Dear John:
==========
(1) Many thanks for your msg (ATTACHMENT I).
(2) Very glad to hear that you had a very
fruitful trip to the Global
Knowledge Forum in Kuala
Lumpur, Malaysia.
(3) Yes, Peter Knight kindly requested the
conference organizers to list our
Global Service Trust
Fund (GSTF) project among the activities and
programs under consideration.
Unfortunately, he could not obtain his
travel grant from the
InfoDev so that it did not produce any results
from the conference
attendees.
(4) I am very sorry you could not talk with
Shahab during the conference --
well, next time somewhere.
Dear Dr. Lowe:
==============
(5) I am very happy to receive your msg
(ATTACHMENT II) by the kind
introduction of John.
(6) Congratulations on your excellent web site!!
I took the liberty of
admitting you in our listserve so that you will be
kept updated with our
daily progress.
(7) Yes, we are planning to have a mini-workshop
at the University of
Philippines/Open University
(UPOU) in Manila. If you can attend it, we
can discuss further
how we can collaborate.
Pls visit "Draft of Travel
Grant Application to the National Science
Foundation for the Manila
Mini-Workshop -- 1 of 5: Travel Grant
Application / 2 of 5:
Workshop Schedule / 3 of 5: Grant Nominees / 4 of
5: Philippine Counterparts
/ 5 of 5: GUS in the Philippines Pilot
Project Proposal - February
16-17, 2000" at <http://www.kagawa-jc.ac.jp/~steve/global-univ-2000.html>.
Although Teresita of
UPOU wishes to have this workshop in June, it will
conflict with our mini-workshop
at the Open University in U.K. -- see
"Grant application to
IREX for mini-workshop at UK Open University -
February 23, 2000" at
the above web
site -- though not definite yet, it
has been planned to
have it in June.
I am now waiting Ms.
Leggitt's reply to our request of Agilent
Technologies' help --
see "Respectfully requesting Agilent Technologies'
help - March 16, 2000"
at the above web site.
Once we confirmed the
possibility of our demonstrations in Manila, we
will fix the date of
our workshop there.
(8) The second opportunity of our mtg could
be at the workshop of the United
Nations Industrial Development
Organization (UNIDO) in Kuala Lumpur,
Malaysia in September
(thought not definite yet).
Pls visit "UNIDO conference
in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - January 21,
2000" at the above web
site.
I do not know how far your town is from Kuala Lumpur.
(9) The third opportunity of our mtg could
happen when David Johnson
materializes his plan
for us (he and me) to make a exploratory tour of
preliminary talks with
universities in South Asian countries (e.g,
Thailand, Cambodia,
Vietnam, etc.) for collaboration.
Dear Gayle:
===========
(10) Many thanks for your msg (ATTACHMENT III).
This is very encouraging,
and we would be very happy if we can be of any
help for disseminating
your excellent courses not only to Amazon area of
South America, but also
to many South Asian countries.
Best, Tak

Subject: Introducing Dr. Vincent Lowe
Dear Prof. Utsumi-san:
The Global Knowledge Forum in Kuala Lumpur was
a worthwhile trip. I
recognized the Global Service Trust Fund among
the list of activities
and programs under consideration. I was a facilitator
at the Governance
Tract during the session: Sovereignty in the
Information Age. For this
role, I had purchased Richard Rosecrance's book
"The Rise of The Virtual
State: Wealth and Power in The Coming Century,
the review by Robert
Reich, which you had sent to your list as "Greetings
of the Season." I
was not able to meet Shahab Khan; I had sent
him an email while in Kuala
Lumpur but he apparently did not access the message
until his return.
But we have been communicating regarding Planwel
University.
I would like to introduce to you someone whose
accomplishments in
"lifelong learning, anytime, anyplace" might
be relevant to the efforts
of the Global University System, especially the
Asia-Pacific Region
activities. Dr. Vincent Lowe is with the Mahirnet
Group of Malaysia and
I mentioned GUS to him. He is very much interested
in participating in
GUS activities, and seeing where Malaysia has
reached in its economic,
social, and technological advances, I am of the
view that their
experiences and visions might be of help to countries
in the South.
His email:
vincentlowe@hotmail.com
vincentlowe@mahirnet.com
Thanking you,
John Afele

Dear Prof Utsumi,
After John Akele introduced us, I hope you will
not mind my contacting you.
Mahirnet is our virtual learning company, and
you can get info on us by
visiting our website at www.mahirnet.com.
Please do visit and if there is
anyway we can team up, I would love to. John
says you are organising
something in Manila mid year. Keep me informed,
I look forward to hearing from you,
Vincent Lowe

We will be happy to sponsor the NSF proposal,
and we will have UT
representation. I suggested to David that
we have Fadia represent TVU and
UT New College, since she works for me and is
a UT employee. As I
mentioned to David, I think we will have the
opportunity to demonstrate a
model Global University partnership, once we
launch "New College." We
anticipate that to happen some time in 2001.
