there.</DIV>

anyone else have any updates on this?</DIV>

<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: trebuchet ms,sans-serif" class=gmail_default>I was
involved with one proposal that received its rejection letter this week. In
fact, the response was ambiguous whether it was just this specific proposal
that failed, or whether UNESCO had decided not to proceed at all with the
project.</DIV>

<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: trebuchet ms,sans-serif" class=gmail_default>I will
be interesting to see who, if anyone, gets the contract. Sometimes, even in an
"open" bidding process, the winner is known before the RFP is published.

<DIV dir=ltr>People,
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I apologize for huge delay in this matter - studying a possible
consortium among chapter delegates to make a proposal in UNESCO's RFP on
Internet governance.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>We would need to put together a proposal in zero time now - the
deadline is awfully close. We have four days. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>My proposed action right now is to evaluate if we still can make it. I
need the CVs of all who will actually take part and a mention of what
function you would undertake in the project (policy analysis, information
gathering, report drafting, project management, etc.; costs associated with
your participation; and a declaration of interest that allows to decide
whether there is any conflict with ISOC, your Chapter, or other that would
need to be considered.)</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>ISOC staff has kindly provided a mailing list which I will populate
with those willing to participate. I recognize that this is very late stage
- travel and its consequences took a toll - and that in the next 48 hours we
could also have to declare a no-go. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Apologies again and also THANKS to those who have
volunteered.</DIV><SPAN class=HOEnZb><FONT color=#888888>
