Hi Rohit, (and Larry),

Thanks for your mail. I'll seek to send you a Google Meet video conference invitation tomorrow to your gmail address at 9am Pacific Time (is this 9:30 pm in India where you are?) and Larry Viehland will likely be on the telephone with me. We'll see who else joins WUaS Monthly Business Meeting; you'll get further information too about World Univ & Sch's process (which is conducted loosely in the manner of Friends / Quakers' Monthly Business Meetings). Perhaps we could explore further developing India World Univ & Sch in Hindi, as well as the India Law School at World University and School (first in English and in Hindi).

India World University & School beginnings (as wiki too) - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/India - and check out the MIT OpenCourseWare eventually for credit potentially on the Open edX platform in particular. (https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States) 

Hindi language WUaS - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Hindi_language (planned in Hindi)


Am hoping the information technologies work out well tomorrow.

With best regards, 
Scott

HI Rohit and Larry, 

WUaS Monthly Business Meeting begins in about 30 minutes (and on 3rd Saturdays at 9am Pacific Time, for one hour). What time will it be in India for you, Rohit? (Time Zone navigation https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html - can be initially challenging!). See you soon in Google Meet, Rohit - and I'll send you the link in a half hour! Thank you!


Sincerely, Scott

Hi Rohit, 

I'm sorry you weren't able to join WUaS's Monthly Business Meeting. What happened from your end? Let's test this before another meeting. What is the time difference? (Meeting in Mondays' WUaS LiveStreams News Q & A  at 10 am Pacific Time could work if you'd like to talk; these meet every week too - https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html ). And what questions do you have? 

Or your joining next month's WUaS Monthly Business Meeting could work as well - on Saturday, August 15, 2020 at 9 am Pacific Time. 

Meeting this Monday, July 20 at 10 am Pacific Time could work for me. Or another time and day! Please let me know. Let's talk soon.

Sincerely, Scott

Dear Scott,
First of all I apologise for not able to join the meeting. It is because of the time confusion. I will definitely join it the next time. Meeting on 20th July also works for me and it will be a great help if the googlemeet link is provided beforehand.
 Primarily I have following questions:

A. If we can create something in India, what kind of assistance and role shall be taken over by WUaS?

B. What is going to be my role in it? Especially when I have great networking in universities around the corners of the country, do you think a position or leadership role can be performed by me, before I join my law firm?

C. If yes, is this not for profit organization? Even if it is, I am glad to help because even I want to learn edupreneurship from a reputed person like yourself?

Looking forward to hearing from you

Thanks in anticipation

Dear Rohit, 

Thank you for your response. 

1
Could we try meeting on M 20th July at 9:30 am Pacific Time in Google Meet - what time is this in India where you are - https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html - and what's the time difference; is it a 12 1/2 hours or 13 /12 hours or an other time difference?) ... I'll seek to provide the googlemeet link about 5 minutes' beforehand.

2
I would then, 30 minutes later at 10am Pacific Time, proceed to hold the WUaS Livestream News (via a different platform called LightStream which records to Youtube) and you could join this as well, if interested.

A 
This is the beginning of India WUaS - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/India (which will grow to 1000s of wiki pages) - and hopefully WUaS will be able to offer https://ocw.mit.edu/ on the Open edX platform for free to students' degrees in India. After English, courses in Hindi would follow and then in all 22 official languages in India. 

B
Let's talk about this, and email about this in conversation. It would be interesting to develop India World Univ & Sch on the Google Sites' platform in the Hindi language, for example, like Sri Lanka WUaS here - https://sites.google.com/view/worlduniversityandschool/srilanka -  thanks to Rifai in Sri Lanka. And let's see what leadership role for you emerges out of this conversation, and related set of developments. Let's talk about this soon further. It's the Open edX courses from MIT OCW that will make WUaS different from great Indian universities, but you also have much knowledge about how INdian students could best benefit from the best STEM CC-4 OpenCourseWare Open edX courses. (This blog post too might give you further insight into a recent parallel Sri Lanka World Univ & Sch - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/07/sri-lankan-elephant-mooc-it-france-edx.html).


C
In the USA, and in California, WUaS is a 501 c 3 tax exempt non-profit, on the World Univ & Sch side, and as a legal entity. It's also a second legal entity in California, the WUaS Corporation. Both are planned as services in all ~200 countries and in all 7117 known living languages. How these play out in India are questions you would have much knowledge about as a law student as well. More to talk about here.  

See you this Monday, July 20, at 9:30 am Pacific Time in Google Meet, and where I'll send the Google Meet link around 9:25 am Pacific Time - to your Gmail (because I think Google Meet works better with a Gmail address)? 

Thank you for your interest in World University and School (which is like the best STEM CC-4 OpenCourseWare - - in 4 languages , and Wikipedia in 300 languages), Rohit. 

Best regards, 
Scott

Rohit, 

WUaS is developing with aspects of the MIT Media Lab's creativity, and is also seeking high achieving Indian students for free-to-students' online degrees (in English, then Hindi, then in the other official languages in India). 

This is in Japanese, from a MIT Media Lab professor, and might be translatable better from Japanese into Hindi - 
than this translation - 

"MIT Media Lab is fully paid for tuition and salary. What you need is originality, co-creation, competitiveness ▶http://bit.ly/zilg2x RT mobius1_F22A: ishii_mit I would like to hit it out if I have money and ability. But the most important thing is enthusiasm and belief..." (which is a so, so translation into English).

Best Regards, 
Scott
