I didn't hear about this conference. Avi Duvdevani the Acting Commissioner, New York City Department of Information Technology spoke at the NECCC Electronic Government Conference in Las Vegas on Monday. http://ec3.org/ Here is a brief press report. As you may recall, the NYC.GOV web site was intermittent. http://www.fcw.com/geb/articles/2001/1210/web-nyc-12-14-01.asp While Verizon was working to restore voice communications, Duvdevani said that the city's Web site (www.nyc.gov) became a resource for disseminating information to the public and media. Volume of traffic was 100 times greater than normal, he said. Did anyone attend the NECCC conference?
