Subject: FW: NNIC Consultation - Adelaide Public Meeting


Special Attention: All nonprofit organisations in South Australia

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 www.communIT.info 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.

As part of that study we will be holding public meetings in major cities around Australia (unfortunately the budget provided does not stretch to regional visits but there is ample opportunity for you to have your input via the online survey running until 11 September at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=421932460447 and via comments on the draft report, which will be available in October.)

The Adelaide public meeting will be held at 3pm on Thursday 28 September, at the Disability Information and Resource Centre (DIRC), 195 Gilles St, Adelaide. 

Please RSVP for this important event by return email to this address by Friday 22 September. A draft of the program is below. We look forward to seeing you there. (If you're reading this in other States/Territories, you will receive information about the meeting in your area shortly.)

Regards
Doug Jacquier, CEO, CISA
Convenor, NNIC Consultation consortium
