 In alpha order by last name. Two-line maximum detail description, thanks. I. Foresight Professionals - Global List
 We'd presently guess there are perhaps 100,000 living individuals that have given prescient talks or done serious work in various areas of long-term (10+ year) scientific, technological, business, or social foresight. Perhaps 20,000 of these have published peer-reviewed foresight research in academic or trade journals, and perhaps 3,000 have given dedicated university or other courses that are substantially focused on long-term foresight. How soon can we get this starter list of professionals, researchers, and educators above 1,000 (representing 1% of the community)? How soon can we get it above 10,000 (10% of the community)? This list is a stub. It is ready for your additions. Do you know any foresight professionals or academics that should be listed here?
