<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=639291101-07092006>As you may be aware,
a study is currently under way to assess the possibility of establishing a
national nonprofit ICT coalition (or NNIC), with a view to developing the
information and communications technology capacity of Australia's nonprofit
organisations (visit the NNIC section of <A
href="http://www.communIT.info">www.communIT.info</A> for full details). This
DCITA-funded study is being undertaken by a consortium involving CISA,
ACOSS, Monash University's Centre for Community Networking Research, Work
Ventures, Albany Consulting and Energetica.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

study we will be holding public meetings in major cities around Australia
