Although we will discuss the objectives of the scientific, educational, cultural, and communicative systems in greater depth during the fifth round of debate, we would like each participant to indicate to what degree each one of the following objectives can be shared by all the participants:
01. To moderate information and 'data abuse' through the use of conscience and understanding, as well as enabling an ascent to the more subtle spheres of the spirit and culture.

well intentioned but dont see how it can be done without dictatorship. This can only be a very loose goal, not anything that can be operationalised. 
c´est dificule de separer l´information , la culture et la formation . dans chaque culture il ya le tabu , c´est a dire de verite qu´on peut pas exposer dans..., et c´est tabu est toujours lier a la formation.
Il faudrait certainement revisiter le Rapport McBride de l'Unesco sur le nouvel ordre de l'information. Il y a tant de vérités et d'éléments que ce rapport avait mis en lumière mais que certains médias qui ont le monopole au Nord et surtout aux États Unis ne voulaient pas car cela empiéteraient sur leurs prés carrés que l'on a jeté l'eau du bain ainsi que le bébé. Presque 3 décennies plus tard, on semble réinventer la roue!!!!02. To detach science and technology from business, avoiding their subordination to economic groups or State domination interests, instead relocating them inside an extensive spectrum of knowledge as a world heritage.
le siecle dont nous sommes , il faut eviter de vaforiser l´esprit de benevole , c-a-d de gratuite.la science et la tecnologia sont cher , mais chose important il faut les metrent a la porte de tous , qui le doit 03. Scientific results should belong to the whole of society and not to industrial (or other forms of) monopoly. Advancements in technological and scientific knowledge should benefit all, in opposition to the current supremacy of the immediate, private commercial benefit.04. To develop dialogical and plural systems of global mass media, open to all voices: from the local to the global, avoiding its conversion into a private business and its use as a mechanism of free-thought control.05. To promote a liberating and significant education for all throughout their lives.06. We want alternative educational processes that will teach us how to address the many forms of violence, as they are directly preventing us from satisfying our basic needs. This alternative education will also teach us how to enact peace at all levels and in all areas of our individual lives as well as in our local and global society.07. We must protect cultures through adequate means in the various dimensions of their expressions.08. We must look to de-legitimise capitalism as an expression of dehumanising modernity, by using all possible spaces to develop critical thinking with regards to the economy, ecology, politics and culture.09. To put an end to the commercialization of the female body in society, especially in the mass media and advertising, for their major capacity to generate public opinion, of making visible what is important and what is not. Gender inequality is at the base of the pyramid that supports chauvinist violence: violence against women and children, but also against any person, justified by the model of male supremacy.General comments
Many repetitions in different parts, weak subordination of propositions

It is a little difficult to vote. Are we voting for what we might like to see happen, or pertain? Or are we voting for ideas that might prove most useful to achieving change? Many comments are merely aspirations, disconnected from any possibility of being useful to bringing about change.

Los distintos niveles de votación cuando se vota están representados por logos o íconos muy pequeños y poco diferenciados en colores, lo que es una desventaja desde el punto de vista operativo, pues luego de votar no se tiene absoluta certeza de lo que se votó. Claro, una idea se tiene imaginando que la graduación de opciones siempre se presenta en el mismo orden, donde la más satisfactoria está a la izquierda y donde el "No sé, no contesto" está bien a la derecha. O debieran agrandarse los íconos, o al menos una vez emitido el voto debiera indicarse con palabras el nivel de satisfacción del voto emitido; esto último parece más sencillo de implementar (tal vez) que agrandar los íconos.

The proposals are good, but even could better, specific, and easily understandable. Objectives of the scientific, educational, cultural, and communicative systems shouldn't be articulated in vague terms.

Globalements les propsitions sont bonnes mais restent bien souvent des voeux pieux car elles ne sont pas assorties de propositions de solutions pour les atteindre. Il faudrait donc les revoir et les rendre plus concis et trouver une manière d'avancer aussi des éléments concrets afin d'accéder au monde que nous rèvons de voir émerger au XXIe siècle: un monde juste, équitable, respectueux des droits mais aussi des devoirs de tous dans l'interdépendance et la solidarité

Proposals seems to be more from the realms of wishes then explains how you want to achieve them. For instance to counterpause Violence to Non Violence in a simplistic manner.
Imperialist wars are waged in Irak, Afganistan and Palestine
then you have Racism and Casteism . Will revolting against such Barbarism be termed as " Violence ".
