btw dig the letterhead.  Mussolini would be proud.

"The SCN will connect cities, city-level practitioners and the communities they represent through a series of workshops, trainings and sustained city partnerships.  Network participants will also contribute to and benefit from an online repository of municipal-level good practices and web-based training modules and will be eligible for grants supporting innovative, local initiatives and strategies that will contribute to building social cohesion and resilience to violent extremism."

Gee kind of like how Britain took on Chinese crowd control for the Olympics. 
We'll throw money at the problem until we're hacked!

"The SCN will include an International Steering Committee of approximately 25 cities and other sub-national entities from different regions that will provide the SCN with its strategic direction.  The SCN will also convene an International Advisory Board, which includes representatives from relevant city-focused networks, to help ensure SCN builds upon their work.  It will be run by the Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD), a leading international “think-and-do” tank with a long-standing track record of working to prevent violent extremism: "

The SCN will do jack crap as it will be twice as big as the Security Council and just as diverse.
Is violent extremism on the rise? Has been for a while?  I'd prefer a think tank with a long standing record of doing something rather than a long-standing track record of working at doing something and failing.

"The Strong Cities Network will launch on Sept. 29, from 4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. EDT, following the Leaders’ Summit on Countering ISIL and Violent Extremism.  Welcoming remarks will be offered by the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Prince Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein and Mayor Bill de Blasio of New York City, who will also introduce a Keynote address by U.S. Attorney General Lynch.  Following this event, the Strong Cities International Steering Committee, consisting of approximately 25 mayors and other leaders from cities and other sub-national entities from around the globe, will hold its inaugural meeting on Sept. 30, 2015, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. EDT."

So after 90 minutes of blah they will go to dinner and their hotels, and then waste an entire DAY on this meeting.  WTF. 
If you got 25 police chiefs and their staffs to meet and then go home and brief the politicians it might get something done.
These guys are just gonna holler for more $$$$$$ from the national governments.

gotta disagree with you izard I don't trust those Shinto bastards
Let's remember Pearl Harbor

False.  Congress just passed an extremely helpful bill that should help reduce foreign and domestic terrorism.
