[NCUC-DISCUSS] ITU WSIS 2017 Call for Speakers - High-Level Policy Sessions

[McLaughlin, Lisa]

Hello to Renata and all,

I don't remember that being included on earlier calls either. I would
hesitate before "many," as in the "1st of many."

Also, it's notable that CSW61 just recognized "gender and media" as a
priority item for CSW62 publicly last week (this doesn't seem to have been
announced broadly, but, as someone who has been involve with the Global
Alliance on Media and Gender since its inception, I received the news
early).

The WSIS Forum may be trying to get on board with that, but, from
experience, I question how long will be the attention span as relates to
gender and media and/or gender and Internet governance.

Regards,

Lisa
