[WSIS CS-Plenary] Re: GAID - Panel discussion during UN ECOSOC Session - 5 July 2007

[Dr. Francis MUGUET]

Dear Bill and Philippe

Thanks for pointing this out.
The URL of this event is
http://www.un-gaid.org/en/node/704

Unfortunately, however, this announcement is made much too lately
to allow concerned WSIS Civil Society,
to be able to attend this interesting meeting,
except for the happy few based in Geneva or those
few WSIS stakeholders that are also attending
this ECOSOC session
that does not deal
directly with Information Society.

Best regards

Francis
