The cost of the day is $15 per person, and luncheon will be served. Panels will Present how their Vermont Communities will Achieve the Following Benefits from using Information Technology and the Internet: economy Return Tourism to Rural Communities Expand Local Businesses Expand Trade among Small Rural Communities and US-wide/ International Markets Involve children as active participants in the fabric of community Education Tie K-12 Education to Practical Use Enable easy, affordable access to lifetime learning Government Revitalize Democratic/Representative Government Process and Effectiveness Advance Local Leadership Skills Improve Cost/Service Efficiency in Operating all Levels of Government Health welfare EBC Reduce Cost/Improve Quality of Education Enable Affordable, Easy Access to Vermont's Internet and NII Capabilities for Everyone Keynote Speaker: Jonathan P. (Jock) Gill, Director of Special Projects, Office of Media Affairs at the White House, with multi-generation Vermont family roots himself, will share how information technology can help rural America rebuild its communities. He will speak to the importance of collaborative approaches at the community and state levels to develop local telecommunications technical and policy infrastructure that enables all citizens to have access and contribute to information and services flowing on the "Information Super Highway". He will give examples of how the use of information technology can solve problems of isolation and poor communication by providing quicker, less costly ways for people to give input to local, state and federal leadership, and get access to information and resources from their communities, states and Washington. He will emphasize that communities containing "a more informed people", who participate more in their democracy, served by "more responsive government" at all levels, will be better prepared and empowered to effectively manage community building at the local level -- an accomplishment essential to advancing and sustaining a powerful democracy today and in the future. Issues that will be raised in the panel sessions include: "How can communities organize to build information sharing infrastructure that provides access for all people and constituencies of users - tech users and non-tech users, rich, average, poor, handicapped, commercial, government, non-profit, etc? * What outcomes will community-use of information technology produce for Vermont? * What does all of this high tech cost? * Where do the costs come from? * Who pays the bill? Where does the money come from? * What telecommunications infrastructure is in place in Vermont today? * Where does infrastructure need work? Do telecommunications policies need to change? * What are my Internet/NII access alternatives? + Where are the public telecommunications access facilities? * What services should they include? * What about the long distance phone charges? * Will rates change? Where is the return on investment for my community and for me? * How does my community get started in setting up its local infrastructure? * How does the community get ongoing technical support? * Where can I go to learn how to operate and use NII technologies?" Audience Participation: If your community is embarking upon establishing local computer bulletin boards, establishing local Internet access, or embracing the use of NII technologies and programs, we hope you will join us and share your accomplishments during the Question, Answer and Comments period built into each presentation and discussion panel session.

