Dear Amit:
(1) Many thanks for your msg (ATTACHMENT I).
I will let you know as soon as I hear from Josie (ATTACHMENT II) — she must be very busy for the preparation
of her trip to the Middle East this week.
(2) How was your talk with Hans at Millennium Institute?
Referring to the Item (6) of my last list distribution (Reference (a) above), I
am thinking how to get the Japanese ODA fund to the ECOWAS to assist AndreaÕs
project with them.
(3) Many thanks again for your following excellent write-up;
Columbia University
CICR Organized Fall Õ09 Conference, Global University System (GUS) proposal for
collaboration, Prepared by Dr.
Amit K. Maitra

BTW, can you kindly work on the two page summary write-up of our GUS/GCEPG
projects? -- the one you did was for Josie, which I sent her as proposing our
joint conference/workshop.
Two page summary would be necessary anyway for our fund raising for our
workshop through Polytechnic.
(4) I am now reading Al GoreÕs early book ÒEarth in Balance,Ó and found his
project direction is very much similar to our GUS/GCEPG.
Excerpt from; Al Gore,
ÒEarth in the Balance: Forging a New Common PurposeÓ ISBN 978-1-84407-484-6, pp. 354-360, 1992

He might have gotten the idea of Òmassively parallel processingÓ computer network architecture (*) from his staff
who was one of our list members when I did it through the Electronic
Information Exchange System (EIES) of New Jersey Institute of Technology since
early 1980s — a World Bank officer once said that our list is the world
longest running list. Although Al Gore kindly mentioned that Japan was
constructing such a network, I knew that there were none doing such, except my
papers about GCEPG.
(*) See Figures 6 to 8
of the Reference (c) above — Figures 6 and 7 were presented at the First
International Conference on Computer Communication held at the Hilton Hotel in
Washington, DC in October 1972.

Dear Tak
Many thanks for your email. The Director of the Center and myself will be
spending the next days to make a primary selection. The proposals will then be
sent to the Board of the Fund for Global environment and conflict resolution.
Unfortunately, I can be no way guarantee that this process will be completed
before July 14th.
We will do our best to make the process as fair and efficient as
possible.
I will write to shortly regarding your previous email.
Warm wishes,
Josie
