volunteer as well but only because to this point I haven't seen anything of
interest coming out concerning the Global Alliance where I would have
thought my efforts would be better placed. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

it does develop as I have heard some rumours, in the form of the same
old same old i.e. son of DOTForce, ICT Task Force etc.etc. then I
would look to introduce the issues that are of concern to the folks with

in this context I've just returned from a meeting of the European Union of
Telecottage Associations where some 20 or so networks of national
telecottage (viz. telecentre) associations (primarily from Central and Eastern
Europe but also including Russia and Central Asia) were represented and where
broad issues of ICT deployment particularly in rural areas as an aspect of
overall national development were very much on the agenda for
discussion... </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

>>><BR>>I think this depends on whether or not all those who
would like to get <BR>>nominated are nonetheless willing to volunteer for
nomcom. I am willing <BR>>to volunteer. And I will send a message to the
german WSIS list asking<BR>>all the silent subscribers to the IG caucus
list to volunteer too. If<BR>>others do the same, we should have no
problem at all to get 25 and more. <BR><BR>I will volunteer for the nomcom
as well. If not selected for the Nomcom via random means, I would like to be
a North American representative on the MAG, but it is I think serious
participants in the caucus to take the obligation for the caucus to function
seriously enough to get their priorities straight. </BLOCKQUOTE>

just discussed this with a colleague here at Syracuse and I think he intends
to volunteer too.
