"GISWatch is a unique experience, I think. Don´t know if there is a similar project in other fields. Having each year the possibility of tackling a particular issue of the field of rights and ICT, convoquing experts to analyse it from different perspectives and counting with about 50 countries in each edition, to get down that analysis to each particular territory is very valuable."
- Florencia Roveri, Nodo TAU, Argentina
"the GISWatch is a magical space for learning, knowledge sharing and advocacy. Stakeholders should use this to help implement the human right-based approach to programming"
- Pacôme Sênoudé Tomètissi, POPDEV Bénin, Benin – GISWatch author
"GISWatch 2011 offers timely commentary on the future of the internet as an open and shared platform that everyone has the right to access."
