tears at the news, begged me to help tell the world what was going on. By the next morning, this project was launched.
Monitoring events day-by-day, I organized a community of thousands through Facebook, sharing the often chaotic news from disparate sources. I've helped communicate with and even edited Red Cross and FEMA resources, correcting information such as street addresses as only a native son might understand. I've helped route food, clothing and even gasoline deliveries. I've brought attention to problems of bringing aid to shut-ins, power outages, sinkholes, mold remediation, and other serious issues impacting the community.
We share news about status of family & friends, report property and community destruction, and stories about survival of
Hurricane Sandy. We maintain resources for disaster relief:
• In Search Of - for locating friends/family
• People that are Fine - for located friends/family
• In Need Of - linkes to where you can get services
• Rockaway Travel Advisory
• Rockaway Donation Sites
• Cleanup Needed
• Mold Removal Resources
• School Changes for Rockaways
• Thanksgiving Events for Rockaways
• Goodwill & Clothing Donations for Rockaways
• Elected Officials
• First Responder Requirements
• Many links and posted documents from government sourcesOther creators -
