               TFI.INTERNAL CONFERENCE EMAIL FEEDS
 
 
 ... A New Private Conference on Indonesia ...
                        
Task Force Indonesia has set up a _private_ store-and-forward conference 
called tfi.internal for its own use.  
 
Portions of tfi.internal may be made available through a gratis 
_email feed_ to cooperating organizations, groups, and individuals.  Others 
may also receive feeds from it on a fee-for-service basis.  This shared 
information will mainly, but not exclusively, consist of current news.  
 
TFI's own project information will continue only to be available to TFI 
members engaged in those projects.
 
tfi.internal is _stored_ on the Digital Express system and may not be 
accessed directly.  Your access to tfi.internal is possible _solely_ through 
these email feeds.  
 
 
 ... You May Need This Material ...
 
For many online, various existing _public_ conferences will carry an adequate 
amount of information.  
 
However, for others seriously interested in Indonesia or East Timor, you may
need the additional material from the tfi.internal conference.
 
 
 ... Use of tfi.internal Email Feeds ...
 
The _supplementary_ material in tfi.internal may only be used in agreed 
ways.  
 
Recipients of tfi.internal material may _not_ disseminate it further 
_electronically_ through cross-posting in other conferences, lists, 
newsgroups, bulletin boards, or emailed announcements or correspondence 
_unless_ specific agreements have been reached.  
 
Breach of these principles will result in immediate termination of the feed.  
 
Typical permitted uses of tfi.internal feeds might include organizational,
group, or individual activist work or research (excluding online mass mailing
to members of an organization or group) and release through organizational 
periodicals (excluding electronic publishing), leaflets, press releases,
and print/broadcast media.
 
 
 ... Arranging a tfi.internal Feed ...
 
To discuss and arrange an email feed, please email apakabar@access.digex.com
(John MacDougall, TFI Coordinator).  Relevant feeds can be quickly arranged 
for organizations, informal groups, and individuals cooperating in some
meaningful and sustained way with Task Force Indonesia.  This cooperation
might take such forms as pursuing minimum common goals, sharing private
information, translating, monitoring media, or coordinating public posting.  
 
Getting a feed should be quite easy for any organization, group, or individual 
willing to make a modest effort at reciprocity.  
 
Others who would like a feed but who for various reasons cannot make such 
an effort may obtain a relevant feed on a negotiated fee-for-service basis.
TFI reserves the right to select recipients of fee-for-service feeds.
 
 
 ... Phasing in the Feeds ...
 
Over the coming weeks, tfi.internal feeds will be _automatically_ set up 
for organizations, groups, and individuals with whom TFI has had some sort 
of formal or informal cooperation.  In these cases, just watch your mailbox.
Some omissions will inadvertently occur, so please be in early email contact 
if there has been mutual aid and cooperation.  
 
Others seeking a feed but who may not fall in this category should email
apakabar@access.digex.com at any convenient opportunity.
 
This is a new TFI project with potential significant benefits for many
with access to Internet resources, but as in all new projects unanticipated 
circumstances may require special handling.  Your patient discussion of these 
through email will be greatly appreciated.
