[governance] AW: Re: [WSIS CS-Plenary] message from Utsumi -internet gov mtg on 26-27 Feb in Geneva

[AIZU]

What would be our best mode to participate ITU workshop as our governance caucus?

As Jeanette cannot attend, perhaps Adam could so that one of our possible new
coordinators would also be there.   I support him to go and will try to push.

But in case Adam cannot, too, which might be the case,  I would be happy to try
and squeeze time to attend and report back to the constituency (I can be on 
the way
to Rome for ICANN).

I think it's important that we have someone from Asia Pacific there, in addition
to folks from Europe,  who has been involved in these issues, and we are in
the early stages of planning some  Asia Pacific region outreach on this
governance work.

We are organizing a meeting at coming APRICOT in Kuala Lumpur, end of Feb
just before ITU/ICANN meetings.

ICANN ALAC also plans to organize WSIS workshop in Rome.

best,

izumi

PS. ITU DG is "Utusmi", not "Itsumi" - and I am "izumi" (as you know),
please do not mix me up with him ... ;-)
