Dear World Universitians, and friends, 

Here are the 4/17/21 WUaS open Monthly Business Meeting Minutes for 1) World Univ & Sch's Monthly Business Meeting, & 2) the WUaS Corp. WUaS continues to plan for free-to-students' CC-4 OpenCourseWare-centric online PhDs and Bachelor degrees for 9/1/21, in English, and then in all ~200 countries and in their major languages, as well as for wiki schools for open teaching and learning in all 7,139 living languages. 

Thank you too for your generous contributions to World Univ & Sch. World Univ & Sch would be very grateful if you could contribute please to tax-exempt World University and School if you can here - worlduniversityandschool.org - for example, or send tax exempt contributions to World University and School, PO Box 442, Canyon, CA 94516. Thank you!



I'm also posting these MBM Minutes in the body of this email for the vision impaired. And newly here is the Google Meet video conference recording link - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tX_i8kYifNXcigF3ep1ggU1inbNOuHPg/view - for the open 4/17/21 WUaS Monthly Business Meeting. 

The next OPEN WUaS Monthly Business Meeting is on Saturday, May 15, 2021, at 9 am PT, and is hour-long. Please email info@worlduniversityandschool.org if you'd like to join and participate with your ideas, questions, suggestions or thoughts).

Minutes for Monthly Business Meeting at World University and School
... planned in ~200 countries for free-to-students' best STEAM CC-4 OpenCourseWare-centric degrees - Bachelor, PhD, Law, and MD, and IB - and in 7,139 known living languages as wiki schools for open teaching and learning ... http://www.guidestar.org/organizations/27-3105368/world-university-school.aspx -

WUaS has reached out with some WUaS email inquiries to Anant Agarwal, as edX CEO, founder and MIT Professor of EECS, and Sanjay Sarma, as VP of MIT Open Learning (with whom I've met videoconferencing for ~30 minutes), and President Reif, as president of MIT, and Google Chairman Hennessey as Anant's Stanford PhD professor, and President of Stanford for 16 years, and Chairman of Alphabet too, and Larry Viehland, as Chairman of the Board of CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School (& WUaS), and CFO and acting CFO of both wings, and as 3 legal entities, of WUaS, here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/04/forester-pass-edx-wuas-impasse.html (which contains our WUaS edX representative, Matthew's email of April 6, 2021 to WUaS), where he writes that edX is 'standing by' regarding WUaS legal partnering and subsequent WUaS matriculating PhD and 4-year Bachelor degree students on 9/1/21 developments, for free-to-students' best STEAM CC-4 OpenCourseWare-centric online degrees, first in English. 

I haven't heard back directly from edX CEO Anant Agarwal (or any of these other leaders so far) yet, but am wondering if Matthew and Anant might have communicated about these "edX-WUaS Impasse?" questions.

Please see my email below to Universitians from Monday, 4/26/21, in the '4/26/21 WUaS News and Q&A video recording as well - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/04/bursera-simaruba-commonly-known-as.html - and - https://drive.google.com/file/d/13ZP6JW_r_HMVzidxom7bOTkGb9bJQLLW/view.

WUaS is now waiting to hear back from edX"s Matthew, and think something positive may develop for WUaS regarding his 4/6/21 email that they're 'standing by' at edX.



1
WUaS, in partnering with edX, will explore further how edX will address questions of WUaS Licensing and becoming Accredited first in the state of California, for free-to-students' online best STEAM OCW-centric Bachelor and PhD degrees. 

WUaS has registered for a Stanford EPIC conference in mid-May - Stanford Virtual EPIC Symposium: Integrating Global Topics into Community College Curricula 2021 https://sgs.stanford.edu/events/2021-epic-symposium-integrating-global-topics-community-college-curricula - and will explore how California Community Colleges have developed online with accreditation and licensing with regards to their existing accreditation in California over the past March 2020-2021 year, during the coronavirus pandemic. 

In addition to WUaS's best STEAM CC-4 OpenCourseWare-centricity - eg - https://ocw.mit.edu/ - where WUaS will hire graduate students to teach to this OCW, it seems that California Community Colleges' online resources from over the past year could be a further remarkable resource with which to develop for online accreditation and licensing, and in partnering with edX, especially.



