A brief update of today's meeting: As usual, today's meeting started with stocktaking of various ICT for development initiatives. And I am very pleased to learn Shaddy's views on OneWorld South Asia's involvement in youth programmes. This, I guess, will happen through various cross-sectoral issues and programmes. As Jennifer has indicated earlier, we are going to work closely with TakingITGlobal, and its allies, on several fronts.

In next few days, I will be having meetings with my colleagues in different programme areas, particularly with Grassroots Communications, Knowledge for Development and Policy Advocacy to frame working issues and directives for furthering this work.

Writing for Sachi, ISEC, Bangalore is in progress and I hope to send across this article within next few days.
