Retweeting -

It was a pleasure to host Angela Merkel this morning at the @AtlanticPARTN.

As one of the most influential European political leaders of the past two decades, she has helped shape many of the debates that continue to define Europe today.

Are there any organizations in the US or companies that are both a 501C3 tax exempt legal entity like @WorldUnivAndSch & concurrently a for-profit general stock company legal entity in the #StateOfCA like the #WUSCorporation @WUaSPress,

There are INCREDIBLE potential synergies between these 2 WUaS wings planned in all ~200 countries and for speakers of all 7159 living languages +

And see Agenda item 2 from last Monday's 6/22/26 Weekly Business Meeting for how these two wings might interoperate financially and regarding IP law further ...

https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2026/06/phawngpui-blue-mountain-national-park.html

And again

Regarding the WUaS Corporation for profit wing in the state of California, our second wing - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html -

how will WUaS be able to develop with Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency - https://minepi.com/sgkmac - initially, and as a for-profit general stock company in the state of California, and even possibly with time list the WUaS Corporation on a stock exchange, such as the NASDAQ or the Silicon Valley Long Term stock exchange, or even multi-list the WUaS Corp (and regarding the Academic Press at WUaS in 7159 living languages with machine and human translation, and the WUaS Educational Services' Stores both in all 200 countries)?

B 1

... and interoperate effectively with our 1st World University and School wing with its US federal and state of CA TAX EXEMPT World Univ & Sch LEGAL entities - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/ - and see too - https://app.candid.org/profile/9121509/world-university-and-school-27-3105368?

B 2

And how might the #GrowWithGoogleWUaS program for World Univ & Sch WUaS potentially help with coding these 2 WUaS wings especially initially?

And see: "How to view Google Street View in a smart meeting room". - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9FBhEAXRY4?

Gemini (constellation): What is artificial intelligence? What is artificial intelligence in comparison to information technology? How will artificial intelligence affect the network society and in particular 'the university,' and the global university, building on mit ocw in 7 languages, in each of all 200 countries ? * The fusion of AI with open educational resources means the global university no longer has to choose between elite quality and mass scale. By utilizing IT as the underlying network infrastructure, MIT OCW as the verified knowledge base, and AI as the interactive, multilingual educator, the democratization of higher education across every continent becomes an operational reality

Hi Pin/Sid, All,

Just received and registered for this HHS Grants.gov meeting on Tu June 30th, after getting an invitation from Anna Lee to make some free web pages for both wings of WUaS searchable & findable in ChatGPT or Gemini - a breakthrough for WUaS ... which I've blogged about here on Tu 6/16/26 -
https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2026/06/wetlands.html?m=0

Will see the web pages in a video call on F 6/22 at 9am ... It's possible Anna Lee re Gushwork.ai will offer to build WUaS web pages further and re an 800 or 900 / month subscription which I read about here - https://techcrunch.com/2026/02/25/gushwork-bets-on-ai-search-for-customer-leads-and-early-results-are-emerging/ - where WUaS would somehow apply to Grants.gov for this if possible.

Thoughts?
