In previous years only highlights and side interviews have been posted on their YouTube <https://www.youtube.com/user/WSISProcess/videos>, and none since 2013! Hopefully they've turned over a new leaf, but one shouldn't depend on it. Markus Kummer has sent word there'll be an *IGFSA info session* <https://www.itu.int/net4/wsis/forum/2016/Agenda/Session/227> on Friday at 11:00 CEST = 09:00 UTC, 5am in NYC. joly posted: "This week May 2–6 2016 ITU, UNESCO, UNCTAD and UNDP host the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) Forum 2016 in Geneva, Switzerland.
