[WSIS CS-Plenary] Guidelines for the attribution of overpasses - Information for caucus/WG/families focal points]

Mon Nov 7 15:01:30 GMT 2005

Dear Robert,

Thank you for the information.  I have been away and catching up on my email
and not sure if I missed some on the overpass process.    If the online
registration is used, how would this process be different from the usual
method?   Will members be sent an overpass directly, which would streamline
the process and make it easier for people to attend the plenary and high
level meetings?

Thank you for your help in making online registration available.

there are two finance groups in cs. I don't know who is on what group
- all i know is both work on finance issues @ wsis.

I would ask you and any other individuals to take a look the revised
overpass request form available at the url listed below. There is a
comment field - feel free to add comments to explain things.

regards,

Robert
