[CS Bureau] Re: Meeting in Tunis

Tue Feb 24 13:30:49 GMT 2004

Hi everyone,

In response to Al's suggestions:

1) Considering that people tend to forget to copy to the bureau at wsis-cs.org
list, I support Nick's call to close the bureau at geneva2003.org list, and
make a clean transfer. I've already expressed my views on this in a separate
e-mail.

2) I agree with Al that since we have not officially agreed on a quorum for
the CSB meetings that it may be necessary to consider this meeting in
February more a caucus than an official meeting. Unless online participation
and decision-making and documentation of such can be easily facilitated. So
far, I don't believe a decision has been made on online participation just
yet. I think Sally has already confirmed participation to this meeting from
Content and Themes, having provided two names?

Warm regards,

Angela
