Dear Colleagues,

I invite you to visit the new website of global public goods Network (gpgNet) at http://www.gpgNet.net

gpgNet intends to serve researchers, policymakers, business and civil society as a platform for information exchange and discussion on issues concerning the theory, policy design and practice of providing global public goods.

On gpgNet you will find references to research and studies, information on forthcoming events as well as commentaries, policy statements and media reports concerning global public goods issues.

I would like to invite your special attention to the discussion forum. The inaugural debate is on the topic of "What is Public? What is Private?" Please join us for this debate at http://www.gpgnet.net/discussion.php and share with us -and the global public- your observations on this topic.

Your suggestions and feedback on the gpgNet website would be very much appreciated, and can be sent to info@gpgnet.net

Yours sincerely,

Inge Kaul Director Office of Development Studies United Nations Development Programme

Vikas Nath gpgNet.net Manager Policy Analyst, Office of Development Studies United Nations Development Programme 336 East 45 Street New York NY 10017 USA
