There is an intention to organize the Internet Conference on Ecocity
(tentative title) as a post-conference activity of the 5th International
Eco-city Conference (Shenzhen, China 19-23 Aug 2002
http://www.icsu-scope.org.cn/english_version/ecoscape.htm#3 )

** How will the Internet Conference be organized ?

The intention is
(1) to distribute a CD that contains all materials for the conference.
It will include abstracts and papers presented at the 5th International
Eco-city Conference
(2) to enable people who were unable to be in Shenzhen to present their
papers at the Internet Conference.
(3) to distribute the CD widely to all registered participants. There
will be a registration fee to cover costs.
(4) to use e-mailing lists as the primary platform for conducting the
e-discussions. They will be supported further by the web where
additional materials from authors and participants can be made
available.

The final decision on organizing the conference will be announced later
