I'm not sure I will be able to make it to China either... jem bendell James R. But — an interesting idea has come up. The "future of money" is something that many are thinking about, and a philanthropist that I know (from NYC) has offered to host a small weekend gathering at one of his residences and cover expenses for participants. If everyone thinks this would be useful/interesting I can pursue further. Not sure exactly how to do something like this? Eric —would he make a grant to the WEF and have the WEF administer or is this something that should be done through an external party (through his own charitable organization)?

Lee; ULLIER Olivier; Saleem H Ali; Lucas Simons; Niko Canner Subject: YGLs, Future of Money & Alternative Currencies - greetings & update Hello all, EFTA_R1_00520369 EFTA02016948 I hope this finds you well and it's been great to see several of you over the course of the past year — most recently at the YGL Silicon Valley summit here in the Bay Area. I've had the pleasure of connecting with a new YGL Jem Bendel! who is deeply involved in several topics of common interest, including alternative currencies and the future of finance. In my conversations with Jem, I've been reminded of our collective efforts last year to launch a YGL working group and possibly pilot an alternative currency within the YGL community. So, now seemed like an opportune time to introduce Jem to all of you. Jem recently did a piece for Al Jazeera titled "Money for Nothing" which you may be interested in reviewing; many more presentations, writings, etc. are available online. He will also be in Tianjin and would be keen to connect with any of you who will be there as well. (Unfortunately I won't make it to China this year.) If there are other YGLs whom you think would like to be part of this conversation, please feel free to forward this note. Jem, if anything else to add, please feel free to do so. Wishing everyone all the best wherever you are, and hope our paths cross again soon! April EFTA_R1_00520370 EFTA02016949
