Se me olvido decir el contexto en el cual se expres�
Garth Graham.

Hay una discusi�n interesante en la lista GCNP que se di�
a partir de la pregunta de Steve Cisler a los miembros
de GCNP de informar sobre sus actividades en relaci�n
con el WSIS.

En repuesta Funredes informa de sus planes (en relaci�n,
todos con MISTICA) y Garth responde luego.

>1- A document collectively produced by MISTICA on "Working the Internet
>with a Social Vision" which represents a simple and clear expression of
>our vision which is written in a way understandable by non professionals.
>It is ready and can be retrieved in:
>http://funredes.org/mistica/english/cyberlibrary/thematic/eng_doc_olist2.html

>2- A multi-media to present the result of a collective thinking in MISTICA
>about the Information Society we dream (in fact we rather use the expression
>"Shared Knowledge Society" which sounds even better in Spanish or French:
>"sociedad de los saberes compartidos"). This is an original exercise (and
>quite
>representative of Latin American culture) which was conluded recently and you
>can see the raw product in Spanish in:
>http://funredes.org/mistica/castellano/ciberoteca/tematica/utopista/utopistaborrador/
>We still need to make a synthesis, set up the multimedia and translate.
>
>3- A document presenting the process of creating and maitaining the MISTICA
>Think-Net as a contribution to people facing similar challenges in terms
>of democratic participation in the virtual space.
>Still to be written by myself...
>
>The funding for that three actions is from IDRC.

>Additionnaly, there is a paper document to be distributed in Dicember,
>inspired
>by the African one which was presented in Prepcom2 "The digital divide
>viewed from
>our side". This is a joint venture with ACCESO, APC, CENTRO REDES, FUNREDES,
>INFOPOLIS, ITDG, RITS, Bolivarianan University of Chile which will offer a
>collection of some short 30 papers from activists and researchers of the
>region.
>The main message is that people from the field knows better...
>A web site will be associated. The translation, edition and printing of
>the document
>is funded by Agence de la Francophonie.
>
>There is furthermore a strong possibility that we engage in one action
>with UNDP
>at regional level to be exposed in WSIS. The idea is to create a model for
>a good management of multistakeholder relationships at national level with
>a focus on outreach (try to sensitize and involve on WSIS and Millenarium
>Development Goals issues civil society beyong ICT4D specialized NGOs, and
>beyond NGOs). If this is confirmed we may hold a stand in the ICT4D platform
>in Palexpo. That action is linked with a project we are conducting at
>Dominican Republic national level (http://funredes.org/socinfodo) with the
>support of the regulator (INDOTEL) and will probably be conducted in
coperation
>with Acceso in Costa Rica.

>We may also be involved in the World Summit Award... and we are ready to
>do something where GCNP requires :-).

>Quite a lot as you can see...
