Agenda & News for OPEN WUaS Monthly Business Meeting
World University and School
1 
A draft of the state of California's Bureau of Private Postsecondary BPPE licensing application is done. Now World University and School, needs the $5000 fee, which WUaS doesn't have, so the state of California can process this. 

2
501 c 3 World University and School welcomes your tax deductible donations for this.

3 
World University and School's Library Resources - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Library_Resources -  presentation in the Wikidata Affinity Group chaired by Stanford librarian Hilary Thorsen will not occur tomorrow June 18th, and may be rescheduled for July 2nd (https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1zUtIX_G47fI3jH9FCIF3ScLzANX81qjeeUP9QnS59cI/edit?usp=sharing).
World University and School is seeking online university libraries for online matriculating students for Bachelor, Ph.D. Medical, Law, and I.B. high school degrees in each of all ~200 nation states’ official / main languages. 

Would collaborating with Harvard libraries be a possibility? And re: 
'Collaborating with other universities and sharing collections will make 90 million books available to @HarvardLibrary users'

Unfortunately, the $250,000 National Science Foundation award that WUaS thought World University and School was granted - since WUaS heard about this in January, and with this information went ahead and successfully procured a DUNS number from D&B (in NYC) as a next step in the funding process - has not come through, per a communication on April 30, 2019 from our Program Administrator at the NSF - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/05/rhododendron-arboreum-flower-of-nepal.html.
WUaS had budgeted part of these monies for the initial BPPE fee, and part of these monies for accreditation potentially with WASC senior, and some of these monies to hire graduate student instructors to teach 'sections' online in group video conferencing to the best STEM CC-4 OpenCourseWare (OCW) faculty in video.  

This has been a major setback in a number of ways, but especially with regards to initial BPPE licensing.

5
World University and School is seeking further collaboration with Stanford Law and Stanford Medicine in all 200 countries' official / main languages for something like best STEM OpenCourseWare - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/05/common-blackbird-eggs-to-stanfords-john.html - and in particular is in communication about this with Stanford Chair and Professor of Medicine Robert Harrington MD, and Stanford Law Lecturer Roland Vogl. 

6
Live interactive participatory Hangouts on Air for World University and School continue to meet on Mondays at 10 am Pacific Time in Google group video Hangouts for your idea, your questions, and what you'd like to share - https://www.youtube.com/user/WorldUnivandSch - with announcements here, for example - https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1140721890358484994 - and directly to your inbox if you'd like.

WUaS Press / Corporation
A
Academic Press at World University and School (planned with machine translation in all ~200 countries and 7,111 known living languages) was at Reed College for the 3rd year in a row, participating in Reed Reunions' Marketplace (which is also 3 years old). See: https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/06/borage-glad-to-bring-academic-press.html.

C 
Re the planned Bookstore at World Univ & Sch (also planned in ~200 countries and 7,111 living languages), Larry Viehland reports that his new STEM book "Gaseous Ion Mobility, Diffusion, and Reaction" (2018) - https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783030044930 - has sold about 1200 copies digitally, and about 3 copies on paper. This is a remarkable new opportunity for the WUaS beginning bookstore - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Bookstore_/_Computer_Store_(New_%26_Used)_at_WUaS - which also seeks to explore how best to carry Larry's "Gaseous Ion Mobility, Diffusion, and Reaction" book.
