[asia-apec 32] from the conference facilitator: who are on asia-apec?

[daga]

It may interest one and all to know that to date, there are some 112
organizations and individuals on this asia-apec listserve.

By country, topnotcher is Hong Kong with 20 subscribers, USA-18, Japan-12,
Switzerland-7,  Australia and south Korea-6, Philippines, Malaysia and
Thailand-5, Aotearoa/New Zealand, Indonesia and Netherlands-4, UK-3, Mexico
and South Africa-2, and 1 each for Singapore, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, India,
Nepal, Hawai'i, Canada, Brazil and Ecuador.

By category, broadly defined as coming from NGOs and (non-government)
individuals would be some 75 subscribers with a range of concerns from
labour, rural economy, youth and students, women, human rights, environment,
housing rights, research, church, church-related, and donor agency. 19
subscribers are from academe and 18 are network and service providers. 

What the multiplier effect of all this is, especially for service providers
who may make this conference available on their networks is yet to be
determined.

With the asia-apec electronic conference infrastructure in place, we can
likely get the discussion forum going!

Yours sincerely,

Mario Mapanao
