Meeting Notes
Mei Lin is in Atlanta and not available for call today.
Brian: I think that the CA Health MRC meeting on Saturday was "HISTORIC."
Approximately 15 people there. Those from F4H included: Mei Lin, Brennan, Jacquelin and Tammy Chan, Jack Park, Robert Stevenson, Bill Daul, Tim Berlyn, Stan Desmond, Betsy Bouroughs, Valerie Landau, Besty from Berkeley, Mr. Dan Esbensen
From my point of view, the legal committee, we voted to file the articles of incorportation.
A report given by Laleh Shahedi,
I gave a historical report on the legal committtee.
Laleh represnting LRC committee.
Very animated meetings, and Laleh did a slide show that was really superb in terms of what CHMRC is doing
Taking the baby out of the delivery room so to speak. Very exciting.
Brian also wanted to ask Kennan how to come to a Ted Talk:
Kennan:
Kennan shared you can go online in the future for a Ted Talk and TedX Livermore.com. Right now the current event for Saturday can be experienced live at Foothill High School in Pleasanton, Livermore High School in Livermore, Valley Montessori in Livermore to particpate for the whole day for free.
Video down the road: three month lag for the editing but it will eventually be on YouTube
All roads leading to ROME, co creating now with groups that are all doing something with participatory democracy. Collaboratory and a new name for each of the projects.
Reimagine science. Reimagine Health. New name and loved it. Documents are being prepared with co emergence.
Want to trademark the imagining science brand. Forward facing name and the brand underneath the Yamana brand "Highest form of living."
NIH had found a french company, defining Yamana: "when the current is unsustainable, Yamana is open handed transparency and working together. We will keep it as part of our fabric!"
having cake and eating it too
Brian:
Corporate name will be Yamana. Reimagining can be a service mark. Can come up with a logo to come up with the phrase.
Just as protectable and serviceable.
Branch will be a collaboratory, an incubator.
Kennan:
TedX. Can go to the school sites to participate
Todd Johnson, will do a design lab for the TedX. Bringing in a new element. Town leaders, politicians and city planners from the area and other TexErs to work together to awaken common vision and action for the community and going forward. Kennan will write up the phamplet for the event. Nervous about it but excited.
Event is on Saturday September 20th at Las Positas College in Livermore.
Tammy Chan:
This week is a blur. Working on projects.
Has received the official 501c3 STATUS for her nonprofit
(YAYYY!!), Henry Oh, Co-Founder, started, called "Conversations for Good" or
for short: "Convo for good" is the brand
Denise: A lot of colleges have 'convo this' 'convo that' on their campuses. Love that idea.
Brian: Can be differentiated when they coach and mentor, can use a different brand.
If someone has already taken the name in the federal govt, it is no longer available.
Tammy checked with the Secretary of State.
Brian suggested could be service of coaching for mentoring, etc
Tammy checked with Delaware, California;
Check with US Patent and Trade office is where it should be checked too
Working with Henry Oh, Co-Founder
Found a back-end developer to develop for FREE. He is a great developer and got into Amazon as an internship, a student at NorthEastern University.
What does he get out of it?
Tammy Looking for volunteers to write the front end of the website.
Denise: Advice on volunteering ~ took an intern under her wing, trained and groomed him. Branded him, introduced him to every client while he was taking photos. Never got anything in writing. He is now with-holding all the photos, using all the contacts, and asking for money for the photos he took.
Brian: offered to consult with Denise on this IP issue. Please send me info about the situation with JL and we can take off line.
Tammy will follow up with Brian on research to make sure her documents are legal and correct.
Denise:
Cleantech Open is now an official client of DOME Entertainment and Consulting, LLC.
Took over three months of negotiating - a company that has created over $1billion in investments for cleantech startups. Just spreading into nine new countries. On Thursday Nov 13th DOME is producing their black-tie gala. Negotiation took over 3 months with CEOs and legal counsel all over the world.
