FW: [CS Bureau] Figuring out a time to meet and agenda

Sun Nov 13 13:42:42 GMT 2005

Dear Renate,

Yup people can meet if they want, but it will not be a CSB meeting. 
Today is a v ery busy day day, people is still arriving, there are 
people like me hat is a CSB member but is doing lobbying work what is 
crucial as the documents are on negotiations and it is the reason why we 
are here. We are not following up the WSISmprocesso to meet people, or 
travel to tunisia. We came here to follow the negotiations up.

On the other hand I couldn't find out what is urgent in the agenda, 
please let you know what exactly is urgent and why. If we have a quorum 
I propose to move this CSB meeting for tomorrow lunch time from 12:00 to 
13:00. If we not a quorum, my propose is to meet at lunch time tomorrow 
just to talk about what is very very urgent. Decisions can be agreed by 
email.
