Mosaic on WSIS 

The World Forum on Community Networking (WFCN) invites you to read the
2nd issue of Mosaic, a newsletter presenting a synthesis of civil
society debates on the information society. This issue covers the
preparation period for PrepCom 3 of the World Summit on the Information
Society: 
http://www.globalcn.org/en/article.ntd?id=1707&sort=1.25

Mosaic is published in three languages (English, French and Spanish). 
It summarises discussions held on a number of lists and sites. Since
most lists are in English, and to a lesser extent, in Spanish, this
initiative was developed to provide a balanced overview from different
cultural and linguistic perspectives on the WSIS process and to
contribute to the exchange of ideas on the information society between
different cultural spaces.

The Forum is a one-day event taking place at Palexpo alongside the World

ground. A multimedia and multilingual event, the Forum aims to set the
tone of the debate on issues that are real to the majority, from poverty
in the media, to Human Rights, to knowledge, to peace and conflict.
