The following information overview encompasses the type of data that was researched, updated and networked throughout 1999 to Intergovernmental and Corporate Information Officers, grass roots community action programs and media networks in approximately 195 countries to assist contingency planning for the Year 2000 Conversion. Humanitarian Resource Institute served as the leader in this initiative in cooperation with the International Y2K Cooperation Center, the U.S. Senate Special Committee on the Year 2000 Technology Problem and the President's Council on Y2K.  The positive response of the international community to these initiatives has been attributed to the successful Year 2000 Conversion.
