[WSIS CS-Plenary] Live Webcast today: A Tour of the Digital Divide Network

[Andy Carvin]

Hi everyone,

You are cordially invited for a live webcast tour of the new Digital
Divide Network website (http://www.digitaldivide.net) today at 12pm 
Eastern US time (17:00 GMT). I'll be conducting the tour. I'll take you 
on a virtual walk through the website, using  streaming audio and live 
Web conferencing. The event is free and open to the public. Attendees 
should register in advance, because space is limited. The tour will be 
conducted in English.

The new DDN website was launched yesterday. It features free blogging, 
bulletin boards, publishing tools and articles. Users can even set up 
their own online workspace; for example, I've set up a workspace for the 
Telecentres caucus. (http://www.digitaldivide.net/community/telecentres)

rooms listed, as they'll all be part of the conference. Then click the

We recommend that you go to the website at least 30 minutes prior to the
