anticipate dynamic debates. If you cannot come, we provide live streaming

10-18, in Hong Kong. Proposals for holding SSFS in other sites are welcome.

You may also wish to send articles or comments for internal circulation on
the “Community” section of the Global U website. How? When you visit the
Global U website, on the home (global) page, please go to “Members
Community”. Log in with the password “oguoguogu”. You will be asked again
to log in. Enter username: “member”, and password: “oguoguogu”. Click

There are two sections. One is archive of all Founding Members Communiques.
The other is “Internal Documents for Members Community” (including books
