Dear Tunji:
===========
(1) Many thanks for your msg (ATTACHMENT I). Yes, it was
my great pleasure
to have met with you at the Columbia seminar, too.
(2) I am also very happy to know of your willingness to initiate
the
connection with Nigeria for our Global University System
project.
For this, I would suggest that you follow the suit of
our Filipino
counterparts as indicated in my previous list distribution;
"GUS/Philippines coalition formed in Manila, 10/25-31/00
- November 15,
2000" which can be retrieved at
http://www.friends-partners.org/~utsumi/gu-l/mid-2000/11-15-a.html
(3) As the first step, pls explore followings;
(a) Locate interest groups in Nigeria -- preferably higher
education
institutions which have Leland connections at 128 Kbps,
(b) Some institutions who can invite me for an initial
face-to-face
mtg for planning a workshop/demonstrations.
(c) Locate their preferred counterpart educational institutions
in
North America, since we prefer to have a pair of institutions
in
both side, i.e., one in North America (or Europe) and
the other in Nigeria.
(4) As mentioned during our mtg, you can find materials of
our Global
University System (GUS), Global Broadband Internet (GBI)
and Global
Service Trust Fund (GSTF) projects at Reference web sites:"
at
Pls retrieve my full paper on GUS there -- which
hard copy I
showed to you at the Columbia seminar.
Pls have a very fruitful trip to Nigeria and I look forward
to hearing the
result of your trip.
Best, Tak
P.S.:
(a) I received another scam email msg from Nigeria last night.

Dear Dr.Takeshi Utsumi:
It was great meeting you yesterday at the Columbia seminar.
This is short note to stay connect with you via e-mail. I am thrilled
by the
prospects of working with you on the Global University and other
IT related
projects for Nigeria and by extension, West Africa. I am especially
interested in the first step of a feasibility study based on a
grant from
INFODEV. As you intimated yesterday, if you are looking for a
partnering
Africa, please consider WANGONeT and Agenda Consulting as credible
and
reliable partners. I leave for Nigeria on Saturday, if there is
anything I
can do, please let me know. Please stay in touch. Sincerely, Tunji
Lardner
