  This is to provide you some information regarding the up coming 2nd meeting of the UN GAID Strategy Council meeting, taking place on 27-28 February 2007 in Santa Clara (CA / USA). 
   
  More information is available on 
  - Website of the UN Global Alliance for ICTs and Development (http://www.un-gaid.org/);
  - Webpage of the up-coming Strategy Council meeting (http://www.intelcorpevents.com/un/).
   
  This meeting is open for registration to the members of the GAID Strategy Council and to the Panel of High-Level Advisors.

  The final agenda of the strategy will be circulated soon, but a preliminary agenda is already available on line. 
   
  Day 1: GAID Strategy Council and GAID Steering Committee meetings
  (The main focus will be on the implementation of the GAID Business plan and the consideration of the GAID activity report).
   
  Day 2: UN Meets Silicon Valley
  (The main objective of this event is to provide a space for networking and exchange with actors involved in GAID related activities).
   
  A list of participants in this the day 2 events will be circulated soon. In particular, we would be happy if some of you could recommend us some relevant CS persons located around Santa Clara (CA / USA) who should be considered participating in this gathering of ICT and Development exercise.
   
  Among our priority issues to be raised during this Strategy Council and Steering Committee meetings, we will address the following:
   
  -          Need to improve information sharing devices about GAID related initiatives on the main GAID website (including how to join and contribute to these multi-stakeholder initiatives);
   
  -          Having more discussion on the interactions between the GAID and other ICT related UN processes (including CSTD, ALF meetings, UNGIS, 
);
   
  -          Future steps for the development of additional Communities of Expertise.
   
  We will provide you with further details on the agenda and the issues to be discussed during this Strategy Council meeting. Please send us some comments / questions / contributions that could be relayed by CONGO during the meeting (wsis at ngocongo.org).
   
  All the best,
