[governance] Cyber Security 2011

[Ben Wagner]

To clarify the difference, there is a difference between the two events.
The first link by Avri isn't the offical conference, it's the
inter-governmental event on Nov. 1-2 CS should be concerned about.

To provide a little more context to the event:

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/07/26/cyber_hague_event/

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/10/20/bring_economics_into_freedom_debate/

From everything I have heard so far this will be a very high level event
attempting to focus the debate on cyber security at the expense of most
other internet governance issues.
