Can you capture a picture of your computer setting, how varied we are in our
circumstances, how unified we are in our goals of access and input through
ICT?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It's pretty cold and icy here, so as customary I
attend the U.N. by webcast and I hope you might wish to also.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>*Respectful Interfaces* customarily makes posters
of "people assembling," and what a fine opportunity for us worldwide to
participate via the webcast at <A
href="http://www.un.org/webcast/index.asp">http://www.un.org/webcast/index.asp</A> (first
Channel) in just a few minutes. I find that backing away from the computer
and showing some of my "things" as well as close in images "as if we are there
yields some joyous "footage"; And if you need to clear (save) what's on
your media card, or just use a traditional camera and get image to us, this
important Conference is from 10am to 1pm (New York TIme). That's just over
15 minutes from now here in New York. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Though I'm not sure about your access, the growing
interest in participation via online bridging as well as in person is and has
been already well in place in our 'time'. So if you do have 'time', please
participate if possible and do send on a text description, photo, or other to <A
href="mailto:resepctful_interfaces@att.net">resepctful_interfaces@att.net</A>
and we will do a commemorative group poster. You might even want to swivel
the camera and capture your image; doubtless everyone will be very
creative.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Motivation is that while many are still barred by
the digital divides which concern us, those of us linked-in can give a 'step-up'
to others by honoring the glories of LINKS (of all sorts) and showing our good
will towards each other. So I hope you have time, and we can collaborate
on future multistakeholder events as well - local, natioinal, regional,
global. All ideas so very welcome,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>And sending best wishes, LDMF.</FONT></DIV>
