[CS Bureau] Re: [WSIS CS-Plenary] Parallel events in Tunis

[Robert Guerra]

Please note that I, and several others have ALREADY contacted the  
Tunisian parallel event committee to inform them of the following:


1. That Event # 200  - CPSR/Human Rights watch  - Cybercrime &  
Censorship in Middle East & north africa

- is confirmed
- would NOT, like to be merged with another panel
- has been updated : revised list of speakers has been sent.

this specific panel proposal has been the subject of certain amount  
of lobbying , and its progress through the approval process is being  
tracked very closely. Would appreciate both the CSB's and CONGO's   
support to have this session be approved. I would like to point out  
that it is the ONLY session being organized by Civil society on the  
issue of Cybercrime & Censorship

To have the session rejected, well , would be seen that the  
organizers are trying to censor a particular organization and/or  
topic from being discussed. There is no need for that to happen - one  
just needs to be vigilant, and make sure that it DOES get APPROVED.



2. Event # 85 - EPIC - Privacy report -

- is confirmed
- would NOT, like to be merged with another panel
- has been updated : revised list of speakers has been sent.
