Announcing The World Summit in Reflection: a deliberative dialogue on
WSIS
The journal of Information Technologies and International Development
(ITID) and the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard Law
School invite you to contribute to a special dialogue on the outcomes,
outputs, and experiences from the World Summit on the Information
Society. As an impartial academic platform, we will give voice to a
diverse range of thoughtful viewpoints ? some critical some
congratulatory ? but all constructive. These contributions will be
assembled into a series of deliberative reports that we hope will help
chart a course towards the 2005 meeting in Tunis.

Call for Submissions
Initial short editorial and opinion pieces are solicited for a special
edition of the ITID Forum to be published in early 2004 by the MIT
Press. Contributions should be 500-1000 words and submitted on or before
14 January 2004. We particularly encourage unique voices and
contributions, a range of opinion and style, and specific comment as
opposed to broad generalities.
Instructions for authors can be found at the ITID website,
http://mitpress.mit.edu/ITID, and submissions are preferred by email to
itid-ed@mit.edu.
Longer research pieces and commentaries on the summit are also
solicited; expressions of interest in developing longer pieces are
welcome and should also be sent to the Editors at itid-ed@mit.edu. It is
anticipated that these longer research and editorial works will form an
edited volume to be published in late 2004.
The WSIS Discussion Blog
Bloggers are invited to an open real-time discussion blog on the Summit
hosted by the Berkman Center. Please visit
http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/wsis/ to add your thoughts and read other
contributions. With the permission of the author, commentaries blogged
to this site will be considered for re-publication in World Summit in
Reflection outputs.
