‘Whose Summit? Whose Information Society?’ – An investigation of developing country and civil society experience in the World Summit on the Information Society

It was 4:30 am on Monday morning. I caught a flight to Barbados to connect with another Liat Flight to Curacao via Trinidad.
We flew to Trinidad, but had to turn back to Grenada after being advised that the airport was closed.
So we spent the day in Grenada awaiting the opening of the airport in TT.
When we did actually get to land in TT however, the flight to Curacao was cancelled and we were shunted to a local hotel for the night.

The local news in Trinidad carried an interesting story about a call for a public enquiry into contractors hired to maintain the runway!!

This blog has been sadly neglected because Rudi Daniel was off to the 29th International Public ICANN Meeting in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
It was a wonderful opportunity to see first hand the workings of ICANN and Internet Governance in action.
ICANN made it all happen via its Fellowship programme. I urge others to visit the ICANN site for more details on the next round.
Whilst there I was also fortunate to meet with most of the caribbean's country code managers and Top Level representation from the CTU.

AN INNOVATIVE OPPORTUNITY

“Many curry favor with a ruler; and everyone is the friend of a man who gives gifts.” - Proverbs 19:6

The “Conference on the Caribbean – A 20/20 Vision” is the result of a series of meetings between officials from both the US and CARICOM. Its main purpose is to strengthen the existing relationship between the United States and the Caribbean Community, to develop a vision of the future relationship between the two, and to focus on the way forward to achieve the various developmental objectives for the Caribbean.

There is also a tendency globally to talk about the train and the
contents without thinking about the railway itself. The reality is
both are linked and a well designed and run railway will enable
better trains and cargo. The two must be woven together when thinking
about the Internet and all its applications. It's great to see the
region taking this challenge on board.

"The Caribbean lags far behind the developed world in the area of information technology partly because many of our professionals, businesspersons and leaders are stuck in traditional-assumption cages,"

This book examines the political and developmental implications of the new information and communication technologies (NICT) in the Third World. Whereas the concept of the 'digital divide' tends to focus on technological and quantitative indicators, this work stresses the crucial role played by the political regime type, the pursued development model and the specific configuration of actors and decision-making dynamics.
