The video:

Sisphean Musings

I emailed WEF Media Director Mark Adams early Friday morning EST (04 FEB 05), just before 1:00PM Geneva time. I got two emails in response 5 1/2 hours later confirming that he has the video in "beta version", that he needed to make a copy, and asking how urgently I needed it. I replied by email:

Would next week be possible, say by Wednesday, to make a copy and mail it?

I followed up with a phonecall to his office in Geneva and got his answering machine. I left a message that I was following up on the email. I also called the "emergency" number he provides on the answering machine message and let that ring until I was satisfied that he was not answering and there was not a message service (approximately 8-12 rings, I didn't count).

I spent much of today on the phone with Robert Cox from Media Bloggers Association. We are trying to get a footprint in Geneva to work directly with Mr. Adams to get the video digitized and in our possession. Starting around 2:00AM EST tonight (8:00AM Geneva time, Superbowl should be over by then), we will be working contacts in Geneva and trying to reach Mr. Adams to expedite getting the video digitized and hosted online.

Mr. Cox will also be working with the hosting services that he put together for the Tsunami Video Hosting Initiative to host the WEF video when and/or if we get our hands on it.

Backup plan remains that if it ends up a VHS copy is "snailmailed" to me, I will get it digitized and over to Mr. Cox for hosting if that works out.
