Federation 2.0 Scenarios from an Alternate Universe

"The scenarios constructed for the Federation 2.0 effort tend to have a cautionary tone, often expressing negative outcomes within each of the working group’s four quadrants of potential future environments, based on the degree (abundant or limited) of resource availability and the degree that external (e.g., political) issues affect academic endeavors (directed or autonomous) in each of these quadrants.

This is an attempt to cast the scenarios with positive outcomes to highlight what might happen in each of those quadrants to result in those positive outcomes. The results are below as markups of the original scenarios. New text is in red, and removed text has been struck-through."
