I have a question to Tijani in this regard: Was hosting the 2nd WISIS in Tunisia one drop in the bowl for the Facebook revolution (or Arabic spring) years later? What is your personal opinion on this? Sandra Von: Tijani BEN JEMAA [mailto:tijani.benjemaa@fmai.org] Gesendet: Sonntag, 14.

Alan, do you mean that it's useless to have meetings in those country???? I disagree with this approach, and still think that the principle of rotating the meetings over the 5 regions as much as possible is a priority. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tijani BEN JEMAA Executive Director Mediterranean Federation of Internet Associations (FMAI) Phone: +216 98 330 114 Mobile: +216 41 649 605 Fax: +216 70 825 231 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tijani BEN JEMAA Executive Director Mediterranean Federation of Internet Associations (FMAI) Phone: +216 98 330 114 Mobile: +216 41 649 605 Fax: +216 70 825 231 -------------------------------------------------------------------------
