[WSIS CS-Plenary] Fwd: [AIT] 18th Annual InfoSec Conference and IT Fair

[Rik Panganiban]

FYI, the UN is hosting a conference on "InfoSec" from June 16-17 in New 
York.

Interesting that the UN is giving its name to this "information 
security" conference. I wonder if privacy and civil liberties groups 
will be allowed to attend?  It would be nice to get a more balanced 
dialogue on the challenges of enforcing "cyber-crimes" versus 
protecting people's rights to privacy and free exchange of information.
