Mixed Gender Lessons Found in Fall of Fiorina

Well - Carly's gone from HP.
So here's an article on the gender implications of her firing.
Why must there be a gender implication? Cause she's female? Are there gender implications when a male CEO isfired?
Or is it that gender =woman? I don't think so, and neither does the Oxford Dictionary!

CaveBear Blog: Comments on the Working Papers of the Working Group on Internet Governance (WGIG)

Some interesting comments on the 21 draft issue papers released by the WGIG after the first meeting.
More comments

We are currently in the middle of the Second Meeting of the WGIG, working on preparing a draft document to submit to the WSIS Prepcom next week.

I think that we may not have been clear at all about the purpose of the papers - they are meant to be background material, and not to form part of the report, but some people seem to be taking them way too seriously!

We've just spent nearly 2 days debating bits of the papers, but the substantive issues have been very lightly touched on.

Oh well - it will move along eventually.
