2002summit-l@lists.iisd.ca (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 e-mail address at the top of the page and hit the "submit" button.
