100 Free Proceedings!  Thanks to the U.S. National Science Foundation
we are distributing 100 free copies of the 2001 CPSR "Shaping the
Network Society" symposium proceedings to people in Africa, Asia, Latin
America, Europe, Canada, the US, and elsewhere. If you feel that these
proceedings would be useful to you and you feel that you or your
organization can't afford them, please don't hesitate to apply for a
free copy using the form at
http://www.scn.org/cpsr/diac-00/proc-contents.html.  Just fill in your
information and tell us how you plan to use the proceedings.  (If you'd
like to purchase them, check out
http://www.scn.org/cpsr/diac-00/proc-contents.html.)

Please forward this note to anybody who might be interested in this
offer.


Also, on the last day of the symposium attendees developed the "Seattle
Statement" calling for a "new public sphere."  Please sign if you
agree!  The statement is at
http://www.scn.org/cpsr/diac-00/seattle-statement.html.  Take a look!
We now have versions in English, French, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese,
and Spanish and, if you're willing and able, we'd really appreciate
your translation into another language.

Thanks for your interest!  

Please don't hesitate to contact me for any reason.
