Activities of The World Calendar Association during the first half of last century followed worldwide study of possible alternatives to the Gregorian calendar. TWCA supported conclusions that The World Calendar would likely be the best replacement and considered membership in the organization to be "based on an active interest in the study of an adequate and effective improvement of the calendar.” .. *

During the fifty years since the United Nations indefinitely tabled the calendar reform topic, more study has not provided a better alternative to The World Calendar. (Internet technology today allows easy verification of that statement. Some of the articles on this site offer comparisons to other calendar reform ideas.) TWCA requests anyone who is interested in more study to do it immediately so lack of study will not be used later to delay The World Calendar in 2012. TWCA will consider new information if and as it develops but otherwise is proceeding towards The World Calendar in 2012.

Like most any change, calendar reform will happen if enough individuals decide it should happen and then appropriately make their wishes known. Few projects have the opportunity to benefit more people than The World Calendar in 2012 but the key is simultaneous awareness. The goal and the timeline can come together if everyone who likes The World Calendar idea tells others about The World Calendar in 2012.

This is a way to avoid repetition of criticism at the United Nations in 1954 which claimed there was no evidence of substantial majority support for calendar reform. Indeed, technology simply did not yet exist to allow a majority of people living at the time to learn about The World Calendar and voice their opinions about it. Today, near-immediate reports of national and world news demonstrate how much that has changed. Today, awareness of calendar reform and growing support for it can expand as much as required in a short period of time. Stated differently, this is a realistic challenge for every individual to play a part in vast worldwide and long overdue improvement. The very increase in the accumulated number of MEMBERS can help draw attention to the efforts of individuals but The World Calendar in 2012 will happen because enough individuals put aside all doubt and explained the relevance to other individuals.
