  I take steps toward the construction of a CFT dual to Vasiliev's higher spin
gravity in three dimensional de Sitter space. There are two main claims. The
first is that higher spin de Sitter symmetries are related to extended Virasoro
symmetries, as in AdS; this is verified explicitly for the case of W_3
asymptotic symmetry. The associated chiral algebra has imaginary central
charge. The second (conjectural) claim, inspired by work of Gaberdiel and
Gopakumar in AdS_3/CFT_2, is that an appropriate CFT can be identified as an
exotic non-unitary WZW coset model at complex level.
