Esta tarde hemos llegado a Ginebra. El cuartel general esta en la Usine, un centro social, que fue tambien el centro de medios - atacado por la policia - durante el pasado G8.
De momento el ambiente es de toma de contacto, un poco caotico. Ma*ana habra asamblea a las 18 para definir los planes de la semana, y los contenidos de los diversos ejes de WSIS? WE SEIZE!: Conferencia estrategica - 8 y 9 -, Polymedia Lab y High Noon - 10, 11, 12, ademas de diversas acciones que tendran lugar en las calles.
El equipo de hackitectura esta acabando de instalar el dispositivo de streaming sobre Pure Data.

Internet showdown side-stepped in Geneva

The international showdown over who should run the Internet has been side-stepped at the very last minute following 12 hours of intensive talks in Geneva.
More than 200 negotiators met at an extraordinary meeting on the weekend before the World Summit on the Information Society in order to thrash things about and hopefully prevent the entire meeting from being disrupted by three controversial issues
[who should run the Internet, free speech and the role of the media on the Internet, richer Western nations should provide aid to poorer nations to bring them into the information area and if so, how much money exactly and how that is to be managed].

"we have a dilemma - which is the real ICANN? Is ICANN the sword-bearing guardian of the internet as described in ICANN's MoU (and amendments) with the United States and in ICANN's own bylaws? Or is ICANN merely an impotent "coordinator" that has no power over the IP address allocation systems and DNS root servers except to make suggestions and hope that those who really operate those systems might heed ICANN's non-binding advice?
Certainly if the latter situation obtains, if ICANN has no actual authority the IP address system or the operation of the DNS root servers then we have to ask: Who does? What policies do those real authorities follow? Who makes those policies? To whom, if anyone, are those real authorities accountable?...
If ICANN is not in charge, then who is? And if it is not ICANN, then who is guaranteeing to the community of internet users that the net will remain stable? What is there, beyond mere words, that backs up such guarantees? And who may enforce those guarantees if they are not met?
Next week at the WSIS meeting would be a good time for ICANN to reveal its true self and answer these questions, with clarity, with precision, and with specificity."

Before it even begins, the parallel Media Workshop event to the WSIS is in danger of being shut down. The PolyMediaLab event is intended as an opportunity to learn and share technical and theoretical skills promoting independent media production.
