Dear all
+1 from me.
Anja, just to reassure you and others that one workshop from Turkish
activists did make the program, thanks to a lot of effort from Turkish
folk in Turkey and elsewhere, and with a collaborative effort between
the IRPC and Freedom House to make sure this session made the program.
It is on Friday morning at 9am and has support from the Turkish Pirate
Party. Would be good to have a wide awake and supportive audience for
this new initiative. There are a lot of events happening in and beyond
the IGF venue on this day.
It is WS 225 entitled Online Freedoms and Access to Information Online

cheers
MF
