[WSIS CS-Plenary] Reminder - Accreditation deadline - 8 August 2005

[Adam Peake]

Lisa's having problems posting to the list, so while we sort out I'm 
forwarding this for her.

(and I agree with her note: go ahead and try to get accredited, 
explain your situation and hope the Secretariat can help.)
