Rough Notes:
1.
How much money for what period of time.
2.
How r we to organize ourselves in terms of corporate structure, going after
accredited investors, small solicitations, etc?
3. Websites a critical tool, empowerment of the grassproots organizations, creating communities of people throughout the world, need to spell out exactly what we bring to the table besides for money, how can we help people that is why the technology officer so important, coming up technology alternatives, “trading center”, the technology officer places the specs out to the internet bid, first to assemble during the development stage an inventory, conduct an assessment of how to organize the technology, the “trading floor” selects the right vendors for each region of the world.
4. Assess the “ability to pay” of each grass roots group, assist in looking at the economic base of each region and its future, the availability of water being the most important constraint?
5. Legal-political risks - will never give money to a politician - not spend money on the political game – set up a pilot-prototype system and “dare” the power structure to “pull the plug”, keep “Washington” fully informed of our private sector solution, being in “compliance with all the stuff they like such as transformation of the rule of law, decentralization, etc having the politicians being continuously pointed in the direction of our websites, “and by the way if the corruption kills this one pilot-prototype we will put it out on the website, blah blah” [sic].
6. Examine the organizations like USAID, the CWF monies “stepping in to close a gap” and why someone like Roger and his wife r so critical even in this initial stage.
7. Overlay the DeBeers-Anglo American investment strategy where they are operating, they have water quality problems, even if they don’t want the publicity, it in their interest to have those areas improving rather than festering, us willing to give them a “treasury return” but there is also the “conscience” benefits such as urban renewal, doubtful they will use their money as productively as us, our transparency both their “death nail” as well as their salvation, our success will in breeding more success give them a “way out” of their abyss.
8. The
reason for doing business with us is our credibility and track record,
“try out an imitator and come back to us when u have got your face
muddied, blah blah”, i.e. it is not possible
that any organization with “blackened hands” can m
Next steps:
1. “Blasting an email” offering to meet collectively or individually with accredited investors such as Jonathan Beare who at one point looked like he had an “exclusive” now we have “complicated matters” our “joint and separately” approach arranging either a meeting or conference call each of them left with the following “slim and none” choice, “What r u going to do? What should we do can since we cannot ignore Gary, Rod et al”.
2. Set up CWF “partners” on a regional basis providing them with a national and international forum, us in the “holding group” helping bring PUBLIC INTERNATIONAL ATTENTION to the most basic and precious human right, the right to clean drinking water.
Rod, be4 broadcasting this to anyone including derrick and Devin, I think u and I should at least speak again perhaps even meet up. I could come up the first part of next week if not sooner if u feel it necessary.
