International Volunteer Corps & Website Will Promote Y2K Readiness

WASHINGTON, DC, USA – The international center created to promote Y2K readiness around the world today launched a volunteer program to provide localities with technical help to ensure a smooth transition to the year 2000. The Center also established an electronic network of over 160 national Y2K coordinators and launched an international Y2K website.

“Y2K highlights how all nations depend on each other for economic life. The Center's ‘YES' volunteer corps and free electronic resource center will help our network of national Y2K coordinators address local, regional, and global aspects of Y2K,” said Bruce W. McConnell, director of the International Y2K Cooperation Center (IY2KCC). “With the cooperation of nations around the world, we're saying ‘yes' to Y2K success.”

McConnell announced the creation of the Y2K Expert Service, the “YES Corps,” an international network of Y2K experts who have volunteered their expertise to help countries in need of technical assistance.

Ken - I recall you mentioning "martialing resources" and "volunteer corps" after that IT industry meeting with Koskinen a while back. Was wondering if this was it.
