[governance] ICT4Peace meeting and draft report

[William Drake]

Hello,

Over the past year I've been working on a project for the Swiss government
with Daniel Stauffacher (Swiss WSIS ambassador) and others on the use of
ICT in (military) conflict management, humanitarian relief, and
peacebuilding operations, www.ict4peace.org.  The final report of the
first project phase will be released at the Tunis Summit, where we'll also
do a parallel event with Former Finnish President Martti Ahtisaari etc.

If anyone is interested in these issues, there will be a short parallel
event on the project tomorrow Friday 23rd,

13.00 – 14.00 hours, Palais des Nations, room XXIII, Presentation of the
ICT4Peace Report by Ambassador Stauffacher, Mr. William Drake, Mr. Paul
Currion and Ms. Julia Steinberger. The event is organized by the Swiss
Executive Secretariat for the WSIS.

The draft report is now online at the following rather unfortunate URL:
