> The kit in question would  include:
>
> * Short biographies and pictures of  the bureau members - that way people

> * Updated contact information - so people can get in touch with us
> * Perhaps a short description of the NGO and/or organization we are with
> * Set of usefull links for people to visit

> The idea of pictures is one that I raised in Cape Town, and we agreed? 
> Viola also took pictures, or i think she did?

> Here are some sites to look at:
>
> NGLS's WSIS site (section on the CSB)
> http://www.un-ngls.org/wsis--csb.htm
>
> The "beta" site that I have placed online and am "waiting" comments from 
> the bureau members..
> http://www.wsis-csb.org/
>
> - this site can allow for each individual bureau members manage their own 
> content. One will be able to update your section anything, and can include 
> modern functionality such as RSS feeds, blog, wiki and file depository.
> - it can also accept RSS feeds from other sites
>   (http://www.wsis-csb.org/news/news-en/)
>
> I prefer the later as it's what i'm offering, it's a bit more modern then 
> the NGLS site. I won't say more.

>
> Just, as i mentioned earlier - it would be good to have things READY 
> BEFORE the prepcom
