That's right.  I also got one (probably for 
making noise about Internet governance.)  But 
that part of your letters aside, I think you are 
writing the right things.  Could perhaps add that 
it would be helpful to know who from CS was 
invited, perhaps the Bureau could ask?

At the very least we should express our concern 
about the nature of the meeting, i.e. an ITU 
organized meeting to feed into the ITU Council WG 
on WSIS, rather than being called by the WSIS 
President (what's going on?); short notice and 
short discussion time; lack of clarity about the 
status of any outcome, how any recommendations 
might be used and presented (we should be worried 
that recommendations from this small ad-hoc 
meeting might slip and become a major input to 
WSIS.)