DOME will be taking in volunteers for the global forum itself (Nov 12th and 13th) final competition for people from all over the world in competition to promote their start-ups. Cleantech provides an entire mentoring series. Denise will be coming up to bay area a lot to work with Laura Drexler, VP of Cleantech who is in charge of the project. If any of us know anyone who can be at the event itself, she is looking for people to work as volunteers. Great opportunity to be introduced to all the heads of the tech companies up here - Google, etc etc to be pitched to for attendance. At the black tie Gala, we will recognize with great fanfare the winners at the event. Took on the 'by next week promise' and got on the phone and followed up with all three companies on MOUs to be formalized with our attorney.
Denise has started local Southern CA committee for upcoming 1 yr anniversary celebration of Franchise 4 Humanity. Talking with others that this is their chance to be in this community. Denis is pitching it as, "It's a closed group of people who attended last year, but we are opening up for people who want to be on planning committee to become part of F4H.
Went to the big event in Beverly Hills with Dr. Zhi Gang Sha last week. https://www.drsha.com/
His focus is artwork that combines healing and spirituality. Beautiful calligraphy, also with spirituality and intention inside of each one to heal others. Talked with him about his PR. He has a book 'Soul Healing Miracles'
He is working with people like Michael Beckwith
Saturday, Dec 13th big event at Agape Church in Culver City, CA. All are invited. Michael Beckwith - One of the spiritual healers featured in 'The Secret' book, author.

Jim Caldwell: Gave presentation Sept 9th to Chinese Institute of Engineers on
"The Art, Science and Politics of Building green and Resilient Communities."
In Beijing (Nov 19-20) and Tianjin China-Singapore Joint venture eco development project) (Nov. 11-12). Jim will be presenting at two conferences and building collaborative relationships between Chinese and International organizations to collaborate on Eco-city Development in China: Building model cities to serve as examples for all to learn from.
Tianjin is a China SIngapore ecocity joint venture project on East Coast, north side of Shandong peninsula. Not far from where Jonathan is talking with people about an OMEGA project.
Children's Art and Environment Project is separate art project developed by the 1990 Institute in 2001-2002. Now an annual mural painting project with international children at the China National Children's Center in Beijing.
Jim is also working with an architect, Morton Frank in the SF Bay Area to develop Efficient, Green and community-centered affordable housing communities with job training for the residents, helping to build the buildings for the residents. One block each in bay area right now as models. Very exciting. Hard to create balance with all of this.
Residents in Afforadble Housing Communities will get hands on experience to build Green buildings.
1 block each as models in the Bay Area. Pitching Green Community Centers at the Cleantech Open this Thursday afternoon.
Kennan: Suggest that we move into creating for next week.

Project Updates:
AAAF, advancement of sciences has just gone through 2 yr review
director being replaced
in the space of humanity and change we are involved in.
Linda Staheli suggested to Victor Hwang (creator of the Global Innovation Summit) to create a proposal with Linda and Kennan, gaining traction for Feb 25th VIP Launch program to connect science and the innovation sector.
http://meetings.aaas.org/ Feb 12-16th
http://www.innosummit.com/#global-innovation Feb 16th-20th
Both in San Jose.
Linda is talking in Washington DC in the policitcs and science realm. this is a worthy cause and changes.
on board with Cleantech...tapping into the grassroots...getting the volunteers involved.
Juli Staiano, head of program development, AAAF, agreee that there are millions of dollars for STEM. Scientists are not invovled.
Scientists are not sure if they want to be involved with the AAAF
Create cross-fertilization for this.
Think about cod, the ocean, what is happening in the planet. That is our energy. Creating something new...high end
Maybe with Illumina, China Mobil, Huawei, some of Denises connecctions.
Very exciting way to look at how we can create between the top-down big money initiatives and companies and the grass-roots but also the core of science.
Denise: Met with an elite group last week- making amazing connections through someone who knows 'everybody' - wants to bring him into Franchise for Humanity. He is into sustainability and the future of the world.
Kennan: Victor Hwang of T2Venture Capitol; Steve Blank there is doing lean startup bootcamps with the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health.
