Prof. Jose Brenes Andre <jbrenes@cariari.ucr.ac.cr>
(1) Dear Jose:
==========
Many thanks for your msg (ATTACHMENT I).
Congratulations for your getting the help from Intel Corporation
for
your IV Iberoamerican Physics Olimpics.
Yes, I would like to have the draft of your pilot project
proposal in
the format of the InfoDev.
Your 8 page proposal is fine, but it is your format.
I plan to
include it in the Part III of our handout which hard
copy will be
attached with our report to the InfoDev. However, the
InfoDev
people would be easier to read with their format.
(2) Dear Chief of Each Regional Operation listed in ATTACHMENT
II:
==============================================================
I sent to you my distribution msg with the title Summaries
of pilot
projects identified at our Tampere event" on 9/5th,
asking you to send
me the draft of your pilot project proposal. ATTACHMENT
III is the
excerpt from the msg -- sorry for this duplicate.
The 9/5th msg included additional suggestions of
mine. Should you
wish to have it, I can re-send it to you again.
Looking forward to receiving your proposal soon, -- since,
as I said at
the closing remark of our Tampere event, we need to submit
our report to
the InfoDev by the end of October.
I would like to submit a very comprehensive report
so that
subsequent grant applications from each of your region
to the
InfoDev would have a good chance to succeed.
Best, Tak

Subject: INFODEV report
Dear Tak
Have read your September 14 message, stating I have to write
a report
for INFODEV. I will do so but need to know:
1) What is the format I have to used. I have looked into several
of your
messages but can NOT find the one that refers to that matter
2) Please advice as to what changes I have to make to the 8 page
report
I sent you before
3) You may like to know that I have contacted INTEL Corporation,
and
they are willing to know about what I am doing. They already help
me
defrost the cost of the IV Iberoamerican Physics Olimpics, and
would
like to do what I am doing in distance education.
I will strat working on the Infodev report as soon as I receive
the URL
of where I can find the template for such a report.
Best
Jose
PS. If you dont hear from me all next week is because I wll
be
coordinating a 16 countries, 70 representative event that is eating
up
my nerves.

Excerpt
from
My distribution on 9/14/99
(2) Chief of Each Regional Operation:
=================================
During the past two weeks, I sent you my listserve distribution
msgs
which were my reports of our Tampere event and my summary
of activities
of each regional groups.

8/28 Subject: Telemedicine demo at our Tampere event
8/29 Subject: Activities of European Group
8/30 Subject: Activities of Latin American Group
8/31 Subject: Activities of African Group
9/1 Subject: High-tech (?!) society of Japan
9/1 Subject: Requesting succinct review comment
of Tampere

9/2 Subject: Interest of Asia Development Bank
in
Asia/Pacific operation
9/2 Subject: Pakistan in the group of the Asia/Pacific
operation
9/3 Subject: Preparations of Tokyo and Manila conferences
During my closing remarks at the end of the event, I urged
the chief of
each of regional groups to come up a draft of their pilot
project
proposals, since we are mandated by the InfoDev of the World
Bank (which
financed our event) to submit the proposals as part of our
report to
them.
(3) Chief of Each Regional Operation:
=================================
Pls visit <http://www.worldbank.org/infodev/projects/form_tex.htm>
for
the proposal form of the InfoDev.
Pls fill out following items in the form and send to me;
1. 4,
2. 5a-1 to 3,
3. 6,
4. 7,
5. 8,
6. 10,
7. 11,
8. 12,
9. 13,
10. 14,
11. 15,
12. 16,
13. 17,
14. 18,
15. 19,
16. 20,
17. 21,
18. 26.
As you see, the above does not include budgets, since
these information
from each of your regions are only for our report to the
InfoDev at this
stage.
As I suggested or as some of you have already gotten
the idea of
holding follow-up workshop/conferences in each region
to make more
detailed feasibility study (e.g., our Tokyo conference
next April
or May), such feasibility study will definitely need
to construct
the budgets at those follow-up mtgs for the deployment
of our
project in each region.
Your information of the above items will also be
used for our
inquiring funds from other sources than the InfoDev.
If
affirmative, we will contact you for the budgets.
