Welcome to

BEIJING95-L 
(United Nations Conference on Women, Beijing,  1995)

BEIJING95-L is a fully moderated international electronic forum FOR WOMEN 
ONLY dedicated to the discussion United Nations Conference on Women which 
will convene in September 1995 in Beijing, China.  

It is hoped that BEIJING95-L will provide a network for women where we 
can exchange information concerning the upcoming conference.  Topics 
include, but are not limited to:

**  Pre-conference events (regional meetings, etc.)
**  Prior U.N. Women's Conferences (Mexico City, 1975 and Nairobi, 1985) 
**  Travel and tour arrangements
**  Non-Governmental Organization (NGOs) information
**  Caucuses
**  International formal & informal reports on the current status of women
**  Job, volunteer and organizational opportunities related to the conference
**  Post-regional and post conference follow-ups.

Especially in reference to travel and tours that are posted to 
BEIJING95-L: please exercise prudence and thoroughly check-out the 
companies/individuals before committing any financial resources--the list 
moderator nor NETCOM is libel in the event of any problems.  Also, even 
though the goal of this forum is primarily the exchange of information, 
please honor copyright rules of information that you wish to post (a 
summary & source citation may be a better posting).

Although the origin of BEIJING95-L is the United States of America (more 
specifically: San Jose, CA) and the moderator in english-speaking, it is 
hoped that BEIJING95-L will transcend a northamerican-centric focus.  
Please feel free to post in English, Spanish, French, German, etc.  If 
there is a call, language-specific lists may be created.   A digest-form 
of the list is also in the works.  If enough men are interested, a 
separate male-inclusive list may also be included. 

BEIJING95-L is not officially sponsored by the United Nations nor any 
organization--it is a labor of love born from the belief that the U.N. 
Conference on Women, Beijing 1995 will be a catalyst for women all over 
the world to lead humankind and creation into the 21st century!  This 
list is also born from the frustration of the lack of media coverage of 
pre-U.N. Women Conference events (and women's issues in general) plus 
difficulty accessing direct information about the conference itself.   It 
is also hoped, that the information provided on this list will enable as 
many women as possible from every conceivable background to attend the 
conference.  For information, input, or if you are having technical 
difficulties, please contact the list moderator, Jennifer Gagliardi,  
gagliajn@netcom.com.

Finally, BEIJING95-L is a FULLY MODERATED LIST.  This means that each 
posting is screened--not to censor information--but mostly to protect the 
"women-only" cyberspace of the list, to control traffic, to promote 
netiquette, and to discourage flaming.  Although making 'net 
friends/contact is highly encouraged, please "chat" off-list.  
Occasionally a posting may be returned with suggestions concerning 
netiquette(very, very rarely, I hope!)  Courtesy, accuracy of information 
exchanged, and having fun are paramount!

Blessings!
