But althoug the intervention by A. Wade, president of
Senegal, at the same "Visionaries' round table" is reported on the WSIS
site (under Executive Secretariate) - Lessig's isn't, unfortunately.
How about writing to them to ask why it is not--and cc'ing Larry
Lessig <lessig at pobox.com>?
The WSIS is being run mostly by the ITU, and I am told that in the
ITU large companies have explicit decision-making power. It might be
that Lessig's talk was omitted as the result of specific bias. But
this is just a possibility, not a known fact. They might listen to
public pressure on this.
