This sounds like an interesting and fun idea on a number of levels. As soon as I read it I began trying to think of ideas and/or suggestions to help the effort given its ambitious nature. My first thought was some electronic means as has been mentioned, such as scanning, digital signatures or even faxing, which is do-able and would certainly make it easier but I sort of dismissed that because I think that would take away from the personal feel. It seems the banner should span the world and actually be in the hands of all the participants at one point. Sort of a musical version of the Olympic torch. I also think pictures posted here of each person (or group) signing it, as Chris suggested, would really make for a great thread that would preserve the effort on the forum in pictures. That would rules out any type of digital signature.
I’ve been checking various worldwide shipping companies (UPS, FedEx, DHL etc.) to see if there’s a way to ‘daisychain’ a package to go from one place to another as would be needed for this. Perhaps if that can be done by one company it might make the task a little easier for everyone. I see DHL and Purolator courier have a Chain of Signature service that tracks shipments through each step of a transportation route but that is more for legal and security control although the idea is on the right track. I’ll talk to my UPS guy when he gets to my office and see if he has any suggestions.
Oh did I mention I was interested? … I am, I think it’s a great idea for the TG “family”
