Dear E-Colleagues:

(1) Pls retrieve my following previous list distribution;

(09/21/06) (1) Fact-finding and assessment trip to create GUS/Altai Mir in Siberia and (2) Proposed direction for the Working Group on Infrastructure
http://tinyurl.com/pedfk


This distribution is about the working group on ÒGlobal Collaborative Research and DevelopmentÓ out of 5 working groups mentioned in it.

Dear Tatiana:

(2) Many thanks for your msg (ATTACHMENT I).

It was certainly my great pleasure to have met with you in Novosibirsk.

It is our great honor and privilege to receive a support letter from Prof. N. V. Pustovoj, the Rector of your Novosibirsk State Technical University <http://tinyurl.com/mf2fy>.  Pls convey him our sincere thanks.

I also greatly appreciated to receive your excellent suggestions on activity of the working group ÇGlobal Collaborative Research and DevelopmentÈ within the frames of the project ÇGlobal University System / Altay MirÈ <http://tinyurl.com/rm5v2>.

(3) As stated in your proposal, I am sure that this project would certainly contribute to the policy analysis on the social and economic development of Siberia, and particularly on the Gorno-Altaisk regional community development with the use of mathematical modeling method, i.e., simulation.  For example, they are on the issues of installing gas-pipe line from Tomsk to Gorno-Altaisk to China; of constructing hydroelectric dam in the Gorno-Altaisk (where there are 5 UNESCO heritage sites), and of increasing tourists of 400,000 in summer time in the Gorno-Altaisk where there are only 9,000 residents.  These are certainly not only inter-regional issues, but also international, thereby it is vital necessity to analyze them as interfacing dispersed simulation models in Siberia, Moscow, China, the U.S., and many other countries.

BTW, a Japanese newspaper reported yesterday that the Russian government halted the gas pipe line project (dubbed as INK-BP) which the British Petroleum (BP) is involved, because of environmental issues.  Is this the one which goes through the Gorno-Altaisk to China?


This project will then demonstrate integrated and synergistic approach among grassroots, government, university, stakeholder, etc.  Use of graphic info modeling/mapping and potentially "gaming" on key issues and potential solutions, even at high school levels, will assist each group's ability for standardized data gathering and situational analyses, projecting out potential outcomes for more informed decision making and activities. The beauty of this project is that it brings together most sophisticated university-based mathematical modeling techniques and experts and regular people who can then more easily see-at a glance--how issues and outcomes can impact and interact each other.

This project will then be "growing up" of local experts in use of all these tools for leadership development, in relation to strategic use of technologies themselves and cooperation among stakeholders for more effective advocacy, informed policy, public understanding and participation and concrete community development.

Dear Hans:

(4) Many thanks for your msg (ATTACHMENT II).

Our concept paper submitted to the IDRC did not go through, as I informed to you before (ATTACHMENT III).

Dear Tatiana and Hans:

(5) The following is my proposed direction on this project.

(6) Pls retrieve the following previous materials;

(a) (03/27/06) Current status of our GCEPG Project and a workshop in Manassas, VA in June 2-3, 2006
http://tinyurl.com/pw6qu

(b) T. Utsumi
Creation of Globally Collaborative Innovation Network (GCIN) in Ghana, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Egypt, and later entire African region
Excerpted from Concept Paper Submitted to the Research on Knowledge Systems (RoKS) of the IDRC of Canada, June 15, 2006
http://tinyurl.com/pfq6f

(c) Millennium Institute's comments to the GCIN project
http://tinyurl.com/km89s


(7) The above materials will be consolidated with TatianaÕs proposal into a concept paper (4 to 5 pages).

This will be distributed to various funding sources (e.g., US National Science Foundation in Washington DC, New Eurasia Foundation and the UNDP in Moscow, etc.) for organizing a planning workshop either in Washington DC or at TatianaÕs Novosibirsk State Technical University as soon as the fund availability.

(8) A major subject to be discussed at this workshop would be how to organize a database through which various dispersed, dissimilar socio-economic-environmental simulation models around the world would exchange pertinent data.

Main simulation methodologies are;

(a) System Dynamics — originated by Prof. Jay W. Forrester at MIT,
(b) Econometrics — originated by Prof. Lawrence Klein, an economic Nobel Laureate, at the University of Pennsylvania, and
(c) Input-Output — originated by Prof. Wassily Leontief, an economic Nobel Laureate, at New York University.


The final is to have two tier system;

(a) One for training young would-be decision makers in crisis management, conflict resolution, and negotiation techniques basing on Òfacts and figures,Ó
(b) The other for helping decision makers construct a globally distributed decision-support system for positive sum/win-win alternatives to conflict and war.  


Dear Profs. Silva and Saritas and Mr. Cakir:

(9) I would be very delighted if I could meet someone who may be interested in joining in this project from Turkey during my trip next month.

(10) I hope that this direction will firstly contribute to the analysis of social and economic development of the Republic of Altay with global relations and interdependencies.

Dear Carol:

(11) Albeit very brief, pls revise your draft final report to the Eurasia Foundation to include the above.

Thanks in advance.

Best, Tak
