UN DESA and the Secretariat of the Global Alliance for ICTs and
Development will organise on 29 November a one-day event on the theme:
"Our Common Humanity in the Information Age: Principles and Values for
Development".

The scope of the meeting is, based on the UN Millennium Declaration
and on the wording of the outcome document of the 2005 World Summit,
to promote a dialogue among various categories of stakeholders to
revive the spirit of cooperation on the use of information and
communication technologies (ICT) for enhancing the achievement of
internationally agreed development goals, including the Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs), notably reduction of poverty. The dialogue
will be organised around 4 sessions.

 a blog has been set up for this meeting at
http://och-forum.blogspot.com/ to guide questions for the purpose of
stimulating debate and discussion on the theme of the meeting and is
open to guest contributors


"People Who experience mood swings, fear, voices and visions"
