[CS Bureau] CSB Transparency - A way to meet the challenge

[Robert Guerra]

One of the long standing complaints that people have against the CSB  
is that we aren't too transparent. One way to respond to the  
criticism is to improve the information flow.. How can that be done ?

Well, let me suggest one easy solution - that of getting the CSB  
members to blog.

So how can we do it, well first we need a server with the  
functionality. Preferability one that's hosted for free, and running  
Free and open source software.  It turns out that the people from  
Civiblog and TuCows have graciously donated a space for people to  
blog on and about WSIS.

The url is -  http://wsis.civiblog.org/

There's not catch, no adds - just a nice space where those interested  
in blogging can post comments, thoughts and news about WSIS. One can  
post via email, online, or using a blogging client tool.

I think our fellow CS @ WSIS colleagues would welcome the initiative,  
as it would allow them to not only gets news from mailing lists - but  
an online RSS feed as well.

If you are interested to share your thoughts , be they in any  
language you care to post messages in - do let me know so that I can  
set up an account  for you.



regards

Robert
