[Advisors] Fwd: link to recording of Looking Toward WSIS+20

[Marita Moll]

Thanks Garth. I didn't see this and it is a pretty good summary. 
Although I am not on-site, I can tell from the sessions I have been 
attending virtually that this topic created a lot of buzz and everyone 
is on board, itching to find out how best to participate.
