1416 - 1521 called Elisabeth
1417 -
141701 - She is very busy today, just starting a new school year.
141702 -
141703 - Elisabeth asked me to review the record of our prior discusisons.
141704 -
141705 - I explained our call on 000202, and again on 000901 concerning
141706 - creating a course in KM.
141707 -
141708 - Advised that I have submitted a letter to her today, per her request
141709 - on 000901.
141710 -
141711 - Elisabeth said she has been authorized to create several new courses,
141712 - but she has not set KM at a high priority.  She said the letter to her
141713 - today will not go into a black hole, will be stored for review when
141714 - she next considers adding a new course.
141715 -
141716 - I explained that my letter explains a course that augments
141717 - intelligence by advancing alphabet technology.  Nobody at Stanford,
141718 - not the president, the dean of studies, students or anybody else will
141719 - ever ask Elisabeth to develop a course to advance alphabet technology,
141720 - because none of them knows the alphabet can be enhanced.
141721 -
141722 - Reminded Elisabeth that she can only discover this opportunity by
141723 - reading the letter and reading POIMS.
141724 -
141725 - Elisabeth said she will try to do this.
