QUEERPLANET is a list devoted to organizing and networking among the 
international l/g/b/t/o communities. It will be a means to foster communication
in an inexpensive matter between lgb activists,organizations and individuals
all over the world in order to make the planet a queer one.

QUEERPLANET is not intended to be a general discussion mailing list. It has
a specific focus on topics of interest and importance in particular to
worldwide lgb organizing, namely

(i) the state of gay/lesbian/bisexual life around the world

(ii) Obtaining lgb contacts (online or otherwise) in as many countries
worldwide as possible

(iii) Organizing to improve nondiscrimination on the basis of sexual orientation
worldwide 

(iv) Improving interaction between the international queer organisations
ILGA, LGHRC, IGLYO and AIMLGC and local groups and activists (and themselves).

(v) Immigration issues as they affect queers of all countries

(vi) Dealing with the worldwide nature of the AIDS pandemic

Of course these will not be the only topics to be discussed but should serve as
some kind of framework to guide discussion on the list. Another main reason for
the existence of the list is to create an online space that is not dominated
by events/people in the US and most importantly to foster networking between 
individuals and organizations interested in a Queer Planet.
