hi all

I've updated the list of CS caucuses and working groups, prompted by 
angela's message and posted it here:
http://www.wsis-cs.org/caucuses.html

we should take this opportunity to make sure the contact information for 
focal points is correct. I have pulled together the info from what i have, 
but i know there are gaps and am sure there are errors.

**  Could everyone take a look at the list and let me know by email at 
karenb at apcwomen.org of any corrections  - please, please -  don't post to 
the lists ;) **

Angela - when do you need this info by?

notes/questions below

=====

(1) once we have clarified all of the focal points, i wonder if it would be 
useful to set up a list for all focal points to make communication about 
issues (such as the one angela raises) easier? - it could be:

ct-focalpoints at wsis-cs.org (for example)

(2) The CS Bureau list: there are **two**, one - bureau at wsis-cs.org and one 
managed by the Civil Society Division. COuld we have clarification of which 
list will be used, whether the archives are public, and who a contact point 
could be.

(3) Regions:
- i have no list/website info for western asia or arab countries
- are there any other regions with active caucuses missing?

(4) thematic caucuses and working groups

- cultural and linguistic diversity - is there no working group on this? - 
i have no info

- education and academia - the list is edulac - is this a LAC regional list 
only? and if so, is there a global education an academia list/website?

- environment and ICTs: i have no list info (only website)

- indigenous peoples - alain ambrosi noted an additional focal point but i 
can't find the message, and, i have no info on lists/website

- [internet] governance - i don't know who the focal point is and could we 
have clarification on the name of the working group?
