Profile Information
- Did you take the Internet Governance Capacity Building Programme - IGCBP from DiploFoundation? If so, in which year? Who was tutoring you?
- 2008; Marsha, Adela, Carolina, Hanane
- Where did you ¨discover¨ this Community portal?
- Seiiti invited me to join
- What are you currently doing today and projects you have related to Internet governance?
- Today I am teaching King Lear and an introduction to poetry, also assisting with planning towards my college's transition to degree granting status. IG projects: there is a CIVIC meeting coming up in November where I hope, with support from Javier from Colombia, another IGCBP person, to make a case for active inclusion of linguistic diversity in the Caribbean region. In St Lucia I have been/am involved with two issues: the scrutiny of several proposed pieces of "internet" legislation; and we are still trying to get set up a St Lucia Chapter of the Internet Society.
- In which ways the capacity building provided by Diplo has helped you and your community in Internet governance issues? (Question only for IGCBP Alumni)
- Diplo taught me and I have tried to pass on the teaching, or at least an awareness of the issues of Internet governance, and of its importance even in our little island. Hopefully the institution where I work will actually be working on a project with Diplo in the near future.
- Please list the names of organizations you are a member of, including hyperlinks for more information when possible.
- CIVIC Caribbean ICT stakeholders community http://carisnet.org/
MISTICA (dormant) http://www.funredes.org/mistica/ - many useful resources in the cyberlibrary

UN development agenda
This came from Bytesforall this morning.
Since development is an important, if somewhat neglected, aspect of Internet governance, and since the ITU is cited as the "elder statesman" of development agencies, it seems a good idea to at least have a look at this survey.

Newcomers from Saint Lucia
Several of the students from the Sir Arthur Lewis Community College (SALCC) where I teach have expressed an interest in Internet governance issues. I recommended that they should join the Diplo ning because it would be a good place to learn more. Please make them feel welcome and help them if they have questions. So far I think we have Meghan and Orrisha but I believe there are more to come. My colleague Monique is also here now. So soon we will need an SALCC Group :-)
Best wishes to all
Deirdre

Biodiversity and Internet Governance
Seiiti has given me the impression (I wonder how? ;-) ) that he likes odd ideas. This is a VERY odd idea that has just popped up out of a skype with Ginger, and the proofreading of my husband’s paper on Biodiversity – WHICH HAS TO BE SUBMITTED TOMORROW!
From my perspective the most urgent issue about Internet Governance is that, for most of the people of the world whose lives will be affected by it to a greater or lesser extent, it is simply a non-issue – don’t know, don’t care, can’t be bother… Continue

The new system of governance?
I would like to tell you a story.
Once upon a time, a very long time ago, when I was just a little girl and the internet hadn’t been invented yet, my friend Michael and I were fascinated by the idea of space. Space hadn’t really been invented yet either, so for us in our small country primary school it was a place where anything could be possible. This story begins such an unimaginably long time ago that it even pre-dates television. We listened to the wireless – it hadn’t evolved into the radi… Continue
