Summary
This document is a two-part memo from Richard Saul Wurman to participants of the WWW Conference (likely 2012). The first section outlines the rules for 'Conversations,' emphasizing improvisation, lack of preparation, and a ban on self-promotion. The second section details a 'Future App' being developed by Scrollmotion and others to host 'visual biographies' of the attendees, requesting personal photos and videos from participants like Frank Gehry and C.K. Williams. The document bears a House Oversight footer, indicating its inclusion in a government investigation, often associated with the Jeffrey Epstein case due to his connections to these scientific/tech circles.