2
WUaS G-Suite for Education

In the developing edX-WUaS partnering documents, WUaS continues to plan to code for matriculating WUaS students from all ~200 countries, and speakers of all 7,139 known living languages.

In the process, WUaS plans to code brainstorming-wise for all 7.8 billion people on the planet as wiki teachers and learners, and for a variety of other reasons - especially these 5: https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/12/wild-pomegranate-burchellia-bubalina.html.

This will develop further as edX integrates its dashboard (for grades, matriculation info, etc.) into WUaS G-Suite for Education.

Again, WUaS G-Suite for Education will also be for reimbursement to World Univ & Sch from all 200 countries' departments of education for free to students' CC-4 OCW-centric best STEAM PhD, Bachelor, Law, MD and IB degrees, first in English, from which WUaS will 'pass through' what WUaS will pay to edX for courses per student per year. 



3
Regarding edX-WUaS partnering, WUaS is seeking on our initial edX-WUaS registration page for free-to-students' PhD or Bachelor degrees - something like - https://authn.edx.org/register - and also to post legal notices (in addition to an honor code which WUaS students would assent to - paralleling edX's or Reed College's Honor Codes ... and eventually with licensing and accreditation planning too) - in order to protect WUaS students for example, as well as to protect WUaS from student's illegal activity for example, too and in other ways too. Please see the WUaS 4/17/21 Agenda and News for an unrelated, but good, example from Vanguard Mutual Funds - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/04/proxima-centauri.html - and WUaS is seeking potentially for Google to help author such legal notices too in WUaS G-Suite for Education.


Per Larry Viehland's suggestion, I found the free open Libre Office 2, and explored making forms regarding our initial edX-WUaS registration page for free-to-students' PhD or Bachelor degrees. WUaS is also exploring related possibilities regarding Stanford EPIC (above) and similar coding in the state of California. 

As I wrote to Larry: 

I downloaded and installed Libre Office 2 for the Mac, which you suggested in WUaS Monthly Business Meeting, as an alternative for forms compared with G Suite for Education - but in which I think it makes much sense to explore Google Translate in multiple languages.

In wiki WUaS planning for coding for all 7.8 billion people on the planet, and for avatar bot electronic medical records too, WUaS is seeking to develop a single

#Realistic Virtual Earth for Genetics
 
for #WUaS Aging Reversal too
https://twitter.com/hashtag/WUaSagingReversal?src=hashtag_click


and potentially in collaboration with WikiTree, which is planning a single family tree (presumably for all 7.8 billion people and their ancestors) -ie SEE: https://www.wikitree.com - (eg https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/MacLeod-2524)

Drosophila fruit fly lifespan: "A typical, healthy & well-maintained outbred #Drosophila pop. will have . lifespan of . max. of approx. 90 days" https://sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0925443917303319#:~:text=A%20typical%2C%20healthy%20and%20well,11%5D%2C%20%5B12%5D.X2 with https://youtu.be/bnCEIPQFNnk What Genes? #ActualVirtual #RealisticVirtualEarthForGenetics #WUaSLongevity?

https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1376645462556438529?s=20

  

WUaS seeks, for example, to focus on lifespan #Longevity with #AgingReversal ~ #Drosophila ~ https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/03/wild-drosophila-melanogaster-fruit-fly.html #WUaSLongevity #WUaSagingReversal in a #RealisticVirtualEarthForCRISPR in a related vein (think #GoogleStreetView with #TimeSlider with #AI at cell & molecular levels with #DigitalSpecies @WorldUnivAndSch)

https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1377070127976312838?s=20


And WUaS would iterate out to a single #RealisticVirtualEarthforGenetics, #CRISPR too #RealisticVirtualEarthforCRISPR in 1 #RealisticVirtualEarth (think #GoogleStreetView w #TimeSlider Maps + #TensorFlowAI All with WIKI #RealisticVirtualHarbin @HarbinBook as source for #WUaSBrainScience too

Brainwave headsets - which are Harbin & realistic virtual earth-oriented -  for Actual-Virtual comparative STEM research, as well as STEAM social science field work, and at cell and atomic levels too -

https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/04/vernal-pool-lake-county-email-george.html


