[WSIS CS-Plenary] Overpasses for NA/EU region - was Re: caucus francophone

[Robert Guerra]

caucus francophone...? I don't think it's a real caucus. At least it  
hasn't presented it's credentials to the plenary group nor figured in  
any of the discussions.

Are there any Canadians involved, as no doubt they would be  
interested in making sure any Francophone caucus has the  
representation of groups from Quebec, New Brunswick, which are  
canadian provinces that are members of "la francophonie"

If in fact the group is legit (which they will have to prove), as the  
focal point for north america & europe, please have the group contact  
me.

For overpasses, the proposed procedure I hope to announce for the  
region is as follows:

- I will ask people who come from the North American and European  
region who don't belong to a thematic caucus or working group to send  
me an email to - wsis at privaterra.org-  requesting they wish an  
overpass. The automated system will generate a receipt, and place  
their name in a queue.

- I will compile the list of requests, and will allocate the approx  
30 overpasses allotted to the north american & european region based  
on the following (proposed) criteria :


- involvement in the wsis process to-date (on and/or offline)
- involvement in information society issues at international,  
regional, national & local level
- recommendations by those involved in the wsis process to-date (on  
and offline)


To be honest, I haven't heard of the group you mention at all. As  
such, they will be low on the list - likely not able to get any  
overpasses alloted for the region.

As their name suggests they are involved in "disabled" issues, I  
would recommend they contact the disabilities caucus - who have their  
own process in place . That being said, it is likely that they have  
already assigned all the passes they have.




regards,

Robert
