[governance] WSIS Forum 2011, 16 to 20 May Geneva

[parminder]

It is significant that the WSIS forum will not be shifted to New York as 
was mooted. Could have implications for negotiations around improvement/ 
changes to the IGF, likely to take place in a few days at th UN Gen 
Assembly. This has further reduced the chances of the IGF secretariat 
shifting to New York, as is feared by some. Parminder
