The WUaS Corporation received a letter on paper from the CA state representative of District 7 in Contra Costa county confirming the help his office shared regarding receiving and paying the first tax bill from the CA FTB (re the 3 duplicate bills in one way or another). Thanks to this state senator and his office for bringing the state of California further into communication with ocw.mit.edu wiki World Univ & Sch. (See this letter from the state representative of district 7 at the 4 minute mark here -

1
Mwende Evande from Cameroon, Africa, has sent in the courses from OCW.MIT.EDU he'd like to take, and will begin to study, in registering for a free-to-students' Bachelor's degree at World Univ & Sch, and he will proceed with a free 'CS First' with Google course - soon https://csfirst.withgoogle.com/s/en/home .

If you are interested in matriculating at World Univ & Sch, and would like to begin with this CS First with Google course, for example, please email WUaS at Meeting@WorldUniversityAndSchool.org.


2
World Univ & Sch seeks to develop further in WUaS Google Workspace for Education, and potentially add CC-4 ocw.mit.edu courses (in its 4 languages) to the templates (if possible) and with this free "Computer Science CS First with Google" course, which is also CC-4 - https://csfirst.withgoogle.com/s/en/home - even as a model . But WUaS News and Q&A on Mondays will end soon since Google Meet video conferencing is returning to a premium model, and WUaS is in the free WUaS Google Workspace for Education space.



3
World Univ & Sch seeks to facilitate, in multiple ways, and focus the development of - 
7.9 billion personal Avatar Bots as teachers and learners for each of us (e.g. a Stanford Professor Richard Rorty interactively and conversationally, for example)
&
7.9 billion personal robots - as WUaS personal tutors too -  for socratic dialogue, and conference method - and other teaching and learning purposes.



4
World Univ & Sch seeks to facilitate, in multiple ways, and focus the development of 
Machine Learning project managers - e.g. brainstorming-wise, to hire 10 million people at WUaS, about 4 times as many as W-m, mostly interns in 7,139 known living languages, but probably more likely that WUaS aims to hire as many as 2.3 million people (about the size of Walmart), achieving this over a number of decades. 



5
WUaS is seeking a new Chairperson of the Board of Directors
Please let meeting@worlduniversityandschool.org know if you have suggestions for, or thoughts about, this. With time, WUaS, and with more Universitians, will develop a more effective process for such WUaS developments -

Larry Viehland, who has been in this role on both WUaS wings has recently become acting Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Thank you, Larry, for serving in the role of Chairman of the Board in recent years!



6
WUaS is seeking also a (new) management team
A Chief Operating Officer
A Chief Technology Officer
A Chief Marketing Officer
(Currently, Larry Viehland is Chief Financial Officer, and Scott MacLeod is Chief Executive Officer)


6i
... as well as a new Chief Academic Officer (and Larry Viehland, who has been in this role too  has recently become acting Chief Financial Officer (CFO) for both wings. Thank you, Larry, for serving in the role of Chief Academic Officer  in recent years!)


6ii
WUaS Monthly Business Meeting is calling for abolition (see, for example - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/12/euphorbia-heterophylla-wild-poinsetta.html) in these regards as well.

WUaS is exploring the potential for possible NSF-WUaS developments ?

In the process WUaS is seeking a new Chief Operating Officer and has inquired if Yassi Moghaddam, executive director of ISSIP, might fill this role, and possibly if Jim Spohrer, might fill the role of Chief Information Technology Officer

Please stay tuned.
