Dear Ed:

(1) Many thanks for your msg (ATTACHMENT I below).

Dear Ben:

(2) Upon EdÕs suggestion, I admitted you into our list so that you will be kept updated with the daily progress of our GEWS/GUS projects (see Reference (b) above).

Pls visit the Reference (a) above for our so-called ÒGlobal Lecture Hall (GLH)ÓTM multipoint-to-multipoint, multimedia, interactive videoconference in the morning of April 18th, which will be centered at the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, NJ.

This event will have participants from ECOWAS countries (*) in the west coast of African continent with the use of webinar via broadband Internet of GLORIAD through ÒAfrica Coast to Europe (ACE)Ó ultra high speed (5 tera) optical submarine cable of Baharicom development Company (**) at the Stevens Institute of Technology, which is a member of your Internet2.

(*) See their list in the last page of the Reference (b) above.
(**) We succeeded the matchmaking between GLORIAD and ACE of Baharicom last summer (see Reference (e) above).


(3) This GLH is a continuation of a series of our GLHs, which I conducted once or twice every year in the 1990s, spanning the globe — sometimes, with the use of 11 channels on 9 satellite transponders, connecting many universities from Moscow to New Zealand and between them.  Greg Cole of GLORIAD kindly said the 1994 GLH (Reference (d) above) initiate his GLORIAD.

(4) Our GEWS project is to have colleagues in those ECOWAS countries collaboratively construct their socio-economy-energy-environmental simulation models which will then be interlinked each other for the study of their co-prosperity.

Our GLH is to provide them an environment where they can do system analysis (see a diagram in the last page of the Reference (f) above) and modeling together to come up eventually a global model on a global scale virtual supercomputer as depicted in the same page.

Since we will then have many occasions of such a hands-on learning, we would be greatly privileged if we could have your help.

Pls feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.

Keep in touch.

Best, Tak

Ben:

Given your pivotal role with #Megaconference, I thought you might find the DRAFT PRESS RELEASE (below) of the Global Lecture Hall with West Africa of interest.
