[Air-l] Science and Technology in the Information Society forum for WSIS

[jeremy hunsinger]

I think it would be a good idea for many of the people interested in 
this set of topics to join and post on the icsu forum.

Introduction to the    ICSU/CODATA on line discussion forum:
    “Science and Technology in the Information Society”



Background



The UN World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS)    is scheduled 
to take place in Geneva in December 2003 and in Tunis in 2005.    The 
scientific and technological community has a key role to play in the 
development    of the Information Society for the benefit of society as 
a whole. In this development,    there are both opportunities and 
threats for the future of science itself. In    its aim to bring 
together stakeholders from all sectors (governments, business    and 
industry, and civil society), WSIS provides a unique opportunity to 
define    the principles and specific actions that will underpin future 
development of    the information society. The international S&T 
community has a responsibility    to ensure that its voice is heard in 
defining these discussions. This on-line    forum is one small step in 
that direction.
