(sorry for not having shared this earlier). The meeting will take place from 15 to 18, in the conference room 2 (Edificio del Jardim norte ???) <br> <br>The invitation letter to permanent missions (spanish version attached), is interesting because it indicates that the meeting is open not only to accredited entities to the World Summit on the Information society, but also to "institutions and persons with demonstrated knowledge and experience in issues related to the Internet Governance Forum" (excuse my rough translation ...). I suppose this means that any participant in the IGF meetings is allowed to attend. The indicated telephone number for DESA is : (1) 212 963 1234.<br> <br>I do not know how widely this invitation has been circulated, but the presence of actors on this list who can be in New York would certainly be useful (given the late date, this probably means mostly US-based actors). This will be the first opportunity to hear the public presentation by DESA and the Assistant Secretary General Sha, of the next steps in preparation of the future discussions in ECOSOC and UN GA regarding the continuation of the IGF. <br> <br>The European Union will actively participate and reiterate support for the continuation of the IGF in its Tunis mandate for at least another period of five years. <br><br>Feedback from people that will be attending is highly welcome. <br> <br>Apologies again for not having thought of sharing this on the list earlier. <br><br>Best<br><br>Bertrand <br><br><br><br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>____________________<br>Bertrand de La Chapelle<br>Délégué Spécial pour la Société de l'Information / Special Envoy for the Information Society<br> Ministère des Affaires Etrangères et Européennes/ French Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs<br>Tel : +33 (0)6 11 88 33 32<br><br>"Le plus beau métier des hommes, c'est d'unir les hommes" Antoine de Saint Exupéry<br> ("there is no greater mission for humans than uniting humans")<br> <span><20100317 DESA Reunión informativfa del SG Adjunto de Atos Económicos y Sociales.TIF></span>____________________________________________________________<br>You received this message as a subscriber on the list:<br> <a href="mailto:governance@lists.cpsr.org">governance@lists.cpsr.org</a><br>To be removed from the list, send any message to:<br> <a href="mailto:governance-unsubscribe@lists.cpsr.org">governance-unsubscribe@lists.cpsr.org</a><br><br>For all list information and functions, see:<br> <a href="http://lists.cpsr.org/lists/info/governance">http://lists.cpsr.org/lists/info/governance</a><br><br>Translate this email: <a href="http://translate.google.com/translate_t">http://translate.google.com/translate_t</a></blockquote></div><br></div></div></blockquote></div><br></body></html>
