The agenda for the upcoming Saturday, October 8th, 2016 WUaS, monthly, business meeting is here - http://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2016/10/please-join-us-at-our-open-annual.html.
I've attached WUaS's financial report for September 2016 in this WUaS business meeting email.
World University and School is looking for a new, Board member, for example, to focus on fundraising, and to actually bring in significant monies for WUaS.org, the Non-Proift wing.
The next, open, hour-long, WUaS, monthly business meeting is on Saturday, November 12th, 2016.
And this month I'll continue to send out a second email after business meeting with WUaS Minutes.
You'll also find some previous monthly business meetings (conducted electronically in the manner of F/friends) as examples in Google Hangouts here - http://scottmacleod.com/papers.htm. WUaS's active blog with past monthly business information is here - http://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com.
For people on the sporadic, somewhat frequent, WUaS, email list, or who wish to be, WUaS is posting actively to both the WUaS Google Group (world-university-and-school@googlegroups.com), and the WUaS Yahoo Group (worlduniversityandschool@yahoogroups.com), both of which allow for daily and weekly digests. Please join these groups for daily and weekly digests.
Concerning this WUaS team email list, we'll generally send out business meeting emails twice a month. If you'd like to receive more frequent, sporadic, WUaS emails, please reply to this email telling me so. If you could, please REPLY with UNSUBSCRIBE, or an alternative email address, if you wish NOT to receive WUaS's emails, or receive them in a different email account, - and WUaS would be very grateful.
World University and School is planning to become the MIT / Harvard / Yale / Stanford / Oxbridge of the Internet, and in all 7,097+ living languages and 206+ countries (in recent Olympics), with online, Creative Commons' licensed MIT OCW-centric university degrees in large languages.
Free, Creative Commons' licensed, online, wiki WUaS, like Wikipedia with MIT OCW, is planned for all 3,000-8,000 languages and for around 204 countries, with free degrees accrediting on C.C. MIT OpenCourseWare in 7 languages and C.C. Yale OYC+, - and will help many, many people.
