[Bureau] Re: Minutes from PrepCom3

[Adam Peake]

Thanks very much for the minutes.

Given the concern over access to the 2nd Hall, could someone who was 
at the Bureau meeting on Sept. 25 please clarify the comments from 
the minutes below:

(from Minutes of the Civil Society Bureau Meeting, 25 September 2003)

The Chairperson introduced the delegates from the Swiss Secretariat 
who prepared a comprehensive presentation on logistical arrangements 
during the Summit.  Summit logistics are the responsibility of MCI 
GROUP SA, Rue de Lyon 75 - P.O. Box 502, 1211 Geneva 13 ­ 
Switzerland, Phone +41 (0)22 339 9629, Fax  +41 (0)22 339 9621. 
Contact person is Laurence MOE and Richard TORRIANI, Phone +41 (0) 22 
339 9621, Fax +41 (22) 339 96, E-mail: 
richard.torriani at mci-group.com.  MCI provided information on the 
physical organization of the Palexpo site, access to the site (passes 
and badges), transportation, Hotels, etc.

Regarding civil society access to secure zones, MCI confirmed that 
500 passes would be attributed, to be handed to one focal point per 
organization who will ensure distribution to persons allowed to enter 
security zones ­ each accredited organization would receive 1 to 3 
passes to enter security zones.  Regarding logistical arrangements 
for ICT4D platform, the space is distributed between governments and 
civil society entities and equipment will include tables, chairs and 
WiFi. For further information on the ICT4D platform, contact Otto 
FREI at otto.frei at ict4d.org.

What are the "secure zones", halls 2 and 3?
500 passes?
1 to 3 passes for each accredited organization?  (This is not what 
I've been given to understand by the ITU/WSIS Accreditation and 
Registration Service.)

Thanks,

Adam

BTW -- what's the difference between the lists <bureau at wsis-cs.org> 
and <bureau at geneva2003.org>?
