[WSIS CS-Plenary] Commentary piece on WSIS outcomes

[Parminder]

Dear All, 

 

IT for Change had done a commentary piece on WISS outcomes for a leading
socio-economic academic journal in India which can be read at
http://itforchange.net/mambo/content/view/117/1/.The piece addresses a wider
constituency,  which may not have been engaged in WSIS, and mostly not much
aware of it either. So, if I may say so, it is more positive about WSIS and,
generally of an IS discourse, than what we generally say of WSIS for those
within the process. 

 

Regards

 

Parminder

Greetings from New York!

The UN Commission on the Status of Women Annual Forum is one of the highest
profile events on the UN calendar. For the first time in the 50 year history
of the Forum, the UN has requested the private sector to participate. AIT
Global and its co-sponsors are delighted to bring to you this inaugural
conference addressing the importance of IT as a driver of gender equality
around the world.

This special two-day event promises to be among the best attended and most
significant of the year. For the IT community, there has never been such a
high-profile opportunity to address the impact and potential of IT on the
lives of women around the world. Our speakers and attendees will include
many successful women professional who have thrived in the fast-paced
technology industry. This conference is their chance to make a powerful
statement about IT as a key tool for strengthening the role of women as both
business leaders and government policy makers.

networking vehicle for technologists with a global point of view. But they
are also an exciting and memorable personal experience as well, the complete
