[Chapter-delegates] Conference Call - Chapter input invited for the OECD "Future of the Internet Economy" Ministerial Conference

[Anne Lord]

Dear Colleagues,

Your valuable input is requested.

ISOC has been invited by the OECD to co-ordinate the technical  
community's participation in the preparatory process of the 2008  
Ministerial Conference, "The Future of the Internet Economy" which  
will take place in Seoul, South Korea 17-18 June 2008.  ISOC will  
also be organising the "Technical Communities Forum" that will be  
held in Seoul the day before the conference. This Forum will be an  
opportunity for the Technical Community to stress issues of  
importance within the three themes that will be discussed by the  
Ministers: creativity, confidence and convergence.

This is an invitation to collaborate with the Policy team to help  
shape the agenda for the Ministerial's conference and to contribute  
to decisions on how to organise and conduct the Technical Community  
forum.  Please see: http://www.oecd.org/dataoecd/63/38/38363529.pdf  
for a concise digest of the purpose and objectives of the meeting.

You are invited to participate in the following ways:

1) Feedback on the draft Agenda

You are invited to provide comments and feedback on the content and  
structure of the attached draft agenda at the end of this mail for  
the Ministerial conference. Please email feedback to Constance  
Bommelaer at <bommelaer at isoc.org>.

2) Conference call

You are invited to participate in a Chapter's conference to call to:

a) Share feedback received on the draft agenda and discuss any  
additional input;

b) Discuss the preliminary structure of the Technical Committee Forum  
meeting and speaking opportunities;

c) Solicit additional input from Chapter delegates on the meeting  
content/structure

d) Gather interest in participation opportunities in the Technical  
Community Forum meeting (speaking slots, etc.)

To accommodate the differences in times around the globe, there will  
be two conference calls:

a) Call 1 -  Thursday September 27th UTC 10.30
b) Call 2 -  Thursday September 27th UTC 21.00

Constance will chair the call. If you would like to participate in a  
conference call, please email me <lord at isoc.org> off list and  
indicate which call you will participate in.  Details of how to join  
the conference call will be sent out nearer the call date to those

We look forward to Chapter participation in this important work.

Best wishes,
