[WSIS CS-Plenary] CSTD Intersession Panel - 28-30/11/07

[CONGO WSIS - Philippe Dam]

Dear all, 

 

Find attached the very draft provisional programme of the Kuala Lumpur CSTD
intersession Panel. In accordance with the multi-year programme of work
adopted at the 10th session, the Panel will address:

            

-          Science, technology and engineering for innovation and
capacity-building in education and research;

 

-          Development-oriented policies for socio-economic inclusive
information society, including access, infrastructure and an enabling
environment (This is related to the WSIS follow up mandate of the CSTD).

 

On each of the two themes, the discussion will be based on the issue papers
prepared by the CSTD Secretariat - to be circulated shortly - and on one or
two presentations, followed by an interactive discussion. The outcomes of
this intersession panel will feed into the up coming 11th session of the
CSTD. See on the CSTD
<http://www.unctad.org/Templates/Meeting.asp?intItemID=2068&lang=1&m=13906&y
ear=2007&month=11>  website. 

We need to ensure that there would be good CS discussants participating in
this Panel and good CS contributions.

 

Let me remind you that an up-dated calendar of events related to post WSIS
is available at http://www.csbureau.info/posttunis.htm. 

 

More information soon. 

 

Best regards, 

 

Philippe
