- TFI.INTERNAL CONFERENCE EMAIL FEEDS
-
- ... A New Private Conference on Indonesia ...
-
- Task Force Indonesia has set up a _private_ store-and-forward conference
- called tfi.internal for its own use.
-
- Portions of tfi.internal may be made available through a gratis
- _email feed_ to cooperating organizations, groups, and individuals. Others
- may also receive feeds from it on a fee-for-service basis. This shared
- information will mainly, but not exclusively, consist of current news.
-
- TFI's own project information will continue only to be available to TFI
- members engaged in those projects.
-
- tfi.internal is _stored_ on the Digital Express system and may not be
- accessed directly. Your access to tfi.internal is possible _solely_ through
- these email feeds.
-
-
- ... You May Need This Material ...
-
- For many online, various existing _public_ conferences will carry an adequate
- amount of information.
-
- However, for others seriously interested in Indonesia or East Timor, you may
- need the additional material from the tfi.internal conference.
-
-
- ... Use of tfi.internal Email Feeds ...
-
- The _supplementary_ material in tfi.internal may only be used in agreed
- ways.
-
- Recipients of tfi.internal material may _not_ disseminate it further
- _electronically_ through cross-posting in other conferences, lists,
- newsgroups, bulletin boards, or emailed announcements or correspondence
- _unless_ specific agreements have been reached.
-
- Breach of these principles will result in immediate termination of the feed.
-
- Typical permitted uses of tfi.internal feeds might include organizational,
- group, or individual activist work or research (excluding online mass mailing
- to members of an organization or group) and release through organizational
- periodicals (excluding electronic publishing), leaflets, press releases,
- and print/broadcast media.
-
-
- ... Arranging a tfi.internal Feed ...
-
- To discuss and arrange an email feed, please email apakabar@access.digex.com
- (John MacDougall, TFI Coordinator). Relevant feeds can be quickly arranged
- for organizations, informal groups, and individuals cooperating in some
- meaningful and sustained way with Task Force Indonesia. This cooperation
- might take such forms as pursuing minimum common goals, sharing private
- information, translating, monitoring media, or coordinating public posting.
-
- Getting a feed should be quite easy for any organization, group, or individual
- willing to make a modest effort at reciprocity.
-
- Others who would like a feed but who for various reasons cannot make such
- an effort may obtain a relevant feed on a negotiated fee-for-service basis.
- TFI reserves the right to select recipients of fee-for-service feeds.
-
-
- ... Phasing in the Feeds ...
-
- Over the coming weeks, tfi.internal feeds will be _automatically_ set up
- for organizations, groups, and individuals with whom TFI has had some sort
- of formal or informal cooperation. In these cases, just watch your mailbox.
- Some omissions will inadvertently occur, so please be in early email contact
- if there has been mutual aid and cooperation.
-
- Others seeking a feed but who may not fall in this category should email
- apakabar@access.digex.com at any convenient opportunity.
-
- This is a new TFI project with potential significant benefits for many
- with access to Internet resources, but as in all new projects unanticipated
- circumstances may require special handling. Your patient discussion of these
- through email will be greatly appreciated.
