Dear Walter:

(1) It was my great pleasure to have met with you and your wife at Polytechnic Institute of New York University last Thursday (8/21/08).

Albeit a very brief moment, it was a very fruitful mtg.

Dear Harold and Carl:

(2) Pls see the followings at <http://tinyurl.com/yr7qbk>, which you requested;

(a) MOU between Polytechnic University and GLOSAS/USA, May 17. 2007

This is mainly for GCEPG/GSEEED projects, i.e., Research and Development of GUS,

(b) MOU among University of Tampere, Finland, TOBB Economic and Technology University in Ankara, Turkey and Global University System at the University of Tampere, November 9, 2007

This is mainly for GUS project, i.e., Global E-Learning — see below.

Obviously, GCEPG/GSEEED projects and GUS project closely interact each other.

This is the opening chapter of Part II of the above book.

This is the closing chapter of the above book — BTW, read the very last page of this paper which tells real stories how important to have close friendships among people of various countries while they are young, for global peace.

(4) I am very happy to know that you want to make GCEPG/GSEEED projects as your first priority on the creation of the Center for Conflict Prevention, Management and Resolution on Environmental Issues in Niger Delta Region of Nigeria, as mentioned in the Reference (a) above.

I think that this will go along nicely with the Two Tier System of the GCEPG/GSEEED projects;

<http://tinyurl.com/5geokv>

As said to you at our mtg, we need to prepare young people in the age of 10s to 20s for their time when they will encountered with severe, fierce conflicts on various environmental issues in the year of 2050s.

Also, if you construct the socio-economic-energy-environment development (SEEED) models of various states in Niger Delta Region, it would help the policy analysis and recommendation for your local civil servants and politicians. With this regard, you may also take a look on COMPRAM (COMplex PRoblem hAndling Method);

Dear WS:
BTW, Walter is an economist, but quite familiar with Systems Dynamics (SD) modeling. If you have a Nigerian SD energy model, pls let him/me know.

(6) I also greatly appreciated to hear of your strong willingness to conduct the followings;

(a) My fact-finding and assessment trip to Niger Delta region to visit a few higher educational and healthcare institutions in each state of Niger Region,

(b) About six month afterward, to hold a large workshop at which time formal establishments and implementations of GCEPG/GSEEED projects and GUS project in Niger Delta Region will be discussed and made.

This is to be in the second quarter of 2009.

(7) Pls also schedule to have discussions how to implement Peter’s following projects;

(a) Statewide broadband wireless Internet,

(b) Operator/Trainer center for petroleum refinery and petrochemical plants — see;;

(9) As mentioned to you at our mtg, pls send me the first draft of your concept paper of this project at your earliest convenience so that we can work on it together.

Dear Carl:

Pls send me your write-up on how our projects can be incorporated into your newly establishing center for simulation (whatever you would name it) at your earliest convenience.

This is because Walter would include its excerpts into his concept paper for fund raising.

Thanks in advance.

Dear Marc:

(10) I left my msg to your answering phone prior to this mtg, but vain.

Anyway, I hoped you might be interested in working together with Walter’s group, since his Niger Delta Region is very much similar to your previous projects, and very important from the US national interest viewpoint since the region produces considerable amount of oil, 40% of which comes to the US.

Dear Peter and Walter:

(11) I wish you a very good luck to your fund raising, as the first step of this very important and exciting project.

Best, Tak
