[WSIS CS-Plenary] Re: Upcoming WSIS Events > Asia regional meeting in Tehran: new dates

[Al Alegre]

> 25-27 May, Tehran, Iran - WSIS Asia Regional meeting [venue to be
confirmed]

Hi

Just came from a UNDP APDIP meeting on internet governance last Saturday,
where a Deputy Minister Masoud Shafiee of the Iranian Ministry of ICT, was
present...

He confirmed the Asia Pacific High Level Ministerial Meeting on WSIS
organized by UN ESCAP is pushing through in Tehran, Iran; but that the
meeting has been moved to the following dates: 29 May to 2 June 2005...

Thanks
Al Alegre
