[PEN-L:5192] Call for Papers and Invitation to attend

["Seyoum_Zeg@xxxxxxxx" <Seyoum_Zeg@xxxxxxxx>]

Dear Friends:

Since November 1994, the Council on Information for Sustainable Development
(CISD) has been working on holding its first International Conference on
Information for Sustainable Development (ICISD) to be held in the last week
of November 1995 (Dallas, Texas).   The theme of the conference is
"Celebrating the right to know."  Any one interested to speak or write about
the role of information in the socioeconomic development of nations
(developed or developing) is welcome to do so.  Due date for paper
presenters is August 15, 1995.  Send us an abstract and a biographical
sketch of the presenter for consideration.  The completed paper can be
submited separately before the due date.    A call for papers and
invitations for participation and attendance have been forwarded to many
individuals and organizations.  The interest both for paper presentations
and participation in the conference has been overwhelming.  We thank all
those who responded so positively to discuss and exchange ideas, techniques,
and experiences at an international level.  We are expecting over 500
participants.  So far over 350 have assured us to be in Dallas in November
1995.   At the same time many people and organizations have pointed out that
there are still many others who have not received the word about the
conference.

This should not happen in the age of the Information Superhighway, and
therefore we are relying on e-mail to broadcast our invitioans.  We request
all interested parties to present papers, participate or hold exhibits and
demonstrations to immediately reply to this mail or to contact Dr. Seyoum
Zegiorgis at the following address.  We will send you all the pertinent
information regarding venue, registration forms and hotel and traavel
reservation information.  Thank you.
