18.11.2005 Prvi dan sam bila očajna tražeći žene po prostoru uz toliko nadmoćnu prisutnost muškaraca, posebno onih uniformiranih i naoružanih. No, kad sam malo pogledala uokolo, vidjela sam (osim participanata) pretežno žene u ružičastom koje rade kao čistačice i hodaju okolo vukući vreće sa smećem.

17.11.2005 Bio je to izrazito naporan, hektičan i rastresen dan, tako da se nadam da ću dati barem kratak pregled prije nego što padnem od umora. Dakle, nakon gotovo sedmogodišnjeg rada na ovom procesu, konačno vezujemo vezice i približavamo se dogovoru. Da, riječ je o otvaranju WSIS-a II!

Internauti messi a tacere in Tunisia - da Lettera 22
16.11.2005 E' comiciato oggi a Tunisi il Vertice mondiale sulla società dell'informazione (WSIS) con un compromesso sul futuro controllo di internet, una delle questioni più spinose dell'incontro. L'accordo permette agli Stati Uniti di mantenere lo stato attuale della gestione della rete attraverso l'Icann. Si susseguono, intanto, le reazioni all'oscuramento da parte del governo tunisino dei siti italiani che ospitano la raccolta di firme all’appello per la liberazione degli internauti di Zarzis, e perchè il forum alternativo della società civile sia garantito: il Segretario Generale della Federazione Nazionale della Stampa Italiana, Paolo Serventi Longhi, ha inviato all’Ambasciatore della Tunisia una lettera. Amnesty International e Human Right Watch dichiarato che il pugno di ferro del governo tunisino sui difensori dei diritti umani e la sua intolleranza verso gli oppositori interni rischiano di trasformare in farsa il Summit.
