Dear all,
I'll be in Toronto as well for the ISA World Congress. Mainly following the
RC51 on Sociocybernetics stream. An Internet or digital media studies
committee would be cool. During the last few years I've attempted to inject
with alternate success some of this topics and issues within RC51 rather
than attempting to create a new RC.

Hope to see you guys in Toronto.

Best, Fabio
