Message for focal points
Greetings from UNGASS!
Here is an outline of the WomenAction Information Dissemination Strategy.
We are writing to you as you have agreed, or have expressed interest in
acting as information dissemination focal points in your region or country
for the WomenAction activities during UNGASS June 5-8th.
1. The Information Pool
We've created a B5News 'Information Pool' which contains all information
coming in to WomenAction from various sources. This is 'private' i.e.it is
for the focal points only. The email address is b5News@lists.sn.apc.org
This information pool includes the following content:
1. The WomenAction daily newspaper
2. The Flamme (African region) daily newspaper
**See below for more information on the dissemination of the newspaper**
3. Additional content that has not appeared in the WomenAction Daily
newspaper such as messages from caucuses, meeting announcements, special
events - basically any information which comes to us in electronic format.
We would like the focal points to decide which content is the most
appropriate and relevant for your regions and disseminate accordingly. The
HTML archive is
http://lists.sn.apc.org/private/b5news - this archive is updated nightly at
approximately 24h00 GMT. You can select material from this archive and
forward to your networks, or alternatively, you can also subscribe to the
full list. (Please note - there will be a lot of information in this list).
You can subscribe to b5news by sending an email to:

Introductory Message for B5NGO lists
The purpose of the B5NGONews list for this week is to post the WomenAction
daily newspaper which is being produced at UNGASS from 5 - 9 June 2000. The
newspaper is an independent trilingual newspaper that critically reflects on
the activities at UNGASS 2000 with the intention of expressing opinion and
stimulating debate.
The newspaper is being produced in English, French and Spanish and the
Flamme newspaper in English and French. To reflect this we have set up lists
for the three WomenAction newspapers. If you would prefer to change from the
list to which you are subscribed to another language, see below for the URL
