[Chapter-delegates] United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs- IGF briefing / publications

[Joly MacFie]

I thank Olivier for passing on a notification of a briefing at the UN
tomorrow about the future of the IGF.

I have put details at http://www.isoc-ny.org/p2/?p=632

I am probably not able to attend.

Whilst browsing the DESA site I notice a couple of publications that
will be of general interest to Chapters.