Gill June 12, 1994 Director of Special Projects Office of Media Affairs Rm. 170 - Old Executive Office Bldg. Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Jock: To assist you in preparing to attend the "Community-Building with Internet and other NII Technologies" gathering at Ascutney Mountain Resort in Brownsville, Vermont on June 24th, 1 am forwarding the information requested by your assistant, Jennifer Chen. The Vermont Council on Rural Development (VCRD), a state rural development council and part of the President's Initiative on Rural America was established through Dean a cooperative agreement between the USDA-ERS and the office of the Governor in Vermont in 1993. Funding for the VCRD comes from a pooling of discretionary dollars from approximately 17 federal agencies. The United States Dept. of Agriculture is the administering agency. The Collaborative Communities Working Group, which is co-hosting the event in Brownsville, is a sub-committee of the VCRD. The CCWG is totally volunteer run and relies heavily upon in-kind donations of time, goods and services to do their work. For your information, I am enclosing a brief handout on that working group, listing its membership. The VCRD is sponsoring the event by paying for the costs of the facility and subsidizing some of the meal cost. All other support for the event will come from the registration fee of $15 per person. We anticipate approximately 300 people from throughout Vermont. Like the Council, the event is non-partisan and very broad-based in terms of who was invited. Notices of the event have also been sent out to over 40 media sources in Vermont and New York State. The cost of your round-trip airline ticket from Washington, D.C. will be covered by the VCRD. In addition, we will cover your meals and reimburse you for mileage from Boston to Brownsville and return to Boston. Should you wish to have overnight accomodations in Brownsville, we will cover that as well. "When spiderwebs unite, they can tis up a lion" Ethiopton Provede Over the past three months, the Collabortive Communities Working Group has sent representatives to Washington to attend the Americans Communicating Electronically (ACE) meetings to present information on how the Vermont Council on Rural Development, through the CCWG is working to connect all 252 Vermont Communities through electonic bulletin board technology. This effort will enable communities to share information which will help the most rural state in the nation revitalize its communities. Your leadership in ACE and your vast experience with these technologies makes you the ideal individual to offer advice and guidance to those attending this gathering. The vision of the current administration and the vision of Vermont communities will merge during this day in Brownsville. The groundwork has been laid for us to realize our collective vision. We're delighted that you will help us demonstrate to Vermont and the rest of the nation how local citizens and government can pull together to make rural Americans not hitchhikers, but drivers on the telecommunications superhighway. I hope this information is adequate. I am attaching a copy of the announcement, agenda and registration form for the event. This is informational only. You need not return any of the forms. If you have need of any additional information, please do not hesitate to call me. June Sincerely yours, Sharon H. Long Executive Director P.S. VCRD is administered through the State of Vermont Dept of Economic Develo pment COLLABORATIVE COMMUNITIES Vermont Council On Rural Development P.O. Box 1385 Montpeller, Vermont 05602 COLLABORATIVE COMMUNITIES ROLE: This team has been organized in follow-up to input from the VCRD membership at its December 3rd General Membership meeting in Bolton, Vt., that an effort be undertaken to establish ways in which adjacent communities can join to address issues of mutual concern. INITIAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS: I. Gathered information from citizens, rural development practitioners and others on some existing efforts within Vermont Communities to share resources and use collaborative approaches to meeting mutual needs and resolving shared issues. Examples: The Concord Sustainable Communities Project, The Hardwick Leadership Institute and the Economic Incentive Alliance and the Chelsea Community Project through UVM Extension 2. Determined that there was a clear role for the VCRD to bring together a diverse range of partners to assist existing efforts to reach their goals more effectively. 3. Begun the effort of creating an Action Plan which will be developed by local citizens in partnership with others and which will reflect the priorities of the local communities. 4. In early February, Pam Stonier of Economic Incentive Alliance, a member of the Collaborative Communities Working Group, received a call from the White House (Vice President Gore's office). Their work to develop a system of Electronic Bulletin Board linkeages and Support Services to communities throughout Vermont was recently brought to their attention. In early March, the VCRD Executive Director, Exective Director of the Vt. League of Cities and Towns and a local Vermont town official will join Pam in Washington to present the model to memers of Vice President Gore's staff and a group of top level federal officials.

United States Senate MEMORANDUM July 25, 1994 Dear Jock, Thanks for the guided tour through MOSAIC last week. Our in-house computer expert, Paul Mann, is already working with the University of Vermont to develop a MOSAIC Program for Senator Leahy. Enclosed is the summary of Senator Leahy's bill to enhance electronic access to government information under the Freedom of Information Act. Sincerely, Buyl A. Hawell Beryl A. Howell Counsel, Subcommittee on Technology and the Law Date: Mon, 18 Jul 1994 09:48:04 +0000 (GMT) From: Pam Stonier <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: Fall Seminar Jock -- good morning :) After the ACE meeting I met with people from Sen. Leahy's staff and they let me know that he is interested in working with us here at home to put on a fall seminar in Vermont. It will be focused on the Vermont State Legislature and members of local municipal govt across the state. Seminar is for the purpose of educating them about issues and ways that solutions can be arrived at if we are to solve disparity of access to NII from our local communities. He perceives that local leadership needs such educating if it is going to launch Vermont into widespread use of info tech and accelerate economic, educ, health care strength and growth at the local level. I have given them the ACE vision statement, your name and White House phone number. Senator Leahy's internet address is [email protected] and his contact person focusing on NII issues is Ms. Beryl Howell, Counsel, 815 Hart Bldg, Subcommittee on Technology and the Law, 224-3406, should you want to contact them yourself and spark them on. Would like you to be part a of this seminar. They are considering the end of October. FYI, we are doing a major seminar here again in Nov. (mid) focused on Internet and Your Business, so November will not be a good time. Last week of October looks like the best time.

