[WSIS CS-Plenary] Re: Application for Registration for Internet Governance Conference

Sat Jan 14 15:52:46 GMT 2006

Perhaps I was not clear in my earlier message - To my knowledge,  
there is no funding nor any support available for CS participation at  
the upcoming Internet Governance forum meeting in Geneva. I am not  
personally involved in the informal consultation meeting. Those  
wanting details should visit the following website - http:// 
www.IntGovForum.org

Let me be clear - posting pleas for "assistance" are really  
pointless, as there is NO SUPPORT FOR ANYONE YET. That fact should be  
known and well understood by all.

Personally, if funding should be found (now, or in the immediate  
future) then it should be directed to those who are active and  
contribute to the phase we are in right now. Where are we now - a  
consultation phase.... Thus those seeking and or requesting funds  
should be putting forward in this space and in the governance caucus  
list specific ideas they have for the Internet Governance Forum.

that's all for now..

regards,

Robert