So, in what ways might it be possible to explore too the breakthrough innovations in getting to Alpha Centauri star system quickly (and even regarding REAL REAL TIME MUSIC-MAKING via the web) to creating a realistic virtual Harbin Hot Springs for comparative  Actual-Virtual ethnographic field work, and STEM research, including brain science (with people wearing headband brainwave headsets in the Harbin warm pool or from their home bathtubs for meditation as the relaxation response visiting Harbin in digital masks, both, iteratively, 

1) getting neural data from individuals' brains - for example about meditation and enjoyment neurally - and also
2) transmitting this data via fast wireless into avatar bots of you and me in a single realistic virtual earth / Harbin? :)

Breakthroughs and innovations - and potentially regarding aging reversal genetic drug therapies too? 
See:
'Breakthrough Discuss 2021: Alpha Centauri System: A Beckoning Neighbor' 
https://youtu.be/mTFx5-AMmTk ... (Day 2, April 13, 2021)

Geneticist Harvard & MIT Professor George Church (with a focus on aging reversal) gave the keynote to this, which is also in video recording here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/04/alpha-centauri.html

 (See, too. https://twitter.com/geochurch/status/1380540280781348865?s=19 - and -  www.youtube.com/breakthroughprize ).

After WUaS partnering with edX, there are SO many aspects of WUaS to develop :


a
Seeking, after edX-WUaS partnering to offer free-to-students' PhD and Bachelor degrees in English, to offer these best STEAM CC-4 OpenCourseWare-centric free-to-students' degrees in all 200 countries (per Olympics) in their official and main languages. 

WUaS with edX potentially seeks first to matriculate WUaS PhD and 4-year Bachelor degree students 9/1/21 in English,
 

b
Then WUaS seeks to develop online MD and Law (as well as IB high school) degrees similarly - as free-to-students' CC-4 OCW-centric degrees online in all ~200 countries in their official and main languages, but first in English.

WUaS Law degree first class in English to matriculate online in autumn 2022?
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Law_School 

WUaS Medical Degree first class in English to matriculate online in autumn 2023?
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Medical_School 

WUaS IB high school first class in English to matriculate online in autumn 2024?
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/WUaS_International_Baccalaureate_Diploma_and_Programme (or similar)

Other WUaS countries' universities, and in their official languages, follow these.
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages 


c
WUaS Wiki schools for open teaching and learning in all 7,139 long languages - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages - will be part of this initial build out - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects - and there is SO much potential for WIKI free universal people-to-people education - about subjects people love to teach about - in these.


d
Then WUaS is seeking to develop online major university libraries in all 7,139 long languages:

https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Library_Resources

https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForLibraries?src=hashtag_click


e
And then WUaS is seeking to develop online museums from ALL TIME in all 7139 languages in a single realistic virtual earth for museums - think Google Street View with time slider:

https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Museums

https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForMuseums?src=hashtag_click
https://twitter.com/scottmacleod/status/1250166323486666752?s=20



f
Then a music school in all 7139 known living languages with ALL musical instruments, each a wiki subject page for open teaching and learning

https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Music_School


g
And much more ... and see these 12 main WUaS areas .... all planned in 200 countries and 7139 living languages:
worlduniversityandschool.org


(In the process, World University and School seeks to develop 2.2 million jobs on both wings of WUaS, in all 200 countries, and in their official and main languages).



9
WUaS programming and artificial intelligence, and, for example, for
#AvatarBotElectronicMedicalRecords even:

Besides Google's approaches, including for WUaS students to learn Google TensorFlowAI building out a realistic virtual earth, for example, WUaS also seeks to build OCW's Computer Science courses - on https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/

See, too:

In what ways could individuals develop, in conjunction with their health systems' electronic medical record, their own
#AvatarBotElectronicMedicalRecords -
https://twitter.com/hashtag/AvatarBotElectronicMedicalRecords?src=hashtag_click - and newly also for visualizing predictively weight reduction, for example, wellness-wise, medically, and with artificial intelligence?

... and even with exercise and movement, as well as with predictive machine learning, come to shape a wellness avatar bot electronic medical record, thanks to the knowledge that such a health record would provide - and thanks to their own agency (intentional action) especially?

open 4/17/21 WUaS Monthly Business Meeting 





12
edX-WUaS partnering, and 2 WUaS bank accounts:


WUaS sends out 2 Financial Reports each month, and has 2 related bank accounts.