Gill June 12, 1994 Director of Special Projects Office of Media Affairs Rm. 170 - Old Executive Office Bldg. Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Jock: To assist you in preparing to attend the "Community-Building with Internet and other NII Technologies" gathering at Ascutney Mountain Resort in Brownsville, Vermont on June 24th, I am forwarding the information requested by your assistant, Jennifer Chen. The Vermont Council on Rural Development (VCRD), a state rural development council and part of the President's Initiative on Rural America was established through a cooperative agreement between the USDA-ERS and the office of the Governor in Vermont in 1993. Funding for the VCRD comes from a pooling of discretionary dollars from approximately 17 federal agencies. The United States Dept. of Agriculture is the administering agency. The Collaborative Communities Working Group, which is co-hosting the event in Brownsville, is a sub-committee of the VCRD. The CCWG is totally volunteer run and relies heavily upon in-kind donations of time, goods and services to do their work. For your information, I am enclosing a brief handout on that working group, listing its membership. The VCRD is sponsoring the event by paying for the costs of the facility and subsidizing some of the meal cost. All other support for the event will come from the registration fee of $15 per person. We anticipate approximately 300 people from throughout Vermont. Like the Council, the event is non-partisan and very broad-based in terms of who was invited. Notices of the event have also been sent out to over 40 media sources in Vermont and New York State. The cost of your round-trip airline ticket from Washington, D.C. will be covered by the VCRD. In addition, we will cover your meals and reimburse you for mileage from Boston to Brownsville and return to Boston. Should you wish to have overnight accomodations in Brownsville, we will cover that as well.

Box 1385 Montpelier, Vermont 05602 COLLABORATIVE COMMUNITIES ROLE: This team has been organized in follow-up to input from the VCRD membership at its December 3rd General Membership meeting in Bolton, Vt., that an effort be undertaken to establish ways in which adjacent communities can join to address issues of mutual concern. INITIAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS: I. Gathered information from citizens, rural development practitioners and others on some existing efforts within Vermont Communities to share resources and use collaborative approaches to meeting mutual needs and resolving shared issues. Examples: The Concord Sustainable Communities Project, The Hardwick Leadership Institute and the Economic Incentive Alliance and the Chelsea Community Project through UVM Extension 2. Determined that there was a clear role for the VCRD to bring together a diverse range of partners to assist existing efforts to reach their goals more effectively. 3. Begun the effort of creating an Action Plan which will be developed by local citizens in partnership with others and which will reflect the priorities of the local communities. 4. In early February, Pam Stonier of Economic Incentive Alliance, a member of the Collaborative Communities Working Group, received a call from the White House (Vice President Gore's office). Their work to develop a system of Electronic Bulletin Board linkeages and Support Services to communities throughout Vermont was recently brought to their attention. In early March, the VCRD Executive Director, Exective Director of the Vt. League of Cities and Towns and a local Vermont town official will join Pam in Washington to present the model to memers of Vice President Gore's staff and a group of top level federal officials.

