[WSIS CS-Plenary] RE ATHENS IGF 2006

[Adam Peake]

Hello.

14 July, The United Nations Secretary-General formally announced the 
convening of the inaugural meeting of the Internet Governance Forum 
to be held in Athens on the 30th October - 2nd November.

Mr Annan's letter, in all UN languages, is available from 
<http://www.intgovforum.org/> Note that he invites all stakeholders 
to  participate in the meeting.

IGF secretariat will make information about registration available 
soon (hopefully this week.)  Information for visas should be 
available when the registration process is announced.

Regarding accreditation, the intention as I understand it is to 
follow the format used for IGF (and earlier WGIG) consultations: 
people with WSIS/ECOSOC accreditation will be accredited 
automatically, other entities and persons with proven expertise and 
experience in matters related to Internet governance may apply to 
register as participants.

Thanks,

Adam
