Francis:

The discussion on follow-up and implementation was started at Prepcom  
2 in Feb. As the negotiations did not reach a conclusion, the  
discussion will be continued at PC 3. This is stated in the "Draft  
decision of PrepCom 2".

I am including a text version below with annotations on where one can  
find a list of all the documents that will be negotiated at PC 3. As  
you can see, almost everything is still up for negotiation. Meaning,  
it will be a challenge to get through all of it in the 10 days we have.

regards

Robert

PrepCom 2 of the Tunis Phase of the World Summit on the Information

PrepCom-2 and PrepCom-3:

1. The current text of chapter two of the Operational Part (Financing  
Mechanisms), as it stands at the conclusion of PrepCom-2, will be  
forwarded directly to PrepCom-3.

3. The Group of Friends of the Chair (GFC) will continue to draft  
proposals for chapters one (Implementation Mechanisms) and four (The  
Way Ahead) of the Operational Part. These new proposals will be in  
addition to the written comments and proposals presented during the  
first reading on 21 February, contained in the compilation documents  
on chapter one (DT-2 Rev. 1) and chapter four (DT-5) respectively.  
The above-mentioned documents will be forwarded to PrepCom-3, where a  
decision on use of the new proposals will be taken. All stakeholders  
are invited to continue making contributions to chapters one and  
four. The modalities of composition and the methods of work of the  
Group of Friends of the Chair will be defined by the Bureau, in  
consultation with the regional groups.
