21 September 2005 – Sex[ism] in the Afternoon (1:00pm – 3:00pm)
By Jac sm Kee
HUMPH! I am so pissed off I could punch someone (if I didn’t believe in random acts of violence, I would have by now!! Grr..) To start from the beginning, a civil society side event was organised on “Internet Governance Forum Function” with plenary presentations by members of WGIG. This was to have a space for discussion on how a global forum or interface on internet governance might look like,…

21 September 2005 – Porn[ography] in the Morning (10:00am – 1:00pm)
By Jac sm Kee
The day started with sun! After two days of feeling like a houseplant, the feeling of optimism that the bright, yellow and warm gaze of actual sun is not to be sneered at...

20 September 2005 - Getting to the Gender Ghetto (post-lunch-that-didn’t-happen)
By Jac sm Kee
In the last hour where I sat through the plenary session, my ears were on high alert for the mention of gender. Granted I only managed to catch a few governments’ statements (i.e. Switzerland, Venezuela, Turkey, Burkina Faso, Singapore, South Africa and Republic of Korea) before stakeholders like the ITU, CCBI and the Civil Society Internet Governance Caucus were given the floor for their…

19 September 2005 - Civil Society Content and Themes Meeting (6:00pm – 7:00)
By Jac sm Kee
The evening reception happening outside of the meeting room really tested the commitment of the participants in this meeting (me! me!). But Tracey Naughton (MISA - Media Institute of Southern Africa) who chaired the meeting was amazingly efficient, and despite it starting almost 20 minutes late, she managed to outline the new method and structure of working, faciliate a discussion on its finer…

19 September 2005 - Gender Caucus Meeting (1:00pm – 2:00pm)
By Jac sm Kee
Admittedly I was late for this because I got hopelessly lost at the Palais de Nations Building. When I finally arrived, still hungry and panting, the meeting was in full-swing. Kind of...

19 Sept 2005 – Opening Plenary (10:00am – 12:00pm)
By Jac sm Kee
So, all in all, a much more politically charged day than I thought
it would be. For the first time possibly ever, I was actually impatient
to be on time for the Opening Plenary of an event...
(warning: a rather long post that tries to make sense of the Human Rights in China accreditation issue and the politicisation of international advocacy platforms that it exposes)

18 September 2005 - Civil Society Orientation Session (10:00am - 5:00pm)
By Jac sm Kee
The first day of WSIS Prep Com 3 already promises to be volatile. The Civil Society Orientation Session featured at least two white elephants straining to break free...
