World Summit on the Information Society

WSIS is underway in Tunis, Tunisia. The big discussion is over the governance of the internet. Check out the live webcast. I see alot of government officials and Jean-Philippe Courtois, the president of Microsoft International, but there’s nobody on the slate from activist and non-profit organizations interested in open access, lessening the digital divide etc. hmmmm.
