Sustainable Development Issues Network - listserver

Sustainable Development Issues Network (SDIN) announces new SDIN listserver for the World Summit

As you may know, the Sustainable Development Issues Network (SDIN) is a coalition of nongovernmental issue-based caucuses and networks during the year before the World Summit on Sustainable Development. The purpose of the coalition is to provide mutual support and exchange of information among NGO caucuses and networks promoting sustainable development.

We would like to announce and invite you to join a new listserver http://sdissues.net/sdin/discuss.aspx hosted by SDIN to encourage substantive DISCUSSION AND DIALOGUE on the important issues and strategies of concern in the World Summit on Sustainable Development. In the remaining weeks of the Summit there are many topics and questions of concern to participants and observers that will need to be addressed by NGOs.

For more information about some of the issue caucuses and networks involved in the WSSD, see www.sdissues.net

Note: The purpose of this listserver is NOT to compete or be an alternative with the other listservers on the World Summit already operating which are providing useful information about the WSSD process and events. In fact, we strongly discourage the use of this listserver to post duplicate announcements of events, activities and other news already carried on these current listservers. Other WSSD listservers carrying information about the Summit include:

• http://www.un.org/esa/sustdev/csdlistserver.htm - UN Summit Secretariat listserver
• http://iisd.ca/enb/2002summit-l.asp - International Institute for Sustainable Development's 2002Summit list
• http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rio10/ - Danish 92's WSSD newsletter (see also http://www.rio10.dk/index.php?home=1
• http://www.worldsummit2002.org/ - Heinrich Boell's WSSD newsletter
• http://lists.healthdev.net/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?join=earthsummit2002 - Stakeholder Forum's EarthSummit2002 list

There are also several other listservers as well as websites focusing on the Summit and we encourage you to find out about them.

INDIGENOUS PEOPLES' CAUCUS - WSSD
PrepCom II, New York.

Dear friends,

We are forwarding you 8 interventions that were verbally presented by the Indigenous Peoples' Caucus at the World Summit on Sustainable Development Prep Com II in New York, NY. The other interventions were not yet made available in digital format or were submitted in handwritten form to the WSSD Secretariat.

Many members of the Caucus have left NY to participate in Convention on Biodiversity meetings in Montreal, Canada. Others will stay in NY to lobby governments next week on issues that we feel should remain in the official outcome of the session.

We will be sending more information when it becomes available, including how to access the archive of Indigenous Peoples' statements and relevant background information that has been in the process of being assembled by one of the co-facilitators of the Indigenous Peoples' Major Group Caucus (the International lndian Treaty Council).

We recognize the need to have these documents translated into Spanish (to start with), French and Russian, and will work to find thos organizations/others who could accomplish this task.

Best wishes for all of the work being done by you at various international and other meetings,

Carol Kalafatic
Project coordinator, IITC New York
