>===========================================================
>ANNOUNCING: GLOBAL PARTICIPATION NET (GP-NET)!
>
>>You are cordially invited to subscribe to USAID'S new electronic
>>discussion group, GP-NET, which will open September 11.  GP-NET
>>uses Internet to enable interested USAID staff and other
>>development practitioners anywhere in the world to engage in a
>>conversation about participatory approaches.
>>
>>The conversation will have a facilitator (or "manager" of the
>>list), Wendy Kapustin, who will make subscribing and
>>participating "user friendly."  More importantly, Wendy will
>>encourage the group to focus attention on specific experiences
>>and lessons learned about participatory approaches, as well as to
>>share useful information and resources for participation.
>>
>>Short case studies that focus on the use by USAID of a particular
>>"participatory practice" and explore results and lessons learned
>>about its use will be disseminated for discussion.  GP-NET
>>participants will be encouraged not only to comment on these
>>cases and the issues they raise, but to describe other
>>instructive experiences.  With your help, some of these, in turn,
>>will be fleshed out as Participatory Practices cases.
>>
>>Please note: GP-NET is not replacing the Participation Network.
>>As you know, the Participation Network is a list on our internal
>>e-mail directory of USAID staff who wish to receive summaries of
>>the Participation Forum sessions and related notices and
>>materials.  GP-NET, on the other hand, makes use of "listproc"
>>software on the Internet, to enable the messages that you send
>>automatically to be received by all other GP-NET subscribers.
>>Another important difference is that GP-NET includes development
>>practitioners from outside USAID: other donors, PVOs,
>>universities and--with your help--host country NGOs and other
>>institutions.  Like the Participation Network and the
>>Participation Forum, GP-NET is an effort of USAID's Participation
>>Initiative.
>>
>>If you would like to subscribe to GP-NET, or if you have
>>questions about it, please contact Wendy Kapustin via e-mail (or
>>at: WKAPUSTIN@USAID.GOV).  To subscribe you, she will need to
>>know your Internet address.
