Dear All, Nominating me to represent the world telecentre movement is a great recognition of my work in our region. Thanks. I'm quiet and waiting with the respond because I don't see what this work/mission means in practice, whether my different skills, are good for that, or not. First, serving in such position, I'm afraid, my English is not good enough (my native language is Hungarian, and the second, close to the native is Russian, English is my so called "woking" languge. The other thing is, my position at this moment is a telecentre volunteer, parallely with my loved telecentre "hobby" as the EUTA president and expert, I've to work also for money for living (teaching at Budapest Economy College, consulting the Hungarian Ministry of Informatics, city governments, and also UNDP in community informatics missions). So, of course, it will be great honor for me to work in this mission, I think I have good experience for that, but to give a responsible answer(yes or no), I simply doesn't see the whole picture, how this affects my life. But, if you think - despite this - I'm the "solution", let's go further, I'm not against, please help me to clarify, wether my conditions are real constrains. If not, I'm ready to work with this group and future organisation on my "right place". My basic interest is to create a world-wide multicultural community telecentre network, without borders, based on some shared values (community, solidarity, knowledge, equal opportunity and some others).
Matyas Gaspar -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andy Carvin Sent: Tuesday, September 28, 2004 11:27 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Telecentres] Important: WGIG nominations must be submittedbymidnight GMT Given the fact we're extremely short on time, and also that the likelihood of any of our candidates being picked is modest at best, I would be comfortable submitting Gaspar, Karin and Taran, all of whom I think would represent our interests quite well. My one concern is that we have not heard from either Gaspar or Karin, and I fear they may not come online before it is too late. Perhaps what we could do is this: I could contact the coordinator of the process, and see if it would be alright to offer their names tentatively, and explain that we are a brand new working group and only got the notice at the last minute, so we're still waiting to hear from Gaspar and Karin to confirm their interest. That way, we can throw their names into the hat rather than miss the hat entirely, but have the option to withdraw their names if they decline the nomination. Would anyone have any objections to this? Or a better idea?
