The Citizens Network for Sustainable Development

An automated mailing list has now been set up for the Citizens Network for Sustainable Development! To join the list, send an email message to: majordomo@igc.org with the message: subscribe citnet-list [your email address].

Work has also been initiated to create a website for the Citizens Network. The temporary address is http://www.odsnet.com/habitat/citnet/citnet.html A permanent address will be established as soon as the site reaches completion. Suggestions or submissions for the site are welcomed, please email nmaffitt@aol.com with your comments.
