Proposal #62: The more the merrier.

I propose to make CISV an organization that would not be mainly spread by word of mouth.

Rationale

I think CISV is big enough to start making serious efforts to take it to schools, universities, etc. And change what for many cisvers is one of the most important characteristics of the organisation: every new CISV member is backed by another CISV member. Being spread by word of mouth guarantees till some extent, that every newcomer is going to be someone that easily fits in the CISV world, which is good. But seeing how big CISV is nowadays, I think is about time to start giving opportunities to those who do not have friends inside CISV but would love to be in it, in conclusion, trying to be a bit less exclusive, that however we try to hide it, we still are.

Respectfully submitted, Máximo (ESP)
