=============================================================================

Join the international conversation:

CPSR-GLOBAL is a moderated Listserv for uniting people all over the world
who want to talk about:

**decisions the USA will make on the information infrastructure,
or NII,  that will affect the rest of the world--we want the NII to be
a positive force for a GII (global information infrastructure)

**issues of national identity, "cultural pollution," and
international communication and the GII

**the new emerging GII world culture

**international issues of security and privacy and  computer law

**international issues of computer development (keyboards, safety)

**issues of design

**language

And whatever other global issues you want to discuss.  Right now
the list will be predominately in English, because it's the lingua
franca of the Net.  It is a MODERATED list.  That means any
posts which are not "on topic" or inflammatory will be filtered out.
You can tell our messages because of the (@) in the subject line.

To join this discussion write to listserv@cpsr.org with a blank
subject and the email command
        SUBSCRIBE CPSR-GLOBAL Firstname Lastname
where Firstname and Lastname are replaced by your first name and last
name.  If you are reading this as a welcome message because you've just
joined, then welcome!

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BELONG TO CPSR TO JOIN THE DISCUSSION!!!

The list owner and moderator, Marsha Woodbury, is a Director at Large
for CPSR with a strong interest in international cooperation.

KISS--Keep it short, sort of    (-:
Remember:  people on small, slow machines have a lot of
trouble keeping up with the CPSR-GLOBAL traffic.  These folks are
often the ones in the less-developed part of the world, or who are
stuck with slow modems and financial constraints.  Long posts might bog them
down and make them leave the group--something we definitely
don't want.  KISS, please...

If you want to receive CPSR-GLOBAL less frequently, but not
miss out on what people are talking about, you can set it
to DIGEST--you will then receive all the posts in one mailing,
usually about once a day.  Your mailbox doesn't get so full that
way.  On the other hand, it's not as fun (!)...

here are the directions:

email to:  listserv@Sunnyside.COM

your message should read:

CPSR, Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility,
 is based at a home office in Palo Alto, California, and has
22 chapters.  You can learn more about CPSR at
http://www.cpsr.org/dox/home.html or by writing to
listserv@cpsr.org with the email message HELP.  CPSR began
as a response to the Star Wars program, when members
wrote reports and testified at hearings about the impossibility
of providing a "fail-safe" network of nuclear missles in outer
space.  Today CPSR is interested in all social issues related to the
use of computers, from repetitive stress syndrome from keyboard use, to
the intrusion into privacy by government and business, and others.
CPSR is a highly respected group, whose members are well informed.

The 1,800 members of CPSR have an awareness about the potential
benefits of computers to our society, such as their ability to
personalize the interface from an otherwise large impersonal society
to the individual, but the also understand the large potential
risk inherent in the use of computers and computer technology by
individuals, governments, and corporations. CPSR asks questions such
as, "Will there be equal access to the Information Superhighway"
(also called the "Infobahn" or NII)?  What can we do to lessen the gap
between those who are "information-rich" and those who are
"information-poor?"
