[G8] Wexler: 'The G8 group is now also part of the Y2k hypists' OK, Bill Wexler did not state this... but he should; when one compares his statements from the header of this thread with the G8-communique of this weekend. John ________ << First, we have Mr. De Jager giving Y2K seminars to anyone who will listen. Not coincidentally, many of these seminars are sponsored by Data-Dimensions.a Y2K consulting firm. Mr. De Jager boasts that he is a credible "expert" on the subject because he also sat in front of Congressional committee to give a 30 second speech about his year 2000 computer doomsday hallucination. >> Well it is interesting to compare this statement of Mr. Wexler with the statement of the G8 group of industrial nations: '25. The Year 2000 (or Millennium) Bug problem, deriving from the way computers deal with the change to the year 2000, presents major challenges to the international community, with vast implications, in particular in the defence, transport, telecommunications, financial services, energy and environmental sectors, and we noted the vital dependence of some sectors on others. We agreed to take further urgent action and to share information, among ourselves and with others, that will assist in preventing disruption in the near and longer term. We shall work closely with business and organisations working in those sectors, who will bear much of the responsibility to address the problem. We will work together in international organisations, such as the World Bank to assist developing countries, and the OECD, to help solve this critical technological problem and prepare for the year 2000.
