Vision of their specific contribution to the GA Strategy Council:

As a representative of the academic community, teaching issues related to the information society since 20 years at various universities in Europe and the US - inter alia American Univereity Washington, University of Tampere, University of Leipzig, University of Halle, University of Aarhus - I would argue as a member of the GASC first of all in favour of the interests of civil society and here in particular for projects supporting Human Rights and Freedoms - like the right to freedom of expression, right to access to information, right to knowledge, right to communicate, right to eduction, right to privacy, right to share information, user and consumer rights - and bridiging the digital divide.  I would also argue in favour of a deeper understanding and a more efficient implementation of the principle of multistakeholderism, which was one of the political innovations of the WSIS process and which needs collaborative actions towards a qualitative new relationship among all mein stakeholder groups in achieving the WSIS goals until 2015. Another issue for my activities in the council would be to link closer the MDG objectives with the WSIS objectives and to link the GA process related to ICT for development with the IGF process related to internet governce.
