A2K is a WSIS Reunion
One thing that's been quite a surprise here at the Yale A2K conference is the number of friends and colleagues from World Summit on the Information Society that are participating. I was glad to see Rik Panganiban, who's left CONGO and is now working for a new media reform initiative; also participating are Bruno LaPorte of the World Bank, Sean O'Siochru of the CRIS Campaign, Bill Drake of CPSR and Rinalia Abdul Rahim of Global Knowledge Partnership. Meanwhile, the law school hosted a wonderful dinner at the New Haven restaurant Union League Cafe. I sat at an amazing table, including Jak Stienens and Saskia Harmsen of IICD, Jen Corriero of TakingITGlobal, Amos Anyimadu of the University of Ghana (whom I met in Accra last summer), Anriette Esterhuysen of APC, Nnenna Nwakanma of African Civil Society for the Information Society and Davinia Ovett of 3D Three. And they even served creme brulee for dessert. :-) -andy
