The online newsletter, Ecovillages, that I've been working on for so

many months has just been born.

Please see:

http://www.ecovillagenews.org

I hope you enjoy it!

I can subscribe you from here, or you can click the "Subscribe"  
button below the photo banner.

In either case, it will send you an email saying "click here to  
subscribe," and so just click. That makes it official, as your  
sending an email back will allow the newsletter to reach you every  
time it comes out, without being stopped by your spam filter.

Thank you so much again for agreeing to be an Advisor. This is so  
exciting!

Diana

Subject: [CEN] Bill introduced to modernise unit titles law

This might be of interest for ecovillages:

Bill introduced to modernise unit titles law
29/05/08-A bill to help apartment owners and bodies corporate to manage
their property more effectively was introduced to Parliament today by
Building and Construction Minister Shane Jones. The Unit Titles Bill will
bring existing legislation up-to-date and clarify the rights and
responsibilities for both unit title owners and bodies corporate. Current
legislation dates back to 1972 and no longer meets the requirements of
modern apartment ownership, Mr Jones said.  "The changes proposed will bring
the legislation into the 21st century.   The Unit Titles Act has not been
reviewed since the 1970s and this has created a range of problems for people
in unit title developments," he said.

A new newsletter you might want to subscribe to:






Issue No: 1
Welcome to the first issue

ecoNet is LIVE!!

Welcome to the inaugural issue of ecoNet? a weekly electronic
information and up-coming events diary. Activities and information about
the environment and sustainability will updated and published each
Friday.  Local plans, policies or strategies relating to the environment
and sustainability issues open for public consultation will be listed
and there will be links to other sites or information of interest.

Since the Christchurch Environment Centre's weekly ECOWEB stopped
arriving in our in-boxes a few years ago, many people have commented on
the hole it left. Without it, it has been harder to know about events,
activities and consultations relating to the environment and
sustainability, and there has been no 'one-stop' shop for community
groups and individuals to advertise their events. The NZ Association for
 Environmental Education, Christchurch Branch, (NZAEE) is now sponsoring
ecoNet and hopes it will go some way towards filling these needs.

Who are we?
NZAEE is a non-profit, national organisation of people working to
promote and support environmental education, lifelong learning and
sustainable behaviour throughout New Zealand/Aotearoa.

Using ecoNet
It's easy. Just send in to the editor the information about an event,
activity or consultation you want to share and it will go in the next
ecoNet.
If you know anyone that may be interested to be added to the
distribution list, please forward this on to them.

We look forward to hearing from you in the future.

Phillipa Gardner
Chair, NZAEE ? Christchurch Branch

Subject: [CEN] The future of the CEN mailing list
Message-ID: <48536662.5080902@gmail.com>

Hi all,
CEN has now existed for a few years, mainly as a mailing list, with 
currently 95 subscribers, mostly in Christchurch and Canterbury. The 
list is hosted by a friend of mine, Les Squires, for free. Due to 
technical issues, we need to update our list and move the hosting 
elsewhere.  We have now an opportunity to adapt our list and to further 
develop our platform.

I'd like to open a discussion here and like to call on your input as to 
how to continue CEN! There are different options:
- move the whole discussion list to Google and open a Google Group
- create a social networking site, similar to this one: 
http://nztransitiontowns.ning.com

There might be more options and ideas. Please let me know. Maybe there 
is someone who like to step forward and continue with the running (and 
hosting) of the CEN mailing list?

Best regards,
Christoph
