(World Summit on Sustainable Development Info Mailing List) – Partner Matching
Service
2002summit-L
is an announcements list for any activity related to preparations for the World
Summit on Sustainable Development.
The scope
of the 2002SUMMIT-L list has been expanded to include postings by
representatives of organizations/governments to announce the development of Type
II outcomes and calls for possible partners. It is aiming to provide an informal
mechanism to enable those developing Type II initiatives to make that
information known and to facilitate initial contact with others who are
developing similar initiatives. Follow-up communication that might explore
synergies or possible partnership opportunities would take place off-line.
The 2002SUMMIT-L list reaches approximately 25,000 people and organizations who
are involved in preparations for Johannesburg.
To use this list to post information on your organization/government's
Partnership plans, just send mail to 2002SUMMIT-L@lists.iisd.ca from the e-mail
address to which you have subscribed to the list. This mail will automatically
be sent to all of the other subscribers to 2002SUMMIT-L.
If you have been forwarded this message and would like to subscribe to
2002SUMMIT-L, visit http://wssd.info, enter your

work? What undermines them? And what is needed to establish and sustain
effective partnerships? From May 6 to June 7, 2002, on behalf of the Virtual
Exhibition, IISD will facilitate an electronic consultation on the nature of
partnerships for sustainable development. The dialogue, energized by the
participation of guest facilitators, will explore the power and potential of SD
