[Gáspár Mátyás]

Dear Mike and Others

The European Union of Telecottage Associations (EUTA, represents about
1000 telecentres in the Central and Eastern European Region) agrees with
the proposed document, Global Telecentre Alliance initiative, creation
of direct and supporting world-wide telecentre network services, joint
efforts for creating a sustainable BOP-type (base of the
pyramid)telecentre for most disadvantaged communites.

I believe that the attached letter is self-explanatory and represents
the position of what must surely be the largest CS group of those
working with ICTs at the grassroots level and specifically Telecentres.

TAP would be grateful if any of those attending WSIS or otherwise
involved in the process were to bring forward this position in the
context of the upcoming discussions concerning follow-ups from WSIS.

(And of course, sign-ons to the letter are most welcome!)..
