From: Masha Drokova Sent: Thursday, January 3, 2019 1:36 PM To: [email protected] Jeffrey,= Here's how we can do that. 1. We pick 12 people for the start. Say 6 guys, 6=girls. For example Samantha, Katya, Jay, N=il and I'll show you more candidates. apan>2. Gathering them every 3 months or more often. We can start in the beg=ing of February so people can put it in the schedules. For every new gathering we'd as= first attendees to nominate new people and select 2-3 best. Some people ca= also be excluded. We can grow it up to 15-20 people at he fir=t year. 3. We discuss some global topics s= people fill like they participate in designing the future. We can also inv=te one additional person who's an expert on the topic. =div> Idea #1 We discuss state of science, fundament=l and social, what kind of research they do, what it brings to the world an= how world change under its influence. Invite scientists on topic to speak +=make commentaries on them + follow with discussion Idea #2 United Nations has sustainable development g=als document — https://www.un.org/sustainabled=velopment/sustainable-development-goals/ <https://www.un.org/sustainabl=development/sustainable-development-goals/> . Every participant c=n: - give their idea on how they would enhance this doc=ment; - offer their approach to solve one of the sustainabl= development goals listed in the document. Idea #3 We can discuss the key global pro=lems. Say — would it be crises/not? What's happening with c=imate change? Is AI a threat? Etc Idea #4 TBD At the end of year we can do 2-3 days e=ent/retreat in a beautiful place so everyone get to know each other even be=ter. Between the sessions we can read a few b=oks on particular topic every time and then discuss it all together. <=div> EFTA_R1_01799496 EFTA02607570 In a year we'd have a solid group of 20 y=ung people educated and knowledgeable on the world's global problem=, trends and opportunities. This would look l=ke something between an informal think tank and salon. This group can be us=d to run through it any ideas/policies that can influence society on intern=tional level. Positioning: something like a global young intellectual el ite=group. We don't have to say that, we can give a sen=e of it. Would they really become this elite or not —=depends on them. Global thinking, curiosity, fast c=reer growth would be a criteria for each of them. What do you think? 2 EFTA_R1_01799497 EFTA02607571
