Use is Authority and Ownership
In 2010 Globcal International incorporated as a cooperative non-profit limited liability corporation in Washington, DC. Soon understanding that incorporation did not yet suit the development of our organization we allowed for the organization to be administratively terminated to establish an offshore post-office (good offices) in Vienna, Austria for diplomatic recognition under Col. Djordje Marinkovic, Kentucky and EU Goodwill Ambassador living in Budapest, Hungary. During this time we maintained a high-profile presence on Facebook and Google Plus, many other organizations were developed copying our business concept and using our intellectual property.
In 2013 under the authority of Globcal International as an autonomous decentralized organization dedicated the "Goodwill Ambassadors Certification Committee" to develop a foundation and legal commission that could be recognized by "all types of goodwill ambassadors and the general public". In 2014 through 2017 we tried developing a World Passport product, then created our own Global Citizenship Passport Companion for Goodwill Ambassadors, thus were successful in creating a functional customs entry document that resulted in extended courtesies and treatment of travelers based on knowing more about them through presenting additional credentials (ie. doctor, professor, lawyer, goodwill ambassador, NGO worker).
From 2015 through 2020 the certification committee worked on documenting and validating an accurate history of the use of the term to claim authority over its use and to eliminate the illegal use, misuse, and otherwise infringing use to favor the proper and good use of the term as a copyright, an idea, name, trademark, title and appropriate designation with the formation of the Goodwill Ambassador Commission (Association).
Over the years Goodwill Ambassadors International, have spent countless hours studying the behaviors of commissioned, non-commissioned, unofficial, honorary, official, corporate, nonprofit, religious and politically motivated so-called goodwill ambassadors before we decided to push for the "Official Recognition" of the Goodwill Ambassador Title and to begin restricting authorized use of our common law trademark with a focus on organizations that create unrecognized and unauthorized goodwill ambassadors that have infringed on our trademark and the honorable title of goodwill ambassadors that work under governors of states and specialized agencies of the United Nations.
The Foundation (responsible for the commission) is a now primary charitable public and civil service commission that is administered by recognized Goodwill Ambassadors from a wide-variety of backgrounds. Any ambassador that is honorably or officially commissioned and registers with the Goodwill Ambassador Commission can be recognized starting in 2022.
