Glenn and I were most certainly there, but more about the advocacy of Open Source software than anything specifically to do with governance. I led a delegation of 21 people from 13 countries (page 155 in the
list of participants). To be honest we spent more time involved with the
ICT4D activities adjacent to WSIS in the same Palexpo building. I recall the meeting, run by the French government, in which Stallman got into a shouting match with the interpreters. I also recall that our delegation submitted an end-of-conference declaration that broke sharply from the Civil Society statement that was more about saying the right words than actually advancing the Information Society.
But what I remember most warmly was booth 502 on the ICT4D Platform floor. Organizers had kindly given us a booth such that all WSIS delegates had to walk past us on their way in and out of the conference. To demonstrate that Open Source advocacy was both a global and local phenomenon, the Geneva Linux Users Group facilitated our acquisition of a refrigerator and enough beer to keep it stocked through the conference. As a result, we distributed more than 9,000 Linux CDs and our booth stayed open well past the end of the WSIS meetings each day. I later wrote a debrief called "Upstairs Downstairs" in
World Summit on Reflection which was published by Harvard's Berkman Center.
