Dear list, This is a letter sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
They are trying to arrange 'around table' discussion, see below. ----------------------------------------------------------------- "Huta, Peter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Attention Richard Hayes - Re: Free Computers - Date: Fri, 30 Nov 2001 11:41:37 +1100 Hi Richard The National Office for the Information economy has recently been invited to a Microsoft eMpower roundtable meeting on 'Personal Computer Donation and Refurbishment' to be held on the 7th December 2001. The meeting has been convened by Microsoft to seek advice on the development of a new program to enable the charitable donation of second hand PCs to disadvantaged organisations and individuals. I am a member of the neat listserv and saw your posting advertising computerbank's donation program. ( NOIE is aware of the Computerbank initiative and links to your site are located on the NOIE wedsite) I feel is would be very useful for Computerbank to have a representative at the eMpower meeting (if that is not already the case) and encourage you to contact eMpower to this end. The contact person for the roundtable is Barbara Bridges [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel (02) 9360 1966 or fax (02) 9361 6698 I hope you find this information useful and suggest that at the conference you also make contact Peter Huta, Manager, Community Connectivity, who will be NOIE's representative. NOIE is presently investigating how government could assist in facilitating in the second hand donation of computers and computer equipment to recycling organisations.
