Del 23 al 25 de noviembre de 2004 en Ginebra, Suiza, se llevó a cabo la primera reunión del Grupo de Trabajo sobre Gobernanza de Internet (GTGI), creado por Naciones Unidas.
Carlos A. Afonso, director de planificación de RITS y miembro de la CV Mística, hace parte del GTGI, así como del Comité Gestor de Internet en Brasil. Tras su participación en Ginebra preparó un relato detallado sobre esa primera reunión. Entre otros puntos, el informe afirma que "la gobernanza de Internet va mucho más allá de lo que hace actualmente la ICANN (nombres, números y protocolos) y no hay todavía una propuesta consistente que cubra todos los aspectos de la gobernanza"

First International Congress: E-Learning and social inclusion - Barcelona 2004

http://www.el4ei.net/congress/
Our transition from an industrial society towards an informational one has clearly modified a series of social practices. Specific needs for the labour market, new forms of democratic participation, or access to education and culture are only three examples of how work, politics and education are changing due to the influence of ICT.
These new possibilities also strengthen certain exclusion mechanisms, while creating new ones. This is why the term “e-inclusion” appeared, to describe all those practices which try to reduce digital divide and assure that information society, besides being economically profitable, includes the values of justice, equality and solidarity.
