Dear Friends in INES,
In last meeting in Riga a project was initiated on ENERGY TECHNOLOGY, see description after the information spacer below. Now, since some months we have our own discussion forum INESTECH and are now asking for participants to join this forum. It is open for all INES members and related individuals interested in the project.
To learn how to subscribe send a message to with HELP in the subject line.
I do hope the 10 individuals developing this project proposal in Riga form the core group and that we get a number additional participants to reach the critical mass needed in any productive discussion. After the Kyoto Climate Conference the need for changes in energy technology and policy is more obvious than ever !

<> INESAP Middle East Project
On 5 March, Martin Kalinowski wrote:
'' We have prepared a new project related to security in the Middle East and with the goal to contribute to steps towards a weapons of mass destruction free zone in that region. Since we are scientists, our approach will be focused on technical means for confidence building. At the present situation nothing more than non-intrusive monitoring can be established.''

Sincerely yours,
