>The World Summit on the Information Society Prepcom is under way in
>Geneva. It is another step along the road to the actual World Summit in
>Geneva later this year. From the feedback being received from civil
>society participants so far, there seems to be the not unexpected
>variety of power struggles taking place, complicated I suspect by the
>current world situation over Iraq.
>
>I plan to organise a virtual conference after this prepcom and will
>invite representatives from public, private, academic and civil society
>sectors to share their experiences on this event.
>
>If you attended this prepcom and would like to share your perspective in
>a virtual conference, please send me an email at

>I am currently seeking contributors to a new book on the Digital
>Revolution that I am writing. The book will focus on the impact of the
>digital revolution on society and explore some of the paradoxical
>challenges and opportunities now emerging to create a critical phase in
>man's history. Your feedback will be most welcome.
