**************************


This list is for open discussion of the present and future of
non-commercial Caribbean Networks and their user communities.
It is expected that the discussion go beyond the actual diagnostic
and address the key issues for the future, such as:
-impact of commercial Internet,
-relationship with telecom operators,
-networks and regional integration,
-funding of networks,
-user policies for the growth of networks,
-cultural, social, economical and political impact of networks.


To join the list, send a message saying "subscribe" to:
mailto:caribuser-request@dhvx20.csudh.edu.


The list is open to anyone interested in the subject.  People
from the Caribbean (in particular, active users of the research
and NGOs networks) are especially invited to participate.


The main language is English; however, contributions in other
Caribbean languages (Spanish or French) are welcomed.  The list
will be moved to a Caribbean server as soon as possible.


Since many users pay for email by volume, please keep your posts
short, and consider compressing large documents or sending them
on request only.


The list grew out of a an on-line discussion on the question of
the number of active users in Research and NGO networks of the
Caribbean. The reading of the exchanges of this online discussion
and of the documents which preceded it may be useful to
understand the context of the actual listserv discussion.
Transcripts of those exchanges are in the file called
caribuser.txt (158 k bytes), available by FTP or gopher from
dhvx20.csudh.edu.


For those without FTP or Gopher access, the file may be retrieved
using FTPMAIL by mail as follows:
     -mail to mailto:ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com (or any other ftpmail server)
     -write in your message:
     reply <your e-mail address>
     connect dhvx20.csudh.edu
     chdir global_net
     get caribuser.txt
     quit
