Subject: transcorporate
Willard,
The recent discussion of insider use of terminological shorthand (and
some other circumstances) has led me to inquire if any of the folks
conversant with the relevant grey literature mihgt be able to ascertain
the emergence of a concept of "transcorporate" governance.
One of the other cirmcumstances was a conversation with an IBM knowledge
management consultant that turned to the "extra muros" theme in the
context of enterprises participating in economic sector or industry fora.
If large multinational corporations are now described as "transnationals",
is there some group of thinkers exploring the texture of a
"transcorporate" entities?
The other circumstance that leads me to turn my thoughts thuswards is the
upcoming World Summit on Information Society.
Is Humanist in some sense "trans-corporate"?

Subject: non sibi sed omnibus
I am chasing words expressing a particular insight: that some practices,
though done in solitude, are done for others. One such expression conjoins
two others, which I think are originally separate: alis volat propriis, non
sibi sed omnibus "he flies with his own wings, not for himself but for
others". Another expression may be originally in English: approximately,
"art is a practice done alone but for others". Help finding sources for
these, even if they are proverbial, would be greatly appreciated.
Yours,
WM
