[wilhelmtux-discussion] Re: Comknight Netzwerk, pdf "illiteratismo" - OFCOM should set an example in the use of ICT tools towards Information society

[Claude Almansi]

Dear Mr Rivola,

Re your "Please let me kindly ask you to discuss such problems bilaterally,
not spreading them all over the world. I don't think that the cc-people will
be able to solve them themselves."

Perhaps not. But at least, it elicited a response from you, whereas I got
none whatsoever when I wrote to you, Ms Brenner and Ms Cotti about the
inconvertibility problem of the PDF for
the Infosociety Newsletter #34.

Improper use of PDF in particular, and ICT communication in general, is not
a mere technicality to be discussed "en famille".  It is at the very core of
the dangerous retardedness of Switzerland in its Information Society policy,
a retardedness that has been exposed worldwide, for instance, in the use of
ICT by the various federal adimistrations involved in the preparation of the
WSIS. See, below, the Newsletter 6 sent by the Swiss Executive Secretariat
for WSIS (Seco).

If you wish, I can forward you a few reactions to this Newsletter, or other
instances of this improper use by the Federal office of culture or the
Division of Development and Cooperation . The cat is already out of the bag:
I didn't take her out, Swiss federal administrations did it themselves, to
the whole world.

This is why I don't see a  problem in opening the debate about this issue:
it concerns us all.

Sincerely

Newsletter 6  from the Swiss Executive Secretariat for WSIS. I have deleted
the first part of the more than 680 e-mail addresses put in clear, in order
not to further expose recipients to spam.

Dear Mrs. Almansi,
Since I am fully involved at WSIS Prepcom 3bis I am not able to answer your
questions.
I ask Linda and Sabine to reply your requests.
Please let me kindly ask you to discuss such problems bilaterally, not
spreading them all over the world. I don't think that the cc-people will be
able to solve them themselves.
Best regards, Roberto Rivola
