Re: Invitation letter - UNESCO WSIS Thematic Meeting, Bamako, 6-7 may 2005

I am forwarding this to MISTICA to open discussion further on why online
meetings would be a benefit fiscally, and to further discuss what would be
required of software and hardware to make such a meeting possible.

Indeed, MISTICA is a project which meets the theme of the meeting.
