In which ways the capacity building provided by Diplo has helped you and your community in Internet governance issues? (Question only for IGCBP Alumni)
It has strengthened my resolve to push for ICT Education and the Empowerment of Women and Youth in the grassroots community in my country. Most of the social and political issues are always intertwined and we have different players in that sphere working for different causes but not knowing that all theses players and stakeholders are working on the "common good." Hence, I am all for open access to learning because it opens doors for further education and innovative courses in higher learning that would allow Filipinos to understand the concept of "real involvement." Innovative ideas become irrelevant when threaded in politics. If we open doors to innovation, then it would stop mediocrity that is flourishing in most developing countries. Issues are here because it needs people to get involved and through IG, something has been done in this era.

Regulatory Environment for E-commerce? IGCBP10 MENA L Group Shares These Opinions

Participants from the MENA L Group of the IGCBP10 shared their thoughts on e-commerce, particularly on regulatory frameworks. One said that there are no such clear regulations because it is not widespread in their region. People would prefer physical exchange of cash-for-items rather than shopping online and then paying online. Although the concept of e-banking is slowly maturing, many peop

MENA L Week 5 highlights: priorty areas on legislation and personal pirating..anyone?

The MENA L group had some interesting thoughts for Week 5 on priority areas on legislation; and personal pirating. On priority areas, one participant simply wanted to add child abuse and pornography as a priority area, and with heavier penalties. At this point, I added a link on "Internet Crimes Against Children" from the US Department of Justice, Office of JusticeContinue

Hi Cha, ISOC.PH just rejuvenated. If you can see in the www.isoc.ph, I'm there now as part of the board. We just had the nomination and election of officers among members who wish to rejuvenate it. You can email rejuvenate@isoc.ph for membership. It would be good to have you in. :)

No problem... you seem very busy there. I'm proud that you're with Diplo now carrying our flag. Hope others can make well too. My experience was not good during the second phase of our Diplo IGCBP unfortunately. The group was not able to deliver as expected. I got pulled in the process. Anyway... would be good to participate again in the discussion.

Hey charity, thanks for your comment and Happy New Year! You have a lot of things going on in your page. :) I hope 2009 will be another blessed year for you.

Regarding your inquiry, PSITE has chapters in every region. What region do you belong? It is open to all IT educators/enthusiasts. There are two types of membership. Individual at P500/year and Institutional at P2000/year. The national convention is set this February in Dakak. It will be a good opportunity to become a member. Current PSITE president is Dr. Jimmy Caro and secretary is Gracie Tyler. You can reach her at graceftyler_spcf@yahoo.com. She can help direct you to the proper PSITE chapter. Good Luck!

if you leave the event as it is, tomorrow it will disappear from the listing (though it will still be in the database) - I would suggest that you edit it, putting the event with the date of the deadline for the applications

Hi there. I looked at KFC but opted for Hard Rock Cafe. At least it had tables to sit at. KFC drink machine wasn't working when I was there.

I looked at the KFC at the airport but opted for the Hard Rock cafe cos they had chairs and a table. I commented on this at the kiosk asking for feedback about the Airport. Glad we were able to share time together after the forum. Wish I'd had more money when we were shopping. C'est la vie.

Hi there. I looked at the KFC but their drink machine wasn't working and I didn't think that I could eat the meal without a drink, so I opted for a burger and a drink at a comfortable table at the Hard Rock cafe. It was very nice. I spent a bit on my card at the shops though. Interestingly although I had to wait for nearly 3 hours for the flight the time went by quite quickly. Did you fill in the questionnaire at the kiosk? I did. Told them that the chairs weren't comfortable to sit on for 3 hours and there weren't enough tables to work on a computer if you were trying to get some work done. But the toilets were clean and tidy (had something positive to say too!) Glad we were able to find some free time together. I enjoyed our shopping spree. Wish I'd had more money.
