[sustran] Please help to promote this list

[Paul Barter]

Dear sustran-discussers

To make sure that the sustran list stays useful and lively we need to
constantly reach out to new members who care about these issues.  I would
like to ask for your help to spread the word a little about sustran-discuss
and the sustran news flashes.

I am sure that you all have colleagues and friends who are passionately
interested in urban transport issues in low-income and middle-income
countries.   Can I request each of you to please pass on the following
message to a few such colleagues who may not yet know about sustran-discuss
or the SUSTRAN News Flashes. We are especially keen to reach out to more
people in Asia, the Pacific, Africa and Latin America. Thanks very much in
advance for your help.

By the way, at the moment the sustran-discuss list has about 190
subscribers (many of you are "lurking" quietly) and the SUSTRAN News Flash
service has 420 subscribers (not including the sustran-discussers who also
get the News Flashes).


E-FORUMS ON TRANSPORT IN THE SOUTH

Are you interested in urban transport issues in low and middle-income
countries?  The SUSTRAN News Flash service and the SUSTRAN-DISCUSS
discussion list are forums devoted to these issues. Both are produced or
hosted by the SUSTRAN Resource Centre in Malaysia, the secretariat of the
Sustainable Transport Action Network for Asia and the Pacific (SUSTRAN).
Joining is free.  Here is all the information that you will need to join
up.


1. SUSTRAN-DISCUSS LIST
The sustran-discuss list is an open discussion forum devoted to discussions
and exchanges of news and views on the promotion of "people-centred and
sustainable transport", especially in Asia and the Pacific and in
developing and newly industrialised countries generally.

                        TO SUBSCRIBE TO THE SUSTRAN-DISCUSS LIST,
                        send a message to: <majordomo at jca.ax.apc.org>
                        with the BODY (not subject) of the message being:
                        subscribe sustran-discuss


2. SUSTRAN NEWS FLASHES
The SUSTRAN News Flash service is an electronic newsletter put out by the
secretariat of the Sustainable Transport Action Network for Asia and the
Pacific (SUSTRAN).  The News Flashes highlight news, events announcements
and information resources on sustainable and people-centred transport
issues of relevance to Asia and the Pacific and also to developing
countries in general. They come out every two or three months and each news
flash is approximately four pages in length. By the way, if you susbcribe
to sustran-discuss then you don't need to subscribe to the SUSTRAN News
Flashes, since they are also forwarded to the sustran-discuss list.

                        TO SUBSCRIBE TO SUSTRAN NEWS FLASHES
                        Send an e-mail to <majordomo at jca.ax.apc.org>
                        with the following in the body of the message:
