[huridocs-tech] WSIS: Summary of discussions in Information Society forum

Dear Friends,
 
The summaries of discussions on the first topic of Knowledge
Societies in our online discussion forum 'Information Society:
Voices from the South' are available now on the Web. 

The discussions in this forum, being run by Digital Opportunity
Channel in partnership with Bytes for All, began May 15, 2003 under
the theme of  'Information Society: What does it mean for the
South?' 

This discussion, which continued for over a month, was then split
into three sub-topics: 
Should ICT be always associated with Information Society? 
Information society for grassroots development: Who takes the most
important role (of the information intermediaries)? 
Indigenous knowledge and information for local needs: How to
collect, process and deliver that?

You can read the summary of the discussions over the main theme at

You can find links to the summaries of the sub-topics from therein.
