</span></div><br><div style="word-wrap: break-word;"><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><b><font size="4"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Dear subscribers,�</span></font></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal">
<font face="Verdana"><font size="4"><span style="font-size: 14px;">I am two weeks late �with the promised February 2011 issue and I've decided it's time to give a progress report. Probably most of you know by now writing a book. It �will be published first in the Cook Report and hopefully other places in modified form. I enclose the current abstract below as well as the current chapter outline and table of contents by chapter. � �it is evolving as I continue my work and the last week has witnessed an especially good turn as I have become much more familiar with Internet 2's very fortunate twist of fate. As I get to know more and more about the United States Unified Community Anchor Network I have real �hope for the transition of my country through these difficult times.</span></font></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Verdana"><font size="4"><span style="font-size: 14px;">�I am doing a lot of reading in an effort to unify the meaning of the public Internet to research and education network world in the context of the collapse of the 20th century corporate state and the rise of more viable local economies described by the many people participating in the work of the open peer-to-peer foundation. the two principal readings at the moment include Michael Brown, </span><i>Civilizing the Economy, a New Economics of Provision, </i><span style="font-size: 14px;">Cambridge University Press and Kevin Carson's</span><i> the Home Brew Industrial Revolution a Low Overhead Manifesto</i><span style="font-size: 14px;">. I knew intuitively a year ago that what Surfnet was and continues to be has huge relevance for the United States. � I am now very happy that, especially with the emergence of USUCAN, I now have a very clear picture. And thanks to the Surf Foundation's making it possible for me to do almost 3 weeks of research in Europe in October I have the material in the interviews�</span></font></font><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14px;">as well as contacts </span><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14px;">to explain this all in detail.</span></p>
<div><font face="Verdana"><font size="4"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></font></font></div><div><font face="Verdana"><font size="4"><span style="font-size: 14px;">The book will likely not be anything more than 10 chapters. � I have the first five chapters completed in draft form. I am hopeful that I can publish the first five chapters as the February March and maybe April COOK Report between about February 10 and 20th. This material will be at least 100 pages and probably more like 150 pages in normal COOK Report format and style and the remaining half will be of similar length. I ought to be able to have the remainder done by May. One thing that I am thinking about is how what I am writing might be repackaged and presented in the United States as an introduction to USUCAN in the US. �I would like to be able to help people here understand the breadth and depth of this immense opportunity that is being laid before them at this time.</span></font></font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana"><font size="4"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></font></font></div><div><font face="Verdana"><font size="4"><span style="font-size: 14px;">I am �open to any and all suggestions and certainly would appreciate feedback. �Please either write to me privately <a href="mailto:cook@Cookreport.com" target="_blank">cook@Cookreport.com</a> or on the Arch-econ list if you think it's appropriate. I think this material is world changing and that it's coming to fruition is absolutely critical time. I hope I'm right and I hope that we can all push it along to broader understanding and fulfillment.</span></font></font></div>

book will offer an introduction to an emerging technology of communication,
collaboration, and scientific research that is almost unknown outside a narrow
circle � SURFNet and the thye several dozen members of �Global Lambda� Integrated Facility (GLIF) where
it originated and has grown. It is the authors� contention that it must become far
more widely known and used. �It�s
most advanced form (part of which was chronicled here a year ago in a separate
book) was developed in the Netherlands.� However it has grown into a world-wide
movement that flying�far below the general visibility of the public as a
whole and is waiting to be more broadly discovered. The time for the discovery
is at hand �because with the Obama Administration�s award of a 62.5
million dollar stimulus grant to build a United States Unified Community Anchor
Network. <a href="http://www.usucan.org/" target="_blank">http://www.usucan.org/</a> its importance has just been magnified.
�For the first time the United States has the opportunity to do for itself
what the Netherlands and many other optical research and education networks
have been doing.� The opportunity is immense and I will demonstrate in the
text that follows why.</span></font></p><div><font face="Verdana" size="4"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></font></div><div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><font face="Verdana" size="4"><span style="font-size: 14px;">We shall
argue in these reports that the university based global research and education
network community is not merely building a new infrastructure to support
collaboratively based global science but is building the tools and techniques
needed to replace the broken proprietary silo based capitalism of the last
century.� Each side must become aware of
and support the other�s progress as rapidly as possible.</span></font></div>

<div class="MsoNormal"><font face="Verdana" size="4"><span style="font-size: 14px;">We also
point out that the full explanation of capabilities to be described here in is largely