The cost of the day is $15 per person, and luncheon will be served. Panels will Present how their Vermont Communities will Achieve the Following Benefits from using Information Technology and the Internet: Return Tourism to Rural Communities Expand Local Businesses Expand Trade among Small Rural Communities and US-wide/ International Markets Involve children as active participants in the fabric of community Tie K-12 Education to Practical Use Enable easy, affordable access to lifetime learning Revitalize Democratic/Representative Government Process and Effectiveness Advance Local Leadership Skills Improve Cost/Service Efficiency in Operating all Levels of Government Reduce Cost/Improve Quality of Education Enable Affordable, Easy Access to Vermont's Internet and NII Capabilities for Everyone Keynote Speaker: Jonathan P. (Jock) Gill, Director of Special Projects, Office of Media Affairs at the White House, with multi-generation Vermont family roots himself, will share how information technology can help rural America rebuild its communities. He will speak to the importance of collaborative approaches at the community and state levels to develop local telecommunications technical and policy infrastructure that enables all citizens to have access and contribute to information and services flowing on the "Information Super Highway". He will give examples of how the use of information technology can solve problems of isolation and poor communication by providing quicker, less costly ways for people to give input to local, state and federal leadership, and get access to information and resources from their communities, states and Washington. He will emphasize that communities containing "a more informed people", who participate more in their democracy, served by "more responsive government" at all levels, will be better prepared and empowered to effectively manage community building at the local level -- an accomplishment essential to advancing and sustaining a powerful democracy today and in the future. Issues that will be raised in the panel sessions include: "How can communities organize to build information sharing infrastructure that provides access for all people and constituencies of users - tech users and non-tech users, rich, average, poor, handicapped, commercial, government, non-profit, etc? * What outcomes will community-use of information technology produce for Vermont? * What does all of this high tech cost? * Where do the costs come from? * Who pays the bill? * Where does the money come from? * What telecommunications infrastructure is in place in Vermont today? * Where does infrastructure need work? Do telecommunications policies need to change? * What are my Internet/NII access alternatives? * Where are the public telecommunications access facilities? * What services should they include? * What about the long distance phone charges? * Will rates change? * Where is the return on investment for my community and for me? * How does my community get started in setting up its local infrastructure? * How does the community get ongoing technical support? * Where can I go to learn how to operate and use NII technologies?" Audience Participation: If your community is embarking upon establishing local computer bulletin boards, establishing local Internet access, or embracing the use of NII technologies and programs, we hope you will join us and share your accomplishments during the Question, Answer and Comments period built into each presentation and discussion panel session.

The Collaborative Communities Work Group on Telecommunications is a volunteer sub-group of the Vermont Council on Rural Development. Its purpose is to unite communities and all constituency groups who have a vested interest in advancing Vermont's telecommunications infrastructure and access services. The enclosed offers information about some steps being taken towards enabling our communities to prepare for greater use of information and telecommunications technology in our businesses, schools, government and at home. This package includes: 1. Follow-Up to June 24 Ascutney Event 2. Pre-Announcement of a November 14-15 UVM Internet Conference 3. Joint Information Technology Oversight Committee Sept. 7 Meeting Agenda 4. Resource List of Participants at the Ascutney Event/Persons Interested in Telecom in Vermont Over 95% of the people listed on the Resource List have either participated in helping the Work Group or attended the June 24th Event. If your name appears, and you have not previously participated in one of the Work Group activities, you have been added for information-sharing purposes, with the hope that active participation will be of interest to you. The Resource List will soon be posted to our online bulletin board (to soon be announced in a separate mailing). Please notify us of corrections. It would be useful if you could submit one or two paragraphs about yourself, including particular telecom issues you would like to help resolve, and how you would like to contribute to this exciting task. This information will help people find other people with common concerns and complimentary expertise to collaborate statewide on issues affecting the advancement of telecom in our state. Such collaboration will put an efficiency into our democracy to help us arrive at optimum solutions in less time. The Follow-Up document enclosed includes a CCWG on Telecommunications membership form. We hope you will sign up and return it. Looking forward to your participation in this Work Group.

Do we need a statewide economic impact study of the arts on Vermont? 2. Should more effort be put into identifying, restoring, using and maintaining Vermont's historic cultural facilities? 3. How can transportation options for the elderly and challenged to cultural events and facilities be improved? 4. What is the right way to develop cultural tourism efforts in Vermont? 5. Should utilitity companies provide relief for major cultural facilities? An exploration of these and other issues will result in a very focused plan of action, starting in June 1994, following a day-long arts and the economy summit in Montpelier. A partial list of the individuals and groups who have participated in this effort are listed on the back of this sheet.
