The last federal budget referred to volnet, an Industry Canada initiative 
to help the volunteer sector to access and take advantage of the 
internet.  Bernie Hart, David Trueman, and I have ensured that Industry 
Canada knows about CCN and the work we have done to date. We've tried to 
convince them that volnet should build upon the positive things that 
community nets have done rather than develop new (and competing) 
infrastructures.

I met with I.C. staff last week while in Ottawa and found out that they 
have a very ambitious time frame for rolling out their work; beginning 
April 24.  I left the meeting thinking that they (at least *some* of 
their staff) understand and agree with the point that we've been trying 
to make.
