The World Summit on the Information Society is meeting in Geneva this week , to discuss questions of planetary internet policy and governance.

One aspect of discussion concerns the role of the United States as internet's creator and most influential player , which some nations contest politically and ideologically . One proposal might be to raise the International Telecommunications Union ( ITU ) as a global regulatory agency.

An additional topic is likely to be support for open access scholarship .

The British Council has launched a weblog for following the Summit 's discussions and events .

The World Summit on the Information Society ( WSIS ) meeting prepared to begin today, with a variety of issues beginning to emerge. Draft declarations of principles and action have been published .

Some friction occured over the United States' leading role in internet governance, with a US representative ejected , and some nations calling for a United Nations agency to take a leading role. The United Nation's secretary, Kofi Annan, called for the summit to preserve media freedoms.

The WSIS is being covered by the DailySummit weblog and the WSIS Newsfeed . The very popular HelloWorld! project is beaming Web-based and SMS-sent messages to global locations, including Geneva, by laser, as an artistic commentary on the event.

Why UN's information society summit is
doomed to fail

Why UN's information society summit is
doomed to fail 02/17/2004 08:43 AM
The United Nations World Summit on Information Society (WSIS) has been doomed to failure from the start. That may seem odd, given both the abundance of free and open source software and the apparent interest by the UN in making such tools available to the impoverished -- a combination that seems a no-brainer. But in spite of the alignment of resource, need, and interest, the WSIS plan will fail. Here's why.

How do pharmaceutical companies choose
sales representatives? 09/17/2004 02:39 AM
Pharmaceutical sales can be a tough area to break into—especially if you lack coveted sales experience. The fact is, if you have experience selling pharmaceuticals in a specific disease category or have contacts at major medical institutions, you might be a shoe in. However, for those who do not have limited sales experience or no sales background, the opportunities become more limited. Medzilla gets an insider’s view about how pharmaceutical companies hire and what job candidates who want to launch careers as sales reps need to know. [PRWEB Sep 17, 2004]

Wiki Standardization Summit

Wiki Standardization Summit 06/03/2004 06:29 PM

Despite increasing popularity of wiki, there is no such thing as the wiki syntax.  Instead there are many wiki syntaxes, each similar to others but different enough to prevent wiki users from learning the local dialect when they visit a wiki.  I haven't figured out exactly what factors are encouraging divergence or discouraging convergence, but wiki will remain a geeky version of the wild west unless some serious efforts are made toward standardization.

Since I don't see W3C getting out of their stubborn chickenshit mode anytime soon and IETF usually operates in reactive mode, there is little chance of standardization happening unless wiki developers, particularly those interested in commercialization of wiki technology lead the way.  The first major step should be a gathering of wiki developers, a Wiki Standardization Summit.

The goal of the summit should be clear: to agree upon and commit to a set of wiki standards on syntax, API, links, etc.  I am not interested in a summit where everyone just yaps for a few days and then leave with nothing more than good feelings.  So I think the summit attendence should be limited to those who are willing to commit time and resources to implement whatever is agreed upon at the end of the summit.

If you are interested, post a comment here.
