3. IFPCenter.DC™ In Support of the CNI Mission
The IFPCenter™ is a global physical and virtual think tank, without walls,
that supports the CNI through improved collaboration and knowledge
sharing across all sectors of society.
It provides a strategic intersection that enables global knowledge sharing in
support of our nation’s mission for Middle East peace and prosperity.
Through the use of advanced and emerging computing and communications
technology and sustainable energy design, the IFPCenter™ enhances
information flow, analysis, knowledge sharing, and decision support for
NGO’s and the citizens of the world.
It connects hundreds of NGOs and Citizens for research, work,
collaboration, and problem solving on issues in common thereby facilitating
cultural transformation, cross cultural translation, education, understanding
and improved international relations.

men, in all lands, everywhere. Destroy this spirit and you will have planted the seeds
of despotism around your own doors.”
- Abraham Lincoln
IFPCenter Foundation - In Support of The Council for the National Interest (CNI)
A non-profit, non-partisan grassroots organization advocating a new direction for U.S.
Middle East policy. As CNI Founding Chairman Paul Findley notes, CNI is "motivated
by the national interest of our country in Middle East policy. This organization provides
a way for all citizens, regardless of religious affiliation or national origin, to speak out in
an effective way."
Its membership consists of well-informed supporters from all ethnic, religious, social,
and political backgrounds who strongly believe the American national interest is directly
linked to upholding American principles and values, and strictly adhering to
international law.
Its operations are entirely funded by donations from individual American citizens. We
receive no government support, foreign or domestic.

7. Using Sustainable Energy Resources
Wind, Solar and Geothermal
The situation is different with sustainable energy sources, such as hydroelectric, wind, solar, and geothermal energy
sources, because there is no bulk reserve to account for (other than the Sun's lifetime), but the energy continuously trickles,
so only the energy required for extraction is considered. In all energy extraction cases, the life cycle of the energy-
extraction device is crucial for the NEG-ratio. If an extraction device is defunct after 10 years, its NEG will be significantly
lower than if it operates for 30 years. Therefore, the energy payback time (sometimes referred to as energy amortization)
can be used instead, which is the time, usually given in years, a plant must operate until the running NEG becomes positive
(i.e. until the amount of energy needed for the plant infrastructure has been harvested from the plant). For photovoltaic cells,
the NEG of their production depends on the operating lifetime, and the amount of sunlight available in the operating location.
Today the breakeven energy payback time (the amount of time required to produce an amount of energy equal to that
originally used to manufacture the array) is around 2 to 4 years compared to an effective production life of over 20 to 30
years (e.g. many manufacturers now provide a 25-year warranty on their products).
The Architecture of the Capital Hill IFPCenter™ will use the Net Energy Gain formula for
each energy resource considered in its planning, design, development and operation e.g.:
• Wind
• Solar
• Geothermal
• Other

8. User Organizations of the IFPCenter™
• Initially the IFPCenter™ will be comprised of 15 Washington-based
organizations.
• By invitation, the IFPCenter™ it will also be available to foreign
organizations and to American grassroots and regional organizations
physically and virtually.
• Organizations from each region of the world
will be encouraged to join as users,
investors, owners or lessees of space.

9. Why do we Need an IFPCenterTM on Capitol Hill?
Foreign Policy Think Tanks in Washington are currently scattered about
the District with inadequate conference, media, and global
communications facilities, a place of their own with easy access to the
Hill.
NGOs based in Washington need:
• An affordable alternative to their increasingly expensive leased spaced.
Foreign policy NGOs from abroad need:
• Permanent office in Washington DC with full communication collaboration facilities.
• Permanent Facilities in foreign countries that mirror IFPCenters™ on Capital Hill with
full communications and collaboration facilities.

10. Who will administer the IFPCenter™?
• The IFPCF was incorporated in 2008 and obtained
501(c)(3) status with the IRS.
• The board of directors will be recruited by the
organizations involved that will then select
Chairman and President.
• It is hoped that Americans having expertise in all
regions of the world will be represented on the
board.

11. FUNDING - Goals and Objectives
Summary
PHASE I Immediate-Term Planning, Funding and Organization of Temporary
and Long-Term Facilities - ($1,600,000) 2009 (Tasks)
• Develop List of Organizations (potential members, partners, affiliates).
• Secure Long-term Lease Agreements for (1) Phase I - Temporary 2010-2014,
and (2) Phase II - Permanent space on Capital Hill 2015-1020 and beyond.
• Select Building Site/Location for Temporary Facility (2009-2010).
• Select Building Site/Location for Permanent Facility (2009-2010); scoping and
detailing final program requirements based on expected occupants.
Estimated Cost of A&E fees during this phase $1.6M.
• Expected Cost of IFPCenter™ Capital Hill $100M-$240M.
PHASE II Long-Term Vision to have Global Network of IFPCenters™ (Tasks)
• Supporting policy across the greater middle east IFPCenterNetwork™
• Support our nation’s mission for Middle East peace and prosperity.
07/17/09 11
• Improve collaboration across all sectors of society.

12. Phase II Cost - New Building 2014
• Land - The estimated cost for the site is between $7-10 M
dollars.
• IFPCenter™ - The estimated cost of the building structure
depends on its final design, but knowledgeable local developers
suggest it will range between $100-120M dollars. Depending on
the Final Number of Occupants and integrated Architectural
Design Configurations this estimate could be twice this amount,
i.e., $200-$240M.
• The IFPCenter™ will provision its occupants with below the
expected cost of ordinary office facilities by 2014 and with
amenities that go far beyond ordinary office space..

13. How the IFPCenter™ will be Funded
• Seeking an initial pledge of $1 million from a foundation or an
individual; plus matching funds.
• Equity pledges will be sought from foreign policy organizations
owning property in DC.
• A continuing campaign to raise up to $20 million during
2009-2010. These funds will be used to pay for the professional
A&E design and consulting services for Phase II estimated to be
a percentage of cost of construction, i.e., $5M-$10M.
• The income from leased space and parking, Phase I, is
expected to exceed $1 million per year. There is no intention to
have a continuing mortgage on the building, although
construction loans may be sought during all construction phases
of Phase II.