WUaS is also 3 legal entities (A, B, C): 

1
World University and School, the A) federal 501 c 3 and B) state of California nonprofit legal entity, relating to the x5389 bank account. which WUaS Financial Report file I've named 'World Univ Sch Fin Rep NonProfit 2021 March."

AND
(2

The C)  WUaS Corporation (in Califonnira) for-profit general stock company legal entity, relating to the x9028 bank account, which Financial Report file I've named - "WUaS_Corporation_ForProfit_Financial_Report_2021_March").


The WUaS CFO currently can view online both Wells Fargo WUaS bank statements. Larry Viehland is currently the CFO of World University and School, and acting CFO of the WUaS Corporation.  







Minutes for Monthly Meeting at the WUaS Corporation 


WUaS Corporation / WUaS Press -
Academic Press at WUaS - planned in ~200 countries and in 7,139 known living languages with machine translation, and for Actual-Virtual bookstores/cafes, Computer stores, Robotics' stores, Hospital technologies' distribution centers, and in a realistic virtual earth for actual-virtual robotics, and telerobotic surgery in 200 medical schools, with 200 teaching hospitals
See, too - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2020/04/15-planned-wuas-revenue-streams-both.html



A
The WUaS Corporation has recently added a "Stock Purchases" line in our Financial Report. Please see the "WUaS_Corporation_ForProfit_Financial_Report_2021_March"



B
The emerging long term Silicon Valley stock exchange has recently been cleared by the Security and Exchange to become the 14th US stock exchange - "Silicon Valley-Backed Venture Cleared to Become 14th U.S. Stock Exchange: 
Long-Term Stock Exchange, which could appeal to tech startups, wins SEC approval"
https://www.wsj.com/articles/silicon-valley-backed-venture-cleared-to-become-14th-u-s-stock-exchange-11557511056.

If the WUaS Corporation decides to seek to offer shares on a stock exchange via some kind of IPO - and regarding with, somehow, a single cryptocurrency, such as the mineable "Stanford Mine Pi Coin" - to alleviate poverty via UBI experiments among 7.8 billion people, and lists on the emerging Silicon Valley LONG-TERM stock exchange, the following legal notice may be relevant too.

WUaS Press and open access publishing (possibly on the World Univ & Sch wing too)
Regarding MIT Professor of Anthropology Heather Paxson's focus on open access publishing - https://news.mit.edu/2019/mit-heather-paxson-open-access-model-workshop-0510 - in what ways could we possibly please stay in touch about ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy - https://scott-macleod.blogsot.com/search/label/ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy and https://twitter.com/hashtag/EthnoWikiVirtualWorldGraphy?src=hashtag_click - as a new ethnographic social science theory and methodology I'm developing at WUaS, and indeed in an Actual-Virtual realistic virtual Harbin Hot Springs / Earth (https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualHarbin?src=hashtag_click and https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarth?src=hashtag_click), think Google Street View with time slider, Maps, Earth, TensorFlowAI, Translate, with Text-In-the-Sidebar (of Google Street View), with more here about this - https://twitter.com/hashtag/TextintheSidebar?src=hashtag_click and https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/04/eurasian-oystercatcher-haematopus.html.

Glad too the World Univ & Sch MIT OCW-centric Daily News (am not sure who does these) Tweeted your photo and Open Access Publishing Tweet yesterday -

"The latest The MIT OpenCourseWare Daily! https://paper.li/WorldUnivAndSch/1474335157?pub_id=0ce36101-de75-4921-965d-ed47354d0c44 #ai #deeplearning"
https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1386494350784450563?s=20

So, the WUaS Press continues to seek to build out in GDocs with machine translation / Google Translate (perhaps first focusing on languages in India), for our Academic Press at WUaS, planned in ~200 countries and in 7,139 known living languages with machine translation
http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html.

This will dovetail with Actual-Virtual bookstores/cafes, Computer stores, Robotics' stores, Hospital technologies' distribution centers, and in a realistic virtual earth for actual-virtual robotics, and tele-robotic surgery in 200 medical schools with 200 teaching hospitals +.
