History of PNGdoctors Internet Group Formed in 2005 using ‘Yahoo Group’. 5 founding members. Idea was to stay in contact with friends. Need for broadening membership recognized. By 2006 membership increased to 15. Current membership >20. Membership is open.

Achievements Initiated first e-mail petition regarding ICT policy in PNG. Registration of online journal in association with VortexPNG Ltd (www.vortexpng.com) Papua New Guinea Journal of Science, Technology & Engineering (ISSN 1993-7687).

Aim & Scope of Journal Aim – to promote the publication of scientific work by graduate students studying in PNG and overseas. Scope – life sciences, physical sciences, technology and engineering Papers must have relevance for PNG and the South Pacific.

Risks of online discussion and publication Legislation? National? International? Ethics of topics discussion. Control or moderator. Emails can be used in court. Misuse and abuse of email privileges. Viruses and worms.

Our Vision For The Future Develop Group’s own website for publishing and sharing information. Establish a Society for PNG Scholars and Professionals to be known as the ‘Papua New Guinea Society for Scholars and Professionals’. Increase membership?

Things to think about! How can you widen your sphere of influence? Do you have a networking strategy? Should you bother to network at all? What current mechanisms are in place to share information? Can we improve or do better? Why bother to share information?
