 * Delete as hoax. This appears to be either a complete hoax or else hoax information used to try to make an otherwise non-notable organization look notable. No reliable sources found; if this organization actually produced research and consultation for Fortune 500 companies and government agencies, there would be a multitude of references.

 * Delete. I cannot decide whether this is a hoax or just utterly non-notable; either way, it should go. Searches are complicated by the existence of other "Freund Groups" at the Universities of Manitoba and Berlin. Earlier versions of the article included a reference to this book by the group's "Acting Chair", which at least is real, though Worldcat records only one library holding, so it is hardly influential, and its existence tells us nothing about the Group.
