think that it is worth pointing out that this selection,
whatever the evident merits of the individuals selected, was
made by a self-appointed group representing a self-selected
set of civil society organizations (the CS:CC) from which
the Community Informatics network which has been active in
civil society (and other matters) concerning the Internet
since 2001; was, without cause, explanation or
justification, excluded.</span></p>

<br>
I also consider the exclusion of the CI network as completely
unexplained and unjustified.... Especially when in the CI network
almost everyone has some direct relationship with marginalised
groups related work, causes and interests. And this in the direct
context of new ICTs, of which the Internet is of course the central
paradigm. On one hand, such a group is excluded from the civil
society's apex structure and, on the other hand, the existing
structure refuses to apply the 'marginalised groups' criterion...
This isnt ok..<br>
