From: gary@web.apc.org (Gary Campbell) To: aa127@freenet.carleton.ca Subject: Re: Freenet conference in Ottawa Date: Thu, 14 Jul Just filling out the conference registration form. The last couple of questions request information on delegates. I'm not sure if I can can identify myself as a delegate. Can you help me? I'm with NirvCentre which operate the internet host Web. In the Canadian Internet Handbook describes us as follows: "NirvCentre is a nonprofit organization that aims to provide new information technology and communications resouces to organizations that are not motivated by profit. By doing so, NirvCentre intends to contribute to building a self-reliant community based on nonprofit enterprise, co-operation, and mutual aid that, as a community, can support, maintain, and defend principles of social responsinbility, ecology, and economic justice. In particular, NirvCentre aims to assist those organizations that advocate, and participate in, making changes to institutions of all kinds in order to effect a more equal distribution of wealth and power, and to defend the natural environment." Please let me know if NirvCentre (Web) meets your criteria. Gary Campbell gary@web.apc.org 613-729-3132 Note from Garth Graham...I replied that, in my personnal opinion, the lack of a specific focus on the development needs of particular *geographic* community meant that WEB did NOT qualify for membership. Would anyone else care to ponder this one?
