Framework for reflection on intra- and inter-organizational issues of relevance to both intergovernmental organizations and NGOs (Part #1)

It is unnecessary to comment here on the established and successful use of electronic exchanges for: 

• individuals participating in 'international' conferences through environments created by initiatives such as PeaceNet, EcoNet, LaborNet, GreenNet and APC in general
• participation of individuals in 'international conferences' taking the form of Usenet groups
• 'mailing list conferences' organized through listservers to which individuals can subscribe, often initiated by organizations in relation to particular issues 
• use of electronic mail and groupware facilities, whether in an inter-net or intra-net environment, possibly initiated by particular international organizations
