PURPOSE
The formation of leadership for a Community HEALTH Forum, or Forum, could initially evolve through a variety of scenarios. The success of these various scenarios for a community might be difficult to define. It is possible that the most definable factor might be the history of a community’s effort to invest in its level of social capital by its own resident persons. In spite of the unknowns associated with the initial formation of a Forum, a basic requirement for its success may be its ability to promote the norms of Trust, Cooperation, and Reciprocity within their community.
In the beginning, the informal identification of 3 to 5 persons or an existing non-profit institution might be an option. The initial impetus for starting could also occur from the formalization of NATIONAL HEALTH by Congress, a local community de novo, the Mayor of a community, or a State’s legislature. Clearly, the traditions of volunteerism for our nation provide a basis for the occurrence of serendipity, as well.
With the presence of NATIONAL HEALTH, the success of an initial Advocate Panel for a Forum might eventually become more predictable when our nation already has a large number of pre-existing Forums. This knowledge would be important for the eventual need to re-organize an Advocate Panel that had become associated with actions requiring its termination. The occurrence of the “free-rider” problem within the management of a common-pool resource requires persistent vigilance. Thus, the presence of NATIONAL HEALTH may be the best means to assure the vigilance necessary to assure that certain PRINCIPLES are uniformly honored as in Altruism, Trust, Cooperation, Reciprocity, and Excellence.
The initiating intent for the formation of each Forum is to promote the reform of population HEALTH and its healthcare, community by community. With an initial focus to improve the equitable availability of Primary Healthcare and to monitor its healthcare efficiency, the existence of a Forum must also improve the full spectrum of population HEALTH for each of a community’s resident persons. The solutions exist locally and should be considered with a generational perspective. A broadly focused involvement of its resident persons and a community’s commitment to their Survival Commons would achieve the most focused and balanced strategy for improving the Stable HEALTH of Each Resident Person.

[COMMENT: A person’s association with a conflict of interest may represent a necessary attribute for the improvement of a community’s Survival Commons, as long as the person acknowledges a commitment to the standards of Collaboration, Transparency, and Trust. What represents a substantial conflict of interest might be best determined by a consensus among the Forum’s initiating resident persons from within the c
