>>Good question. Thanks, Vittorio. I've been sitting here in Ohio,

>>>Hello,
>>>
>>>while I understand the extremely peculiar situation we live in... 
>>>I think that there should be some more circulation of information 
>>>among civil society people here - even if not through the plenary 
>>>list, when appropriate.
>>>
>>>Today the Swiss President speech was apparently censored by the 
>>>Tunisian TV, as well as Ms. Ebadi's one. Her press conference was 
>>>subsequently cancelled and no one here knows why. Civil society 
>>>connectivity from our offices apparently started to misfunction. 
>>>No one knows what's happening with the Citizens' Summit, many of 
>>>us don't even know where to go if they want to attend it.
>>>
>>>We want to be helpful, and at the same time we think we should be 
>>>informed of what goes on about such crucial human rights issues, 
>>>that go well beyond specific parts of the Information Society 
>>>agenda, and should affect also our behaviour in the work of all 
>>>caucuses at this Summit. Please let's find a way to exploit all 
>>>the resources that civil society has.
>>>
>>>Thanks,
