Dear all, 

 

It has been confirmed that the resumed meetings of PrepCom-3 will take in the Kram Exhibition Centre (Room of the Committee of the Whole, around 400 seats). PrepCom-3 will start meeting on 13 November at 12:00 with an organisational Plenary. 

 

The WSIS ES decided that no overpass will be instituted for that meeting, but due to the limited size of the meeting room, we were informed that only 30 seats will be reserved for CS observers in meetings we are allowed to attend (Plenary meetings and Sub-Committees).

 

In this case, we highly encourage you to consider that these 30 seats should in priority be used by CS participants who were actively involved in the previous steps of the WSIS process. You must understand that this will be the last round of negotiations, so that very high priority will be given only to those who can propose specific language for negotiation to the parts of the outcome documents under discussion.

 

The organisational aspect of this resumed PrepCom-3 in Tunis is not yet finalized. Sub-Committee A, on Internet governance, will hold some sessions, chaired by Ambassador Khan. But as regards Sub-Committee B on other Issues (political chapeau, financial mechanisms, implementation and follow-up), it is not quite sure if it would meet or if discussions would take place directly in negotiation groups. Indeed it is not yet clear if Lindall Shope-Mafole will be in Tunis for resumed PrepCom-3 to chair sub-committee B, whereas Janis Karklins already chaired discussions in negotiation groups in October on these issues and would go faster and further if he continues. However he couldn’t chair a sub-committee because of his other position of chair of WSIS II PrepComs. 

 

There will another Intergovernmental Bureau meeting in Geneva next week, and at this occasion we might have more definitive information about that.

 

Best regards,
