 '''Summarize your organisation’s goals, objectives and mission statement'''
 
+We are a membership organization comprised of about 400 progressive organizations and individuals who individually use the Internet for their political work and activities and collectively pool our resources to provide ourselves quality web hosting, email and other Internet tools. We do this because we understand the Internet as critical to the movement for social change internationally and as an arena of struggle in which the progressive movement already plays a critical role which must be expanded.
+
+We want to preserve the open quality of the Internet, expand its usefulness and use by the progressive movements internationally, build tools that will make it ever more effective for our movements, expand its use as a vehicle for truth and truthful analysis and expand our impact on it. 
+
 '''Indicate the geographical scope of your work: local, national, regional, continental, international, etc.'''

+International. Although most of our work is in the United States we have been very active internationally around the Social Forum movement. We have worked on the technology for several forums, including the WSF in Belem last year and have participated in many offering our Collaborative Democracy workshop.
+
+We are currently building the International Techie Organization and organization the Techie Congresses at Forums world-wide.
