Subject: GII Information


My name is Randi Berger and I am a research assistant at the Information
Infrastructure Project at Harvard University in the United States. One of
our cuurent projects deals with the many issues surrounding the
development of a global information infrastructure. We are interested in
obtaining information on national and international initiatives regarding
the development of such an infrastructure. Our research will culminate in
a series of conferences over the next two years. Two to be held in
January of 1996 are: "National and International Initiatives for
Information Infrastructure" and "Information, National Policies and
International Infrastructure". We are also planning a conference on
"Information Infrastructure and Development", and finally, a conference
on "International Institutions and Institutional Issues".


Issues we are particularly interested in include, the interaction of
national information policies with the development and use of
international information infrastructure, which may include related
topics such as intellectual property, privacy, security and export
control, technology transfer and diffusion of information,
interoperability and standards as well as many others. We are also
interested in broad-based national initiatives designed to accelerate
private investment to serve a wide range of public objectives.


I came across your name while researching these topics. I am interested
in finding out the type of research that you do and whether it relates to
our project. If you are aware of anyone else that might be a useful
resource for my work, I would appreciate it if you could give me the
information that I'll need to get in touch with them. As you can
probably see, these topics are very broad and encompass many fields of
study. I would appreciate any direction you might be able to give me
towards this endeavor. Additionally, if you might be interested in
attending any of these conferences, please let me know.


A call for papers for each of the first two conferences is posted at the
Information Infrastructure Project's home page:

If you have any questions or information, I can be reached at
(617)496-5584 or via email at mailto:randi23@acs.bu.edu. I thank you in advance
for your help in he success of this project.


Thank you.
