Caribbean must get more involved in shaping global Internet policy

Amidst reports of increased cyber crime in Barbados, Information Technology professionals are on a drive to sensitise Internet users about the issue of internet governance.   The Geneva Internet Conference focusing on that topic took place in Switzerland on November 17 -19, and professionals from both the IT and legal arena, as well as students of Computer Science, Maths and Physics at the University of the West Indies, Cave Hill campus, joined the conference virtually.

Coordinator of the Barbados Remote Hub, Jason Hynds, says there needs to be greater representation from Barbados and the Caribbean at international meetings dealing with internet issues. MORE
