	Hello to you all, It's been a pleasure reading your messages so far. It looks as though we will be receiving thought generating interventions. I'd like to clarify Nicole's confusion about the question that the Consultation will be adressing in its conclusion. That question is aimed to point towards the actions and values that we must undertake to support the emergence of more just and democratic information societies. To arrive at those conlusion, each week we will be focussing on different thematics. Of course, Nicole is right, to achieve a more just vehicule we must be more just ourselves. But that is often easier said that done. What we need to look at for example is how we can encourage democratic initiatives with regards to the information society, what recommendations we can put forwards to our governement to sustain these ideals and values that we share. We can brainstorm together abouth those actions in the next weeks repecting the different thematics As Canadians who work internationally, we are faced with a wide sprectrum of obstacles that come in the way of an equalitarian and democratic use of information technologies, such as unequal acces to education, welth, ressources and information. How can we imagine a better distribution and more fairness in the access? What actions can we undertake? Be it working with marginalised groups on creating access centres or putting together virtual libraries such as Daniel's project ? What are your thoughts on that? As Nicole says the vehicule to be democratic must be based on such values. And how is that achieved? Does it mean that we must first educate justice, democracy so that the Information society we build is based on those values? Let's think about it together Cheers, Alexandra > > > -------- Original Message -------- > Subject: [canadawsisworld] Saludo from Mexico > Date: Thu, 13 Mar 2003 23:31:43 -0500 > From: Nicole Dobinson > Reply-To: canadawsisworld (at) groups.takingitglobal.org > To: Alexandra > > > Hi everyone, > > This is Nicole writing you all from Mexico where I > have been working with the UN
