We need a community calendar to identify optimal times, and again
something fixed on the web would be better than exchanging and trying to
keep track of emails.  At the moment, a look at the list of parallel
events seems to suggest that Friday afternoon is relatively open.  Here's
places I have be, so I hope we don't schedule an important meeting that
conflicts:

Monday 14, 13:00-15:00 Amilcar room
"Cybercrime & censorship in Middle East and North Africa"
CPSR/Human Rights Watch

Tuesday 15, 09:00-11:00, Matmata room
"Human Rights in the Information Society"
Human Rights Institute, Denmark. This event will bring together some of
the authors from a book that will be published next year in the MIT Press
series I co-edit, looking at the application of international human rights
agreements to ICT policy issues.

Wed. 16,  11:00-13:00, Hammamet room
"Reforming the Internet Governance: Perspectives from the Working Group on
Internet Governance (WGIG)"
CPSR/WGIG executive secretariat.  This should be a release event for a
book (free copies) I've edited for the UNICT Task Force series comprising
papers by more than two dozen colleagues and staff from the WGIG.  Might
be of particular local interest.

Wed. 16,  11:00-13:00, Le Kram room
"Role of computer science & engineering professions in helping to realize
the WSIS benchmarks"
CPSR, scheduled at the same time as the above WGIG session (very
thoughtful on the part of the secretariat).

Thursday 17, 13:00-15:00, Saint Augustin room
"ICT4Peace"
Swiss Foreign Ministry

Also it should be noted that Jovan is organizing some IG panels through
the Diplo Foundation that are not included in the official list of
parallel events; I presume when he's got the agenda ironed out he'll post
here.

Best,

Bill
