[discuss] Funding for developing economies as an Ig policy issue? was Re:[ ] Time to be ...

[Louis Pouzin (well)]

Helping financially *Less Developed Countries *(LDC) has been a recurring
topic since early WSIS meetings. However governments and well funded
institutions have heroically snowed all debates initiated on the subject.

I published a few times an article,

*FINANCING LDCs IN THE WSIS PROCESS*
http://www.open-root.eu/about-open-root/news/financing-ldcs-in-the-wsis-process

A *french version *is available at http://www.eurolinc.eu/spip.php?article76

Good luck LDCs

Louis
