Hi Ken (and everyone else), So far we have not pursued video conferencing - but I am willing to pay the phone bill for anyone wishing to participate via a conference call. This is not as effective, but we have done it in the past and have accepted this as a valid means of exchange. Anyone who would like to participate by conference call, please feel free to drop me a personal e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] before the end of work September 9th and I will see what can be arranged. ============================================ On a separate note, I have just recently heard about plans for the next Earth Summit being planned for September 2002. Anyone interested should check out their website at: http://www.earthsummit2002.org/default.htm. This is the 10-year follow to the Rio conference. The 2002 meeting is focusing on sustainable development - including the information needs to make such visions closer to reality. Maybe there are some lessons GOMINFOEX can present to the world audience. ============================================ Cheers, Paul Boudreau GOMINFOEX Info-Nag > -----Original Message----- > From: Ken Murchison [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, September 06, 2001 14:13 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: (GOMINFOEX) Marine Habitat Characterization and Mapping > Workshop -Oct. 21-23rd - Maine > > Paul, > > I've been waaiting for a time that may allow me to attend one of these > workshops but do to time and budgetary constraints I've been unable to > connect.
