Hi everyone - I'd like to encourage everyone to attend this
conference. As you'll see on the web site, we'll cover many issues
related to internet governance in these two days including the World
Summit on the Information Society, the role of ICANN and the
participation of civil society... as well as issues of secrecy and
surveillance, voting system integrity, anonymity and biometrics.
E-mail me off-list if you have any questions I can help with! I hope
I'll see some of you there. - Frannie
...sorry to all who are receiving this multiple times :)
