[governance] Summer School on Internet Governance

Fri Feb 8 09:07:08 EST 2008

Many thanks Wolfgang for the info.
But one question: is there no sponsorship for candidates from LDCs. The
content of the program makes the class a must for candidates from the South
to participate. How do we get about this inclusiveness without
sponsorship?
