Greenpeace Management Structure Information sought

For a paper I have to write, I'm looking for information about Greenpeace
International. The things I'm interested in are basically concerned with
the management structure of Greenpeace but also with their changing objectives
in a rapidly changing world. Please scan through my questions and feel free to
send any coment. These questions are not only concerned with one specific
Greenpeace division, so all nations please feel free to send any information
about your local Greenpeace organization/structure. I'm also thankfull for
local contact information in each country.

I'll post the results. If enough information comes in from enough different
places I'll also post how many reactions came in from what country.
It would also be interesting to have a list of global Greenpeace
stations and E-Mail adresses listed.

Let's get started.


- Greenpeace Worldwide
  - who is in charge of all the worldwide subsidiaries (names and countries)?
  - in which countries do subsidiaries exist ?
  - How big and how influential are these local groups ?

- Long-/Short-term planning strategies - protest is not enough anymore
  - are strategies or projects provided to help/assist willing businesses to
    change their production and company philosophy ?
  - Does Greenpeace have its own (hired or cooperating) research staff ?
  - is a cooperation with or the establishment of an ecological bank planned
    (like the Oekobank in Germany) ?
  - how far does the cooperation with human rights groups such as AI etc. go?
  - how is Greenpeace preparing itself for big problems (greenhouse effect,
    poisened water and air, AIDS, poverty etc.) ?
  - how is Greenpeace dealing with the changes in the former East-bloc ?
  - how does Greenpeace learn from its mistakes (do internal analyzing
    commitees exist) ?

- Freedom of action
  - who is planning/deciding actions ?
  - who is coordinating them ?
  - who is in charge/responsible of them ?
  - what can be decided by the 'footsoldiers' ?
  - what has to be approved by the 'management'?

- Innovation
  - to what extent is innovation (new action ideas, restructuring after
    mistakes, etc.) triggered from the permanent, paid activist crew or from
    the outside (members, companies, other environmentalist groups etc.) ?

- External Communication    (with the outside world)
  - PR department (aim, to whom is it responsible) ?
  - Law suit department (does Greenpeace need it, who activates it) ?
  - Ethnic department, being in charge of harmonizing actions with local
    ethnic groups (does something like this exist, if yes how does it
    operate) ?

- Internal Communication    (with the inside world)
  - How does information flow within Greenpeace
      Topdown (from the 'boss' to the 'footsoldiers')
      Downtop (from the members to the management)
  - Who knows more about the 'Greenbase environment info system' ?
  - Who knows more about the communication nets and e-mail adresses
    of Greenpeace ?

- The 'Business' Greenpeace
  - To what extent is Greenpeace depending on donations ?
  - Could Greenpeace stay alive with the money it makes from it's own
    businesses (selling environmentally correct products, charity concerts,
    music-productions etc.) ?
  - Does Greenpeace has a business philosophy besides helping the environment
    (making as much profit as possible, sponsoring local activities,
    investing in certain farm-projects etc.) ?

- Greenpeace Management
  - Does Greenpeace provide management training for 'qualified members' ?
  - How many management levels does Greenpeace need to get its business done?

- Motivation
  - Is the 'crew' stimulated by the outside or does the management have to
    think of ideas to motivate their people ?
