Objet : [CS Bureau] Tehran ESCAP regional wsis conference-NGOs position

Dear Friends,

We have assessed the presence of civil society in the Tehran regional 
conference for WSIS (31 May-2 June) under ESCAP, we simply do not see the 
real place for civil society and lack of support to NGOs, so we decided that

ICTRC will not attend this conference. We are trying to arrange another 
regional conference just for civil society in August in Kish islands to have

some real discussions, and we are very hopeful to provide some fellowships 
for the region. We believe the presence of civil society in this 
governmental conference will be just a lip service.

With regards

Amir
