>active in media and communication, public service media, and two key UN
>agencies involved in the WSIS: the ITU and UNESCO. Participants came
>from Latin America, North America, Africa, Asia and Europe.

>smaller issue-based groups to explore options in more depth. The second
>morning, at which the ITU and UNESCO were more fully represented, was
>devoted to presenting the conclusions and initiating a debate between
>participants. The way forward was also considered.
>The event is described in more detail in the report. The agenda,
>participant list, presentations, and other reports are available on the
>site.
>The seminar took place November 19 and 20, 2001 in Geneva and was
>jointly organised by the Platform for Communication Rights and the
>Geneva office of the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung.
