[WSIS CS-Plenary] Contact Note and Best Wishes.

[Rik Panganiban]

Dear Colleague,

You can go find accreditation information for the WSIS here: 

      http://www.itu.int/wsis/participation/accreditation/cs.html

Note that NGOs in Consultative Status with ECOSOC only have to send an "expression of interest" form to the WSIS secretariat to be accredited.  if you were accredited to WSIS-I, you are still accredited to WSIS Phase II.  You will still need to register for particular meetings you are interested in attending, though.

Regards,

Rik Panganiban
CONGO

Subject: [WSIS CS-Plenary] Contact Note and  Best Wishes.

Greetings:

I write to congratulate you and the Committee for all the good works related to WSIS progress, and to ask about some procedural matters connected with WSIS.  I believe that ldmf at att.net is on this email list but can you please check; and we would like to add the Communications Coordination for the U.N. (NGO estb. 1946) to the e-list as well, at cccun at att.net .   Also to the Civil Society email Lists or directions on how to join up.

We wish also to work to accredit the CCC/UN to WSIS as I do not see it on the list online, but perhaps you can point me to other materials.  

I wrote about this matter before participating in WSIS-I in Geneva, but I believe to another address, and we likely need to do a formal application and will appreciate a link to forms and any other information needed.

I will be very pleased to prepare any needed applications or statements of interest and qualification.

We thank you very much for directions in these matters, and send very best wishes and appreciation,

LDMF.
