Dear Mr. Culpin,

I am writing to you in regard with the Telework Awards 2000 of the European Commission.

Referring to the information you already received from Mrs. Kitty de Bruin of the Nederlands Telewerk Forum, I would like to take this opportunity to present our publication Telewerken; Journal for Modern Organisation Forms to you.

Since the start in 1994, the publication covers all aspects of telework and the related changes and developments in technology, organisation, economic and societal circumstances, both organisational and individuals, politics and the law.

The journal has a solid and growing audience of those in the Netherlands who are professionally interested in the field of flexibilisation and mobilisation of office work, which the journal regards as but one, though major, aspect of changes in (our view on) work, the organisation of work and the importance of work in the information society.

Researchers from the major academic institutes, both inside and outside the Netherlands are known to have published in Telewerken, which in turn serves as a major source of information for newcomers in the field, students and professionals, as well as more experienced managers and workers in today's electronic work environment.

As publisher we participate in the Nederlands Telewerk Forum, the Dutch national platform with participants among facilitators, suppliers and the government. The journal serves as an information carrier for the Newsletter of this organisation.

Since 1997 Mr. Victor de Pous is the editor-in-chief. As co-founder of the International Telework Foundation ITF (a non-profit, non-governmental organization, which stimulates academic research in the field of telework, virtual organizations and e-business) and as a 20 year specialist in the field of legal aspects of computers and telecommunication, he has access to a wide, international knowledge-network, which serves to guarantee the high level and high quality content of our journal. Also, Mr. De Pous is a senior researcher for the Anton Dreesmann Institute of the University of Amsterdam and he reported on telework for the Dutch Department of Traffic and Water Management, the Nederlands Telewerk Forum, as well as the European Commission.
