I think a list like this could be very use as an appendix we would include in a broader vision document on the role of telecentres in achieving the WSIS goals. I'm not sure if it's one of the first things we should be concentrating on, but I'm glad to see Gopi and others are thinking about it.

Andy and all,

On the issue of Basic Telecenter Items, let us compile the whole list at the end.
As Don said, and I agree that the list would depend from one type of telecentre to another. But a long list would certainly enable us to visualize a typical community telecenter.
If allowed by decency, I would even add some "rat traps"?

Subject: [Telecentres] RE: [Telecentre's] Basic Telecentre Items


one of the things I am pursuing is that Hurricane shelters and such be

Telecentre's, so that people are actually aware of where they are (snip).

Opposite ends of the emergency spectrum Taran however I have been advocating
for many years for the use of Telecentre's as EOC's (Emergency Operations
Centre's) for major Australian bushfires in rural and remote locations -
There is much synergy in the roles, equipment and skills of EOC's and
Telecentre's and sometimes duplication is unnecessary. Many of our
Telecentre's are equipped with UHF radio on emergency operating channels,
map and resource allocation boards, GPS equipment and other items essential
for the use of Emergency Planning or Logistics Teams - or even for the vital
function of providing communications continuity for the whole community.


I think the concept of compiling a list of items required by Telecentre's
has merit and the lists provided offer a good spread of generic items -
although in my experience equipment and software requirements do vary
considerably from Telecentre to Telecentre (and community to community).

Rgds, Don
