2010: Hand in Hand for IT and a Better Tomorrow
|

|
We, the members of IT Voice, wish you Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! At this time of the year, as we look forward to new opportunities, we are also mindful of the challenges we face.
In 2009, high hopes for COP15 in Copenhagen were dashed when countries failed to reach an agreement on a treaty on climate change. The Earth can't wait any longer.
Back in Hong Kong, the Government's proposal for the 2012 constitutional arrangement has fellfallen short of our people's aspirations for universal suffrage and true democracy. Ghost of functional constituencies past, present and future just wouldn't go away. How much longer can Hong Kong wait?
On January 1, 2010, IT Voice invites you to walk hand in hand for democracy, for the future of our next generation. IT Voice will also organize an open forum in January for the IT sector to discuss the proposal in the Government's constitutional reform consultation. Please stay tuned.
Once again, we wish you and your family peace, health and happiness in 2010.
