> This is a short series of updates regarding the preparations towards the

>
> *Some funding available for civil society participants*
>
> A small number of fellowships will be made available for civil society
> participants from developing countries. More information on the exact number
> of fellowship and process for attribution will be made available in the
> course of March 2008.
>
>
>
> *CS participation in the UN CSTD*
>
> The CSTD Secretariat is willing to engage into a dialogue with NGOs on how
> to increase the attractiveness of the CTSD annual session. Some elements can
> be contained in the informal written contribution that CONGO sent to the
> CSTD Intersession Panel (November 2007, see here<http://www.ngocongo.org/files/ngo_written_contribution_to_the_cstd_intersession_panel_v_2.doc>).

>
> In addition to the issue of a common understanding of the
> multi-stakeholder approach in the CSTD and the modalities for CS
> involvement, we should probably think of looking at the general format and
> content of the CSTD session, as well as the nature of its outcome, its
> follow up and its preparations.
>
>
>
> *On line preparation for the upcoming 11th session*
>
> The CSTD Secretariat just set up a mailing listserv opened to its Member
> States, and included me at CONGO and a representative of the ICC as part of
> this mailing list. (CONGO was included in the listserv without previous
> notification so that we could not liaise with you beforehand.)
>
>
>
> The three points put on for the discussion include:
>
> -          1. How to improve the impact of the Commission at national,
> regional and international levels;
>
> -          2. How to strike a balance between the Commission's new and
> traditional mandates;
>
> -          3. Organization of work for the 11th session of the CSTD.
>
>
>
> I will be happy to compile without altering your comments on these 3 sets
> of issues and forward it to this CSTD members' listserv.
>
>
>
> Note that the provisional agenda of the CSTD 11th session is attached to
> this e-mail. Basically, the three main issues for discussion will be:
>
> -          review of the progress made in the implementation of, and
> follow-up to the outcomes of WSIS at regional and international levels;
>
> -          substantive theme on WSIS follow up: "*Development-oriented
> policies for socio-economic inclusive information society, including access,
> infrastructure and an enabling environment*"
>
> -          substantive theme on science and technology mandate: "*Science,
> technology and engineering for innovation and capacity-building in education
> and research*"
>
>
>
> More information coming soon.
