My Center is partners with a Swedish team working on a project with the Dalai Lama in Dharmsala called "Timeless Knowledge."  I'm interested in appropriate technologies in addition to systems science  that I can bring to this project before I go to India.  At the very least--what a great metaphor!!

It includes a stunning, state-of-the-art, theatre.  There is a process in progress, running over the next few months, to engage the public in development planning.

It has great coffee shops, zillions of retired professors, art galleries and performance spaces galore, and a plethora of Institutes and other intellectual organizations which are post graduate institutes in all but name.  The last time this happened, I was young and idealistic (only 70) and I set about chartering an institution I called the City University of Santa Fe, a membership organization whose job it would be to support the transition of the old  College of Santa Fe to a full-fledged University and to use the retired faculty in Santa Fe as a bridging faculty.  We had a web page, we ran some seminars, it was fun.  In the end, Laureate Industries took over the campus, and it looked like CUSF was unnecessary.  But here we are again, and I would like to be able to pass on the charter and the concept to the people who are thinking about the future of the SFUAD campus.

I tried to work with it and I have some evidence that the materials do exist, there, but I could not bring them up.  I believe (but am not sure) that it was hosted by GoDaddy or BraveNet and that the site address was cusf.org <http://cusf.org/>.  Unfortunately, that address has been scooped up twice since by others.
