We are launching an electronic dialogue on Monday October 18, 1999. Our first topic covers the controversial issue of international labor standards where we hope to address several questions including: * Should the issue of labor standards be part of the World Trade Organization negotiations? * Does the International Labor Organization have the capacity to generate widely accepted international labor standards? * Given that effective international labor standards require the consent of all interested parties (corporations, workers, international organizations i.e. the WTO and ILO), how can their equitable representation or participation be assured? * Can existing organizations accomplish this, or do we need a new organization? We intend the electronic forum to be a place of free and open dialogue. We welcome you to raise your own topics or questions in the forum. You can even seek advice or help with your research in our researchers' <http://www.globalpublicpolicy.net/ubb/cgi-bin/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topic s&number=6&SUBMIT=Go> bulletin board. For more information about our research projects and upcoming events, visit our web page at www.globalpublicpolicy.net <http://www.globalpublicpolicy.net/> or email us at [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> . Thanks and hope to see you there! The GPP Team
