[WSIS CS-Plenary] polimedia Lab

[Beatriz Busaniche]

Thank you Valerie for this information.
I guess, as we said in Geneva during prepcom 3, that it's necesary to make
contact with these initiatives from civil society. I think that maybe we
could make some strategies together.

Could we do something like that?

As all of you know, the meeting of november is confirmed so we have to start
making plans and strategies for that also. 

Regards
Beatriz

> will be a temporary space of experimentation and confrontation for 
> alternative and grassroots communication projects.
> It will serve as a platform to develop and experiment with horizontal
> communication, to share experiences and knowledge, to create networks of
> alternative communication projects,and present an alternative vision of
> information society.
