Attached you will find a provisional budget to run the programming. As we discussed, it will take time to coordinate the first of the new workshops (we are already holding 4 events in the winter and spring of 2015), so we expect the first of the new programs will begin sometime in the fall of 2015, with potentially 3 workshops in the fall, to be followed by up to 7 workshops in 2016, and then, if things are running successfully, up to 10 workshops in 2017. The budget shown, for $1.6 M/yr is based on a 10 workshop model, with full staffing. Staff will need to be hired in advance of course, and this will be carried out during 2015 with a number of staff hired in advance of the fall programming. We will supplement the $1M funding from Jeffrey with $300K in support from ASU, and the remainder in funds to be raised from other sources. As far as the content of the workshops is concerned, we have already been meeting to discuss details. I will also be discussing this with Jeffrey, who has already proposed a number of topics. Provisionally we plan workshops and events over the coming 2-3 years, in addition to our planned workshop in winter and spring of 2015 on Extinctions and Water, on the topics that including: EFTA01003314 The future of Artificial Intelligence and Cognition Complexity and Societal Scaling Pattern Recognition Origin of Life Origin of Disease Population economics Music and the Brain Origins of Capitalism Origins of Sex Mathematical Biology Origins of Cooperation Information and Signaling Human co-evolution with other species Limits to knowledge? Please let me know if you need anything else from me. I have already sent you the appropriate ASU forms for donation, including Pledge form and Wiring Instructions. Thank you, and Jeffrey for this remarkable support of our programming, which will bring Origins to a whole new level of impact.
