Dear Sala, thank you very much for your report & congratulations on holding an exciting workshop! It is great to see participants from the four corners of such a huge region. I am glad the on-site/off-site co-moderation worked well. Kindest regards, Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond On 07/08/2014 06:08, Salanieta T. Tamanikaiwaimaro wrote:
Dear APRALO Chair, ALAC Chair, ALAC,
The *South Pacific Computer Society* as a member of APRALO reached out to its counterparts in Asia Pacific to tell the Asia Pacific story on the Digital Divide. We felt that it was important to start the dialogue as well as to document it.
As such we organised a Workshop and also reached out to our colleagues from at least three other ALSes in APRALO, namely ISOC AU, CSI, ISOC HK who also shared their perspectives on the Digital Divide. The transcripts will be available later. For now here is the summary of our Workshop that was held in New Delhi yesterday.
One of the breakthroughs yesterday is that it was co-moderated on and off-site so we in essence defeated time and the geographical divide through ICT.
With every best wish,
Salanieta Tamanikaiwaimaro
