Hi there NCNer! My name is Michael Johnson, mjohnson@america.net
I am organizing NCN-TAS specifically for NCNers who travel frequently, and
for those who might be in an emergency situation and need some help with
accomidations in a strange city or region.
NCN-TAS is:
-FREE to join
-Requires no dues or other payments.
-A way of sponsoring communuity between members.
WHAT DOES NCN REQUIRE OF YOU?
- In order to be part of NCN-TAS, you must be willing to share your
living space for at least one (1) night with an NCN-TAS member who
is travelling. It is NOT mandatory to have guests, but if you make
the offer you should be sure you can live up to it. (Ask your spouse
or roommates first!)
- Thats it!
HOW DO YOU JOIN?
- send:
Email address
Name
Physical address
Country
Phone numbers
Other people in the household (optional)
How long a TAS member can stay
How long beforehand you need to be contacted:
(include normal visit length and "if an emergency"
many need a day or two notice, and allow emergencies
minimal notice.)
send all this to:
WHEN AM I A MEMBER?
- As soon as you send your info.
- In about a week you will be sent a card identifying you
to other NCNers... be sure to show them the card when you arrive.
this allows for some security in the TAS and lets them know you're
not too picky about your accomodations (the floor might just be
where you can stay!)
- You will also be emailed (or sent by post if you request it) a
NCN-TAS Guide*. Much like the Hitchhiker's guide, it lists
contact points through-out the world, and has general maps
of their location.
*- at present the guide will be emailed to you, when enough members join to
make this rather thick, one will be sent to you via post. A printed guide
may have additional printing costs.
SERVICES WE ARE LOOKING INTO:
- discounts for travellers (airfare,etc.) Please send info if you
have any.
- calling cards (I found some for 10 cents a minute in the US)
Thankyou.
