Sixth Floor Registration Center
Sunday, August 29-Friday, September 3 10:00 AM-8:00 PM
Ella Cisneros, President and Founder of the Together Foundation, and Hans Keller, from the management team of TogetherNet's Foundation Headquarters in Burlington, Vermont will offer access to a powerful 21st-century communications network to Parliament participants throughout the week.
TogetherNet is a computerized network which allows members to access and build bulletins, calandars, and conferences on social and environmental issues, creating a flow of information that is democratic and efficient. It is an enjoyable way to connect with people around the world who share the same concerns about the welfare of our planet and its people.
You are invited to take part in ongoing instruction in the use of this network by visiting Hans and his team at the Sixth Floor Registration Booths located in the lobby outside the Adams and Monroe Ballrooms.
Software will be provided, free of charge, to those wishing to begin using this service in their communities. Detailed information regarding nominal monthly usage fees will be provided in detail.
TogetherNet's users can send electronic mail not only to other TogetherNet users, but to users on most other networks including EcoNet, MCIMail, SprintMail, FidoNet, PeaceNet and Compuserve. TogetherNet users communicate with over one million people throughout the world on its Internet electronic mail gateway.
This extensive database provides information about foundations and organizations that provide grants in the areas of environment, development and human rights. Stored in its library is a collection of over one hundred background papers and book reviews.
The Foundation is working in collaboration with the University of Vermont to implement the Ecoline program, which logs the efforts and results of environmental and humanitarian projects around the world. The Together Foundation is officially recognized by the United Nations as an international NGO in associate status with the UN Department of Public Information.
