[rts] Au revoir

[econf-ifrtd at gn.apc.org]

Dear all,

The email discussion on rural transport services and on the paper “On 
the move in rural areas” by Paul Starkey, John Hine, Simon Ellis and 
Anna Ternell (renamed “ Improving rural mobility: options for 
developing motorised and non-motorised transport”) is now officially 
closed.  

The aim of the email discussion was to open up the debate on rural 
transport services so that it would generate different views and 
perspective as well as stimulate a greater number of transport and 
development professionals to consider, and act on, some of the issues 
raised.  We thank you for participating in this discussion and hope that it 
has had benefits for each one of you.  

We would greatly appreciate it if you would please answer the following 
short questionnaire and send it to us at econf-ifrtd at gn.apc.org.  This 
will help us to evaluate the usefulness of the email discussion and to 
know what to consider when designing future initiatives. 

RTS EMAIL DISCUSSION EVALUATION QUESTIONNAIRE

Did participation in the email discussion  add value to your work?  If 
    yes, how?
Do  you have any plans for using the ideas from the discussion/in 
    the paper,  in your work?  If yes, please tell us what they are.
Did you have any difficulties in participating in the list?  Do you 
    have any suggestions that may help improve participation?
Do  you think an email discussion is an useful tool for generating 
    wider debate on rural transport issues?  Are there any other tools 
    you would like to recommend we use? 
Do  you wish to be informed of any future email discussions that will 
    be organised by the IFRTD Secretariat on issues relating  to rural 
    transport?

The report of the dissemination workshop is being finalised and will be 
sent to you in the next couple of days.  After that we will ‘unsubscribe’ 
you from the list.  If you have answered ‘yes’ to the last question we will 
invite you to future discussions that we may organise.  

Meanwhile, do remember that there is an open email discussion forum for 
sharing information, initiating and participating in debates on rural 
transport issues.  This is the rural-transport-development list at 
jiscmail.ac.uk (it was formerly at mailbase.ac.uk ).   You will find details on 
how to join this list at the end of this email (If you are already a 
subscriber when it was hosted by mailbase, you don’t need to re-join). 

Once again, many thanks for your time and for your interest in the rural 
transport services discussion.

Best wishes
