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 Continue

The new system of governance?

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

Help please??

Does anyone in the Diplo team in Hyderabad also have a Sony Cybershot camera? Do you have your download cable too? Would you be willing to lend it briefly this morning? I have just discovered to my horror that I left my cable at home. I don't have all that many photographs, but I'll be in TERRIBLE TROUBLE with Nikola if I don't give them to him ;-) See you at the booth this morning unless you are in Cyber Service Apartments #1 in which case I'm in Room 512 and will be delighted to hear from you.… Continue
