FYI: Markus Kummer in the Internet Governance Forum just mentioned about the IGF in Rio, including introducing some discussion on the link between global climate change and Internet Governance. That sort of reminded me of the following conferences and want to share with you guys: Symposia on ICT and Climate Change to be held in Kyoto, Japan in April, followed by another one in London in June. http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/worksem/climatechange/index.html I plan to go to Kyoto conference (just to observe and learn) I guess environmental challenges and ICT/Internet may become bigger topic shortly. izumi -- >> Izumi Aizu << Institute for HyperNetwork Society, Oita Kumon Center, Tama University, Tokyo Japan * * * * * << Writing the Future of the History >> www.anr.org
