 * [5:33 PM] [R] SHIVA: Susan, when you have an event with a theme and discussion, some consensus emerge on the tasks ahead, some proposals are put forth, are there any plans to carry them forward after the da of celeberations ?
 * [5:35 PM] [R] SHIVA: Is there a pre-defined mechanism to forward the proposals to isoc board or to governements and to other international organizations ?  That requires the decentralized celeberations to be converged into a centralized action plan

 * [5:41 PM] [R] SHIVA: ICANN, ISOC, IETF and other internet organizations have organization members whose websites are visited by millions of people, would it be possible to reach out to some of these organizationsal sponsors to display a one web day banner for a week or so in their home pages? An example would be that of displaing banners in the orkut home page or linked in / facebook home page which is a simple measure that would create a tremendous exposure to the event

 * [5:41 PM] [R] Veni: But also may want to think of having a twitter on the day of the event.
 * [5:41 PM] [R] Ruudisoc: i will propose the isoc-ecc (european chapters) to do something together that day ..
 * [5:41 PM] [R] Connie: I strongly support the 'making news' method

 * [5:41 PM] [R] Veni: Susan, can you send me an email with all relevant links, a short press-release, which I can forward directly (and perhaps translate into Bulgarian, Russian), so that it gets spread on the Internet in different groups world-wide?
 * [5:41 PM] [R] Susan: sure
