[Bureau] Re: CSB members fellowship + CTWG fellowship slots as well?

Wed Oct 15 22:51:36 BST 2003

Dear Claire, dear all,
first of all, I want to say that I find convenient the proposal of 
reserving a certain percentage
of fellowships for the CTWG, if there will be a similar allocation (and 
prioritization) for CSB members.

Secondly,  It seems to me we are neglecting  important information on the 
decision to be taken on the
fellowships assignments.  During last week of the PrepCom III  we, together 
with Alan C.,
committed ourselves to check the viability to assign fellowships to 
special/particular cases, even
if  they are not in the LDCs and developing and in transition countries lists.

Warm regards

Olinca Marino
