Dear Universitians,

Thank you for joining the World University and School team.

I'm glad to report that MIT-centric World University and School is beginning the accreditation process, having communicated with three, accrediting agencies in the past few weeks, and is beginning to seek prospective, undergraduate applicants for free-to-students, online, MIT OCW-centric, Creative Commons' licensed, WUaS bachelors degrees this autumn (application deadline is 1/1/2014), to matriculate at WUaS in the autumn of 2014. Accreditation costs for WUaS, due soon or now, are around $18,000, and WUaS will begin to do outreach, share press releases, seek student applicants, etc., having begun the accreditation process.

WUaS would like to invite you to participate in our hour-long, monthly, business meeting this Saturday, March 9th, beginning at 9 a.m., Pacific Coast Time / 12 noon East Coast Time.
This month we'll meet online in a Google + video hangout, (with its 2 channels for communication, via group video and group text chat, opening opportunities for communication).  And this month, I'll send out again a second email a few minutes prior to 9am, to our entire WUaS email list with the actual web address / URL of the Google + group video Hangout.

You'll also find the Hangout posted here - https://plus.google.com/u/0/115890623333932577910/posts - at WUaS's G+ profile page findable by searching in Google + on worlduniversityandschool@gmail.com. Here's an example of a WUaS Google + video hangout meeting, - "World University and School, Student, Board / Team's 1st meeting 3 Nov 2012" ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FR0y7Z4saHI - and a good overview of WUaS, from a Stanford Coursera course I took in last autumn called "Startup Boards: Advanced Entrepreneurship" on World University and School's YouTube video channel https://www.youtube.com/WorldUnivandSch.

The agenda for the upcoming business meeting is at: http://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2013/03/march-9-open-monthly-business-meeting.html.

The Treasurer's report for February 2013 is attached.

The next, hour-long, WUaS, monthly business meeting is on Saturday, April 13, 2013 in a Google + Hangout.

World University and School is looking for a new, Board member to focus on fundraising, and to actually bring in significant monies for WUaS, which you'll see on the above agenda.
Concerning this WUaS team email list, we'll generally send out an email once a month. If you'd like to receive more frequent, sporadic, WUaS emails, please reply to this email telling me so. If you could, please REPLY with UNSUBSCRIBE, or an alternative email address, if you wish NOT to receive WUaS's emails, or receive them in a different email account, - and WUaS would be very grateful.

Free, online, wiki WUaS, like Wikipedia with MIT OCW, is planned for all 3,000-8,000 languages and for around 200 countries, with free, C.C., university degrees - bachelors, Ph.D., law and M.D. - accrediting on MIT OpenCourseWare+, and will help many, many people.

Thank you again for your interest in helping grow World University and School.

All the best,
Scott
