[governance] Cyber Security 2011

[Rui Correia]

Yes, Ben is right on the need to set the two apart. It would be useful for
those commenting to state which event they are referring to.

The link sent by Wolfgang is for an event co-sponsored by Chatham House,
which has done great work in human rights, exposing corruption, etc etc. I
would find it odd to see them involved in an event in collusion with
governments/ business to shut out CS.
