[WSIS CS-Plenary] [WSIS THETHA] Information Technologies and International Development Quarterly - WSIS

[Eric Muragana]

Subject: Information Technologies and International Development
Quarterly - WSIS

After the first phase of the WSIS (World Summit on the Information Society,
Dec.10-12, 2003 in Geneva), a new initiative has been launched :

Information Technologies and International Development will be the premier
journal in its field, focusing on the intersection of information and
communication technologies (ICT) with international development. It aims to
create a networked community of leading thinkers and strategists to discuss
the critical issues of ICT and development, an epistemic community that
crosses disciplines (especially technologists and social scientists),
national boundaries, and the North and South hemispheres. The audience for
Information Technologies and International Development will come from
academia, the private sector, NGOs, and government.

It will attract readers interested in the "other four billion" - the share
of the world population
whose countries are not yet widely connected to the Internet nor widely
considered in the design of new information technologies. The journal will
be informative, lively, and provocative. The MIT Press will publish this
exciting new quarterly periodical from Fall 2003.
