being considered as a contribution?

I am wondering if there is any desire to have a focus for gaid that is more
scientifically oriented rather than so business oriented.

This would require a different focus than what seems to exist currently.

Several of the current programs I have seen the agenda of appear to
emphasize people from business or entrepreneur oriented
speakers.

I was just part of a very interesting forum in China where we looked at the
impact of the Internet considering the development of netizens and of
Chinese netizens.

Such a program provided a focus why it is important to develop and spread
the Internet.

Also looking at how the Internet was developed and spread and how the
development agenda can learn from the past experience would be a possible
topic for a forum. For example, the beginning of international email in
China was the result of a collaboration between German and Chinese
researchers with help from a program under the World Bank. Looking at such
examples could perhaps help to provide models or ideas for how to continue
to spread the Internet in development situations.

with best wishes

Ronda
