Dear all, 

 

This is just a few information before the opening of WSIS PrepCom-3 and the CS Orientation Session we organise tomorrow. You will find enclosed a short practical kit to get prepared for PrepCom-3 (Contact information, access to the UN, badging, and civil society). In addition there is a map of the UN and ITU, including the location of the ITU Building Tower.

 

 

 

We also wanted to inform the Plenary and to clarify the modalities for the attribution of the ITU Fellowships for Civil Society for PrepCom-3. The WSIS Executive Secretariat was informed very late of the final available funding for CS fellowships. Further to a meeting with the WSIS (24 August), we were provided with a short list of applicants, including all valid requests in accordance with the ITU principles, for consideration to the Civil Society Bureau. 

 

A consultation was held among the CS Members which recommended 10 names among the short-listed applicants, taking into account the need of geographical representation, gender balance. Selected applicants were candidates from the LDCs, or members of Civil Society Structures who were very much involved in the previous stages of the WSIS process from developing countries. 

 

The CS Bureau submitted its recommendation as follows:

 

“Ms

Tangu Nyirenda

Africa (Zambia)

Oneworld International Foundation

Mr

R. SALIM 

Asia (Bangladesh)

Bangladesh Friendship Education Society

Mr

T. AMEGNIKPO

Africa (Togo)

ALSD

Mr

R. AHM BAZLUR

Asia (Bangladesh)

Bangladesh NGO Network Radio & Communication

Mr

S.C. KABANGE

Africa (Zambia)

Media Institute of Southern Africa

Mr

Mballo Moussa

Africa (Senegal)

Union des Associations des Elus Locaux

Robert Sagun

Philippines (Asia)

Youth Caucus

Olinca Marino

LAC (Mexico)

Latin America 

Tracey Naughton

Africa (South Africa)

Media  

Magaly Pazello

LAC (Brazil)

Gender 

Sohrab Razagghi

Middle East (Iran)

Western Asia And The Middle East  

If more fellowships are available, we proposed the WSIS ES to select one or more of these applicants who received the same number of recommendations:

Delphine Nana

Tijani Ben Jemaa 

Olivier Nana Nzepa”

 

 

The WSIS ES accepted this recommendation on 5 September, but only amended the recommended list so that it matches with the ITU conditions (the ITU could not give 2 fellowships to participants from the same country):

R. Salim (Bangladesh)

Mballa Moussa (Senegal) 

R. Amegnikpo (Togo) 

S.C. Kabenge (Zambia / Namibia)

Robert Sagun (Youth Caucus)

Olinca Marino (Latin America)

Tracey Naughton (Media)

Magaly Pazello (Gender)

Sohrab Razagghi (Middle East and Western Asia)

Delphine Nana (Africa)

 

 

At the very last moment, we were informed by the WSIS ES that two additional fellowships would be attributed, but due to the very short time before PerepCom-3, it was practically not possible to consult the CS Bureau, so that the decision on those two last fellowships was taken by the WSIS alone.

 

Thank you for your intension and best regards,
