Request
Let this be a modest beginning for the informal
network of public sector computerization experts,
establishment of which was one of the recommendations
by the above Group (see previous page). If you
are interested in becoming part of the network,
please send mail, conventional or electronic
to the Editor (addresses are on the last page),
with
- name and designation,
- full contact addresses,
- telephone,
- fax (telex),
- electronic mail address
(if any); and to introduce yourself
- a brief description of
your duties in your present position,
- a brief summary of your
experience in public sector computerization,
- expectations regarding
the network
We will put the information together, and distribute
the list back to the participants by using suitable
media. The idea is to get individual experts
in the Asia-Pacific region to exchange their
views and experiences in the development of
public sector information systems and policies,
both bilaterally and in the forums offered by
the United Nations, such as the Government
Computerization Newsletter and ESCAP Web
server (once established). Discussion on individual
technologies is possible, but the network would
focus on national IT policy issues, information
systems and human resource development processes,
organizational questions, and regional and international
cooperation in the public sector IT development.
Although the network would initially be moderated
by the UN ESCAP secretariat, it can be sustained
only by active participation of the members.
We would also appreciate receiving names of
organizations that are closely involved in the
public sector IT development in member and associate
member countries. The secretariat will use the
information in identifying a formal channel
of communication to the government in public
sector computerization matters.
