As we were discussing WSIS last weekend, some of you might find that this 
fills you in one some of the detail.

Involving Civil Society in ICT Policy: the World Summit on the
Information Society
APC/CRIS, 2003

Access to information and communications technologies (ICTs) is
expanding but the majority of people in developing countries are still
excluded, says APC. At the United Nations’ World Summit on the
Information Society (WSIS), held in Geneva in December, governments will
agree on a declaration and action plan that could enhance or hinder
access to ICTs for the vast majority of the world’s population. APC and
the CRIS Campaign have been following the WSIS process and our
publication – “Involving Civil Society in ICT Policy: the World Summit
on the Information Society” – highlights some of the principal issues at
stake.

==========

"We are not for names, nor men, nor titles of Government, nor are we for
this party nor against the other but we are for justice and mercy and
truth and peace and true freedom, that these may be exalted in our nation,
and that goodness, righteousness, meekness, temperance, peace and unity
with God, and with one another, that these things may abound."
(Edward Burroughs, 1659 - from 'Quaker Faith and Practice')
