[WSIS CS-Plenary] Workshops at coming WSIS events

[Robert Guerra]

Tijani et al.


There were numerous discussions held during the recently prepcom on 
ideas on how to build on the existing orientation session meeting to 
something more complete and strategic that would allow for CS to 
learn not only about the process, but also the positions being put 
forward by all sides.

I hope this concept gets developed before the next meeting...it would 
be good to get started soon and not leave it till days before the 
actual event itself.

In terms of topics - i'd like to second the call to have a session on 
Internet Governance and would like to put forward one or more 
sessions on Tunisia.  I for one would very much appreciate knowing 
from the locals detailing information as to where to stay, what costs 
are like and how to move around the city and country in safe and cost 
effective fashion.

PrepCom 2 was perceived by many to have a large Tunisian presence. 
Despite all the interventions   I left Geneva with few if any 
specific details  about the specifics about Tunis and the summit. I 
would thus hope that our Tunisian colleagues could help organize an 
information session with maps on how to get around, consular and 
diplomatic contacts and a  list of (free) wifi access points would be 
great to organize for the coming prepcom in Sept.


regards

Robert
