[WSIS CS-Plenary] suggestion: press strategy list

[mclauglm at po.muohio.edu]

Hi everyone,

I've just received a request from BBC online technology journalist 
Alf Hermida who wishes to be put in touch with some civil society 
contacts to provide information for the news stories that he's going 
to be writing while at the summit. He says that he's already been in 
contact with a few CS representatives through Karen Banks, but he'd 
like to talk to more, prior to and during the summit. Do we have a 
list of CS press focal points that can be made available to him? 
Perhaps contact info for heads of CS families?

This could be a good opportunity to share CS's positions in respect 
to the various issues at stake.

All best,
Lisa
