Hello!

Enclosed is an announcement about the proceedings from the
Seattle conference.  (Better late than never!)  I'm sending 
this to a few lists that I believe are appropriate.  Please 
accept my apologies if you get more than one copy of this!  
BTW, please free to forward this announcement to any person 
whom you think would be interested.  Thanks!

In May 2000, 400 activists, technologists, artists, researchers,
journalists, students, and citizens ventured to Seattle to help Shape
the Network Society, to help meet the needs of PEOPLE -- not business 
or government.

The proceedings from this symposium contain 34 insightful and
innovative papers from the civic activists and researchers who are
making this happen. Topics include telecenters in Mexico, Hungary, and
other regions, using technology to build civic society in Nigeria,
shaping virtual communities, labor organizations and new communication
technology, navigating very large-scale digital conversations,
counterculture and cyberculture, Internet governance, domain name
policy, health promotion with ICT, progressive communications and
networking, and many many others. See table of contents
(http://www.scn.org/cpsr/diac-00/toc.html) for the complete list of
papers and workshop descriptions.

Please help us find a good home for these proceedings. Discount prices
are available for orders of 10 of more.  Why not have your company or
school library purchase one?

create and share information and ideas in the future.  How these
conversations about the environment, culture, leisure, and political
decisions, are conducted is everybody's business!
