Global Vision, Local Impact Global Vision Nonviolent Peace force ANNUAL REPORT 2005 Global Vision, Local Impact May 15, 2006 Dear Friends of Nonviolent Peaceforce We have demonstrated the effectiveness of nonviolent peacekeeping in challenging situations. Now with violence on the upswing in Sri Lanka, the site of our first project, our teams are relying more than ever on their extensive training, experience, and relationships. Our field team members continue to provide accompaniment for at-risk civilians, help return and protect child soldiers, facilitate dialog among opposing groups, assist with the return of refugees, provide rumor control, and connect those in need to resources and aid. We have demonstrated that we can support and maintain peacekeeping teams in the field. With the arrival of the second wave of peacekeepers to Sri Lanka in September, we increased our project staff to 30, opened a new site in Trincomalee, and took a leadership role with partner organization PAFFREL in coordinating international observers for the November elections, which were the most peaceful in recent history. We have demonstrated that we can recruit, assess and train very talented peacekeepers from around the world. In 2005 we received 255 applications from 60 countries, nearly 20 for every available peacekeeping position. We are learning from our work. After an extensive onsite evaluation of our Sri Lanka project in the spring of 2005 we gained a deeper understanding of the many forms of accompaniment and ways to preserve nonpartisanship while maintaining good relationships, and as a result, made adjustments to our program, training, and staffing. We are witnessing a growing international acceptance of the need for nonviolent peacekeeping. In July, the Global Partnership for the Prevention of Armed Conflict (GPPAC) met at the U.N. Civilian unarmed peacekeeping was prominent and the work of NP specifically featured in the global agenda presented to the Secretary General. We are in discussions with several U.N. agencies that have resulted in a joint framework agreement with UN High Commission on Refugees and our first grant from UNICEF in Sri Lanka. We have demonstrated effectiveness. We are continually learning. There is a growing global recognition of the need for and utility of nonviolent peacekeeping and people from around the world want to serve as peacekeepers. Now we must build our capacity to respond to the growing demand. At our International Governing Council meeting last August we approved the initiation of a strategic planning process to become large scale and the creation of a Capacity Building Department to increase the worldwide pool of trained, assessed, and ready-to-deploy civilian peacekeepers. We will need this increased capacity to staff peacekeeping in places like Colombia and Uganda, where projects are currently being proposed. We are deeply grateful to the Member Organizations, foundations, governments, businesses, faith and community groups, and individuals who generously donate their time, expertise, and financial resources to further our vision of building a large-scale international civilian unarmed peacekeeping force and ask for your continued support.

CONTENTS FOREWORD 3 BIBLIOGRAPHY 9 DIRECTORY OF INSTITUTE MEMBERS, 1930-1954 205 MEMBERS WITH APPOINTMENTS OF LONG TERM 265 TRUSTEES 269 buH FOREWORD FOREWORD Publication of this bibliography marks the 25th Anniversary of the foundation of the Institute for Advanced Study. The certificate of incorporation of the Institute was signed on the 20th day of May, 1930. The first academic appointments, naming Albert Einstein and Oswald Veblen as Professors at the Institute, were approved two and one- half years later, in initiation of academic work. The Institute for Advanced Study is devoted to the encouragement, support and patronage of learning—of science, in the old, broad, undifferentiated sense of the word. The Institute partakes of the character both of a university and of a research institute j but it also differs in significant ways from both. It is unlike a university, for instance, in its small size—its academic membership at any one time numbers only a little over a hundred. It is unlike a university in that it has no formal curriculum, no scheduled courses of instruction, no commitment that all branches of learning be rep- resented in its faculty and members. It is unlike a research institute in that its purposes are broader, that it supports many separate fields of study, that, with one exception, it maintains no laboratories; and above all in that it welcomes temporary members, whose intellectual development and growth are one of its principal purposes.

  • 6 October 2016 Dear Candidate, As Americans Across the Country
    6 October 2016 Dear Candidate, As Americans across the country prepare to elect a new President and Congress, the Copyright Alliance and CreativeFuture – two organizations that strongly support creative communities by working to protect creativity and encourage respect for copyright law – have partnered on letters (attached here) and a Change.org petition, to ensure that the views of the creative communities are heard. Signed by over 35,000 creatives, audience members, fans, and consumers, the letters recognize that the internet is a powerful and democratizing force, but also stress the need for a strong copyright system that rewards creativity and promotes a healthy creative economy. Whether you are a Democrat or Republican, liberal or conservative or libertarian, strong and effective copyright is not a partisan issue, but rather one that benefits our entire country. The letters and petition discuss the complementary relationship between a strong copyright system, free expression, creativity, innovation, and technology. The signers affirmed: • We embrace the internet as a powerful democratizing force for creative industries and the world at large. • We embrace a strong copyright system that rewards creativity and promotes a healthy creative economy. • We proudly assert that copyright promotes and protects free speech. • Copyright should allow creative communities to safeguard their rights against those who would use the internet to undermine creativity. • Creative communities must be part of the conversation and stand up for creativity. Sincerely, Ruth Vitale Keith Kupferschmid CEO, CreativeFuture CEO, Copyright Alliance Open Letter to 2016 Political Candidates We are members of the creative community. While our political views are diverse, as creatives, there are core principles on which we can all agree.
