[WSIS CS-Plenary] Re: suggestion: press strategy list and CS "headquarters"

[Claudia Padovani]

about media strategy:
I agree a list for this woud be useful. I am willing to indicate all those
journalists (and potential writers) from Italy who will attend the summit.
We are trying to get organized for this and will certianly need ways to
connect to the brader press activities, and offer support
ciao
