APPENDIX A: LISTSERV address & basic procedures
----------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT'S NEW . . .
* We have posted the latest issue, 03-11-94, of "Za Nauku". This
is available from the science page.
* We are incorporating the many good suggestions for the bio-demo
form and will be sending this to all subscribers tomorrow evening.
We hope to create the bio-demo database over the weekend and have
this new resource available by next Monday.
* Working with Yelena Rom of the Citizens Democracy Corps, we
successfully transferred the first 500 records of the CDC's NIS
email directory today. We intend to have the entire database (6,000+
records) available on the WWW server early next week. We are
most excited about offering this resource in electronic,
searchable form -- and most grateful to the CDC for making this
possible.

Subject: questionsre: f.USSR & Inet
Hi - I am new here so I hope this is the proper place to post these
questions, I am trying to gather information to write articles about the
Internet and its uses in the former USSR.
I was wondering if some/any all of you wouldn't mind answering a few
quick questions.
1) Is there currently any government regulation of the Internet
in the former USSR?
2) Has there ever been? Have there been any attempts or
suggestions to that affect?
3) How long has Russia (and the rest of the CIS) been linked to
the net?
4) Would it be possible to block/jam/stop Internet communication
easily? Forexample, thinking back to the days of censorship, does the
Internet makesuch control of communications impossible? More difficult?
Have the floodgates opened with little chance of wrenching them shut?
Thanks for your time, I'll post a copy of the article when I'm finished
if you'd like. gcole - thanks for the tip re: the NYT article.

Dear Natasha,
Although I am a stranger I would like to ask you something.
I'm just a beginner on the network, so I know only very little, but I
was wondering if a girl named Yulya Shaumyan from Kazan (Tatar) has her
own e-mail adres. I don't know how to find out.
If it is possible, and if it doesn't cause you any trouble, would you be
so kind to find that out?
I would be very grateful.
(p.s. Yulya Shaumyan is/was a student computer-sciences)
thanks a lot,
Martijn Groothuis. (Holland)

Subject: Assistance in reaching someone in Moscow
I am a new member of this internet system, one not totally versed
in all aspects of computer technology. So if I screw this up, I
apologize. Any way, I have been invited to be a guest lecturer at the
Independent Institute of Russian Entrepreneurship in Moscow, sometime in
late April or early May (for a 3 week period, depending on travel
arrangements). My contact in Moscow is Dr. Anatoly Busygin, director of
the Institute. I have had difficulty in getting a fax through to him...
after three days of no success, I contacted the American embassy and they
said they would relay a message for me. However, I don't know if, in
fact, they did so. Could you somehow inquire on the internet if there is
someone in Moscow who knows of this Institute -its located at 15
Chayanova Str. (phone 251-10-52), who might be able to contact them to
see if my message(s) have gotten thru? I'd really appreciate it.

Subject: Introduction
Hi folks, my name is Russ Knight and I'm a professor at the Western
Business School in London, Ontario, Canada. Despite the fact that you've
never heard of us, we are perhaps Canada's leading business school
(depending on who you ask). I teach in the entrepreneurship area at
Western, and have taught a similar course in New Zealand and Helsinki,
Finland, where I will be returning in May to do a repeat in their
International MBA program and a condensed version in their EMBA program.
I have written over 150 cases on Canadian entrepreneurs, 25 on New
Zealand entrepreneurs and about six on Finnish entrepreneurs, several on
opportunities to expand into the former Soviet Republics. I don' have
them all released yet, so don't rush to request copies.
We are also involved in the LEADER project, which involves sending 20-30
of our MBA's to Moscow, Kiev, Tallin, Vilnius, etc. each May to teach
Russians and others how to manage Western style, including designing business
plans. We now have a few cases developed on new ventures in the former
U.S.S.R. over the past few years.
I managed to get into St. Petersburg as a tourist for a brief visit last
July, but have not visited Moscow or any of the other centres mentioned.
I hope to hop across to Tallin in Estonia from Finland in May and write
more cases this year on opportunities for Finnish firms and others in
the former republics. If any of this is relavent to you, please reply!
If not, I won't bother you again! Regards, Russ Knight

Hi,
A comment on the draft form -- there should be an (optional) 'originally

show the diversity of the users here.

In some cases the two underlined questions may cause some confusion.
For many people, at least in Russia, there is more than one position
and more than one organization - because it's not uncommon to work
for BOTH a research lab and the university, or to work as a
volunteer after regular job... and often people need contacts in
both areas of their activities.
Maybe in the form above you should allow multiple answers to some
questions and even encourage respondents to mention as many
organizations and/or interests as they wish.
