Dear Universitians and friends, 

Please join us at our open (hour-long) World University and School monthly business meeting this Saturday, November 12, at 9am Pacific Time (1700 UTC), in a conference call. 


News and Agenda

World University and School is proceeding to file For-Profit legal papers with the state of California and the US government, FORKING in the process to complement our current 501 c 3 Non-Profit status - in WUaS's second semester in a row in the UC Berkeley Law "New Business Practicum" course. WUaS's forking will take shape around these 14 Planned Revenue Streams - http://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2016/01/14-planned-wuas-revenue-streams.html. WUaS is planning to become CC Universities on its non-profit wing in all ~200 countries' main and official languages - the "Harvards of the Web."

WUaS has recently inquired with a number of people about them joining the WUaS For-Profit Board, and 4 people have expressed interest. If you would like to talk further about joining the WUaS For-Profit Board of Directors, please reply to this email.   


WUaS will speak with Harvard Medical School's Dr. Katz (at Brigham and Women's Hospital) later this month about possible collaborations re CC World University and School's planned online medical schools, and online teaching hospitals (http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Hospital), in all ~200 countries' main and official languages. WUaS would be very interested in having the Harvard Medical School inform all WUaS's online Med Schools in all ~206 (per the recent Olympics) countries' official + languages.

Scott helped to host the Wikidata 4th birthday party in San Francisco on Wednesday October 26th, with a photo here - https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Fourth_Birthday. WUaS, having donated CC WUaS to CC Wikidata last October 2015 around this time, also celebrated its own birthday in Wikidata. WUaS also hopes to begin building out of Wikidata (which is developing for CC Wikipedia's 358 languages) into a new wiki in the next few months, first by adding CC MIT OCW in 7 languages (and CC Yale OYC) to CC Wikidata, first for a course catalog and student application/registration process ("You at WUaS").

I've attached WUaS's financial report for October 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.

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

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.
