[CS Bureau] Information on bureau Focal points

[Robert Guerra]

Renata:


Do you think that the information about the CSB on the geneva2003.org 
site is sufficient? i surely don't, and neither do the increasing # of 
individuals who are contacting me on information about the CSB.

In fact, there isn't too much info on the geneva2003.org site on the 
bureau members, if you check - a short bio blurb isn't there, neither is 
what countries they are from, what languages they understand not what 
efforts (if any) there are doing to perform the communications, outreach 
and liaison role which CSB members must do.



I have been getting a steady # of requests on more information on the 
bureau, who is that the people are, how the bureau was setup, how it is 
structured, and how it  builds (or not) on precedent from other fora (un 
summits, and other UN organizations). These are important questions that 
need to be answered - for doing so, not only makes us more transparent, 
but allows those in the future to know what we did and possibly build on 
it for future UN meetings and/or summits.


I honestly don't have the time to go google everyone who's a CSB member 
and compile that in an easy to understand table for all. Is it not 
easier, less time consuming and more accurate to just ask all csb 
members to submit a small blurb?

regards

Robert
