to all community leaders in the blog, twitter, facebook worlds of Lebanon, please register and attend this to help shape Lebanese government policy on ICT (this is a focus group for social media leaders)
You are cordially invited to attend a special focus group meeting on "Internet and Connectivity Issues in Lebanon".
As our country is going through a transition and forming a new government, the time is opportune to discuss these issues with government representatives.
As bloggers, twitterati, facebookers, and interested stakeholders, we can together perhaps shape tomorrow's policy decisions by sharing our views and having an open and frank discussion with my guest speaker, Mrs. Salam Yamout.
Mrs. Yamout is the National ICT Strategy Coordinator at the Presidency of the Council of Ministers. I would appreciate, if you could send me ahead of time and in bullet points format, the issues that you like to discuss so I can organize the meeting and manage the scarce time we have.

Save Beirut Heritage stressed: "We are all to blame for the loss of our cultural heritage."
