ANNOUNCING NEW ACTION-ORIENTED, POLITICS OF SCIENCE &
TECHNOLOGY ELECTRONIC DISCUSSION LISTS:
POL-SCI-TECH
and
FASTnet (FEDERATION OF ACTIVISTS ON SCIENCE &
TECHNOLOGY NETWORK)
Many recipients of Loka Alerts have been asking for some time: How can I communicate and collaborate directly with others on the Loka e-mail list? Two, complementary answers are now at hand:
(1) If you are interested in promoting a more democratic politics of science and technology within the United States, please join the new electronic discussion list: FASTnet (Federation of Activists on Science and Technology Network).
To subscribe to FASTnet send an e-mail message to:
majordomo@igc.apc.org
Leave the subject line blank. The text of the message should be:
subscribe FASTnet
(2) If you are interested in discussing democratic politics of science and technology anywhere in the world (i.e., not only in the U.S.) and forging new transnational collaborations, please join FASTnet's new sibling list: pol-sci-tech. To subscribe to pol-sci-tech send an e-mail message to:
majordomo@igc.apc.org
Leave the subject line blank. The text of the message should be:
subscribe pol-sci-tech
(Of course, you are welcome to subscribe to both FASTnet and pol-sci-tech.) Upon subscribing, you will receive a message describing each list's purpose and operation in greater detail.
NOTE TO NEW SUBSCRIBERS: As with all pioneering electronic ventures, please be a little patient during the inevitable period of start-up wobbles and glitches. FASTnet and pol-sci-tech represent important new attempts to foster cross-issue awareness and alliances that can help promote a more socially responsive politics of science and technology.
Loka Alert subscribers who wish to keep their e-mail traffic low need do nothing. Loka Alerts will continue to arrive at periodic, well-spaced intervals. However, you may also choose to subscribe temporarily to FASTnet or pol-sci-tech whenever you want to post your own alert or inquiry, and then unsubscribe after receiving replies.
*
Loka Alerts, FASTnet, and pol-sci-tech are activities of the broader Public Interest Technology Policy Project (a collaborative effort of the Loka Institute and the Institute for Policy Studies). The Project is pleased to announce that its 1994 start-up grants from the Menemsha Fund and Rockefeller Family Associates have just been supplemented by a $50,000 grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.
Unlike the open electronic conferences FASTnet and pol-sci- tech, Loka-L (the distributor of Loka Alerts) represents a one- way news-and-opinion dissemination service. If you would like to be added to, or removed from Loka-L, please send an e-mail message to that effect to: resclove@amherst.edu ```
