<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear Andrew and all</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am not specially up-to-date, but I met Alain
Modoux the day before yesterday in Geneva. He was just back from South Africa
where a conference took place. You are probably aware of it, but in case not,
the website is: <A
href="http://www.highwayafrica.org.za">www.highwayafrica.org.za</A> Modoux
delivered a communication in which he mentions another meeting that
took place in Bakou earlier. The journalists and media organisations issued a
text about the conditions of participation in WSIS 2 in Tunisia.(full text +
signatories included in Modoux's communication).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>For your information: a group of representatives
from journalists + media associations, human rights experts (HRW, AI,
etc.) + observers (UNESCO, ICRC) met on the 20 and 21 of September to
discuss ways and means to better protect journalists in conflict zones.
The group was quiet narrow for financial reasons, but is expected to broaden.You
can find a report and the declaration on <A
href="http://www.ifj.org">www.ifj.org</A> ("what's new").</FONT></DIV>
