Hi Carl T, and Friends,

Besides WUaS having been a member of Friends Association for Higher Education (FAHE) for a few years, World University and School continues to hold monthly business meeting in the manner of Friends. And WUaS has minuted numerous times in our WUaS MBM minutes our Quaker-informedness (see, too, for ex. - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/search/label/Quaker and a few Quaker & related 'labels' here + - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Business%20Meeting). I also received some financial aid from SF Friends' Meeting (Quaker Meeting) in 2012 (or 2013), I think, to head to Friends' General Conference in Rhode Island, and do outreach in seeking students. Here's the video -

https://youtu.be/TTzo7MFhJqk - Sherri Maurin of SFFM and I made for this (which is still posted here - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/), and I can share with you the flyers from this probably if you'd like as well. And although I became a member of the RSOF (Religious Society of Friends / unprogrammed Quakers) in around 2004 in Edinburgh, Scotland (while studying at the University of Edinburgh there for a year), I've been active in 10-12 unprogrammed Quaker Meetings since around 1975 or 1976, first attending the Pittsburgh Friends' Meeting in my teens - http://www.quakerquaker.org/profile/ScottMacLeod - and then in Multnomah Monthly Meeting when I went to Reed College in 1979 (and in the little Quaker Meeting in Munich Germany in 1981-82 while studying there through a Reed program, living with a Quaker family in their apartment in Garching, the Kruegers, at the end of my time here for 2.5 months). And besides doing Friendly-informed outreach for students at FGC and in a number of other Friends' Meetings informally, WUaS is a Friendly leading in many many ways, about which I've shared, too, a couple of times in Silent Meeting. (And I just sought to join FriendsCouncil.Net today as well). One of the reasons for not continuing WUaS Friendly engagement with FAHE or FGC (although some of these Friends are still on the WUaS monthly business meeting email list), has been that WUaS hasn't been able to begin the licensing (BPPE) and accreditation (WASC) processes due to lack of funding, and having begun this process in around 2007, with sharing about WUaS too in the Pittsburgh Friends Meeting, and holding the first public outreach for it in the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh main branch then!

As an World University and School Board Member Emeritus, Carl T, I'm surprised you haven't seen this page before - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Foundation - which continues to have your name on it as an emeritus, as well as our WUaS Mission Statement. And it also has long had:

"Quaker-informed World University and School engages Friendly, monthly, business meeting process in which you are welcome to participate. Here's how: "ACCESS to Business Meeting Online Monthly at WUaS" - http://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2012/12/wuas-business-meeting-online-access.html ...."
(... as has the previous WUaS Wiki - https://worlduniversity.fandom.com/wiki/World_University_Foundation - had this statement).

In fact, here's the World University and School minute welcoming you (Carl Thatcher) to the WUaS Board - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2015/07/wild-columbine-july-11-2015-minutes-and.html - where your presence on the Board in 2015 (as noted in these Minutes too) was a further expression of WUaS Quaker orientation re your email today. (Did you not read the WUaS Minutes when you were Board member, Carl T? And do you not remember that we've talked a number of times about the above?)

Seeking in an ongoing way for World University and School to benefit the RSOF - with free-to-students' CC-4 MIT OCW-centric degrees, with planned online Ph.D., Law, and M.D. degrees (and in multiple languages), as well as wiki schools in all 7,111 known living languages.

Here are 3 Friendly-informed pages as well:

- https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Quakers_-_Religious_Society_of_Friends
- https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nontheist_Friends_(atheist_Quakers%3F)
- https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Peace_and_Social_Justice_Studies
(not yet in other languages as wiki-schools, but planned for this).

And since they are wiki and editable - and therefore teachable to or learnable from - I'd like to ask you, Carl T - and to paraphrase George Fox - "What wouldst thou wiki-teach?" (re Fox's " but Art thou a child of Light and hast thou walked in the Light, and what thou speakest, is it inwardly ..." ?) and invite you to teach this to your Youtube or Vimeo channel, and wiki add this to a WUaS page of your choosing - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects - here at wiki MIT OpenCourseWare-centric World University and School, Friendly-informed.

Good to see you, Trudy and Jerry in Portland over this past weekend, and looking forward to exploring Friendly-informed World Univ & Sch further together in a friendly way with time.

Friendly greetings, Scott
