13th ICASA Coverage: Update and web site article listing

***********************************************

Dear colleagues and friends

This is a mid-conference reminder of ICASA/HDN Key Correspondent

articles that are already available (see below) on the HDN website

(www.hdnet.org). More will be added over the next few days, so check

back regularly to follow daily proceedings.

You can also now read the first two issues of the on-site newspaper

(Pamoja News) on the site.

All HDN KC articles will be distributed through eForum AF-AIDS in due

course, but we are pacing the distribution so you do not all get

overwhelmed with too many emails.

Please feel free to let us know what you think of the coverage, or if

there is something specific you feel we should add or improve. To do so,

please write to:

best wishes from a hectic Nairobi
