Just a computer with a modem and e-mail software. No, messages will be screened, and no attachments will be allowed. The main language of the conference will be English. Submissions will be accepted in French and Spanish but these will not be translated into the other two languages and posted. The weekly and final summaries will reflect ALL submissions and be available in English, French and Spanish.
All conference organising information, such as the protocol, is available in all three languages.
Multi-lingual moderators will be available throughout the conference to answer any queries. A small team of moderators is in place in London to administer the conference. Their role will be to maintain the list of conference participants, answer queries, and filter incoming messages to ensure they match the conference protocol. Moderators will provide advice to people whose messages are not appropriate. Given the large number of participants wanting to discuss such a lengthy and important document, rules have to be set to make the exchange manageable.
