Commments: (Brett): I think once we have the demo/pilot, we could certainly make a case with them. Probably long lead, though, and best that we go in with slick materials, background of Mozilla, and background of Rip as a high level package. No wikis or blogs for these guys! (Mark): No, Changemakers is Ashoka (which we should still apply to). Skoll funds Social Edge. I met a Social Edge woman at Joi's SXSW party. May follow up w/ her. But I want to see if we can get in at a higher level. Mitchell met the president at some point, but it's a pretty loose tie. I am shaking the trees to see if I can get a better intro.

I think something positive re: what people *are* doing that's cool in the middle east would be pretty interesting. Probably a good partnership w/ the CC Middle East people like Donnatella."

Not the right contact for this as she just does intellectual property stuff, and more policy oriented.

Notes on additional grants relating to the Internet/Technology (Later stage grant application for WMM): Brett suggested we look into this opportunity. We should discuss this and who to pitch to. (Mark): "I know the Internet program people very well. They would most likely be second phase, and will only be interested in the 'darker side of the internet' angle. That's their focus right now. Well we can go in with that angle - after we shoot stuff with Jonathan we could even cut something together specific for them if you could get a meeting.

Notes to Follow Up On/Emails Notes Between Mark, Brett and Sara

  • Go through the concept and the pitch.
  • Sara will think of the gaps in the information. Then I will compile all the stuff that we need.
  • Also wondering if you have a contact for woman from Corporation for Public Broadcasting we should follow up with. Turns out a met someone from PBS who is an old videoblogger friend and now runs their video portal...
  • Her name is Kathryn Washington, Project Manager, Digital Media Strategies. kwashington@cpb.org.
  • Ben is also talking to her about OVA membership, meeting them in DC soon. May try to get in on that, or start a separate thread.

In either case: What's out pitch to CPB? As funder only? PBS as delivery channel? Good to work on that.

  • Look at their creative media initiatives and themes, like creative media strategies, what do they fund, how much do they fund and come back with recommendations.
  • Look at when they give the grant
