>
>Hi,
>
>60 workshops proposals have been submitted.  They can be found at:
>http://info.intgovforum.org/wsl2.php
>
>They have been grouped into 7 categories: the 5 
>thematic areas, the cross cutting issue of 
>development and capacity building, and other.
>
>This is more then available space and time will 
>allow for.  There is an opportunity for 
>cooperation and merging before any decisions 
>need to be made on which workshops get 
>scheduled.  As was stated in the call: 
>³organizers of workshops are, therefore, 
>expected to work with others who submit 
>proposals on the same theme. A willingness to 
>merge proposals is a requirement.²  So, now is 
>the time.
>
>Those who are able/willing to merge are asked to 
>notify the secretariat by 22 July.
>
>Decision on scheduling will be made after 31 
>July. This is the deadline for proposals for 
>Open Forums, Best Practice Forums and Dynamic 
>Coalitions. Depending on the number of requests 
>for these sessions, there may be a reallocation 
>of scheduling slot to allow for more workshops, 
>but I expect that there will also be many 
>proposal for these other sessions, so I don't 
>expect any major shift in slot availability.
>
>I also understand that problems with submission 
>are being worked on, and all those who proposed 
>workshops will be able to access the area for 
>editing in time.
