                Building Best
                  Practice in Providing Email Connectivity 
                   
                  This implies investments in appropriate technologies and
                  methodologies towards its transfer to rural partners: through
                  installation services, training, apprenticeship, mentoring,
                  and post-installation services. 
                   
                  This is dependent on the replication of physical centers in
                  various rural communities with a network of computers enabled
                  with Internet email access, adapting to specific and localized
                  conditions and drawing out the communities' creative and
                  varied response in harnessing new technology to improve their
                  lives. 
                   
                   
                   
                  Developing Strategic Partnerships 
                   
                  Instead of reinventing the wheel, strategic partnerships with
                  rural area-based organizations, shall be established to
                  promote the use of Internet email as a tool to more quickly
                  access information relevant to their lives.  
                   
                  Partnerships also include tying up with those individuals and
                  companies with the resources and capabilities to faster
                  provide the free service to targeted rural areas.  
                   
                   
                   
                  Sustaining Connectivity through Community Ownership 
                   
                  Local partner organizations of the PH Domain Foundation in
                  project sites may be a non-government organization (NGO), a
                  people's organization (PO), and educational, religious, media
                  institution, and/or civic organization that shall maintain and
                  sustain the free email connectivity project towards the
                  long-term goal of the rural community developing the full
                  capacity to manage and own it.
