we should not re-invent the wheel, can't we use the same process used  
at Prepcom 3 ? if not, I would favour a dencentralized approach - one  
where the main caucuses involved work together. Ie,  IG discussions  
should go to the IG caucus to co-ordinate with otehrs.

they should contribute in advance. We need to be open and  
transparent. The IG caucus has been working on text for the last  
several weeks now. Others who might be interested in intervening in  
IG should read that text. negotiating will go fast. So we need people  
to start discussing this now, not while there.

email the people involved and see. if they don't respond, I would by  
default have the people who intervened at PC 3.

let the caucuses decide that. CSB deals with logistics, not  
substantive issues.

indeed we need a process. But first we need to know who will be  
involved and if there will be any room for CS at all.

several others are organizing meetings outside the kram - thus,  
wanted to be clear that CSB will be meeting in UN space there.

 From what I have been told meetings in Kram are likely to go to  
midnight from the 13th on. An important item to find out is travel of  
csb members to/from Kram before the hotel shuttle service starts.

it should be the responsibility of cs bureau members to be active  
both in person and online.
