[WSIS CS-Plenary] LAUNCH of INTERNET GOVERNANCE PROJECT

[mclauglm at po.muohio.edu]

This sounds like a worthwhile project; however, 
respectfully, I would like to suggest that you 
consider diversifying your research team. So far 
as I can judge from the following names, there 
are no women, no persons of color, and no persons 
from the Global South who are involved as central 
figures in your research project.

Thanks,

Lisa McLaughlin

>rules.
