APC Talk
This section is a space where APC's staff, members and readers can open up conversations on topics that are of interest for the ICT community.

From my RSS-feed, I just came across this story from one of my favourite news sources — IPS filing from Bangkok — that makes a case on why the information society must block paedophiles.
Just curious whether environmental sustainability and ICTs is taking place somewhere in the WSIS docs at all ;-) It will be good to know if apart from BlueLink, whether there are other NGOs interested to stand up for the issue of environmental sustainability in Tunis.
