Forwarded with permission of Jim Hake at Access Media, which is 
sponsoring this.

I thought that the public interest groups and nonprofits that 
subscribe to this list ought to be aware of this program, inasmuch 
as those groups should be likely candidates for awards that 
"recognize innovatives uses and applications of the  information 
infrastructure" especially in health care, education and community 
service.

For more information or to comment, please contact Jim directly at 
0005864331@mcimail.com.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As part of the Infostructure Campaign, we will be creating the NII 
Awards to recognize innovatives uses and applications of the 
information infrastructure.  

We see 5 primary Award categories:
- Business
- Government
- Health Care
- Education
- Community Service

It is likely an award would be given in each category to:
a) text based applications, and
b) multimedia applications

There will be a major national pre-Awards campaign that will make a 
"call for entries" and a follow up campaign to publicize the success
 stories and applications and provide tools (e.g, "cookbooks") re: 
how they did that.

We will be working with a number of organizations to create and 
select the Awards.  Please provide any thoughts, comments or 
suggestions you may have on this.

thanks
Jim Hake
