Renate:
Witness (a WSIS accredited NGO , asked me to submit the following
fellowship request to you. I have sent this now, several times,
however the individual in question does not seem to appear on any of
the lists you have sent us.
This might be due to the fact that the fellowship form was filled in
- too quickly . Wanting to get the name and form in on time neither I
nor Witness realized that the organization name listed on the form
was not Witness. Please, accept our apologies for this oversight. I
thus, would ask that the information you have on Steve Lamony from
Uganda be corrected and/or revised so that he is listed as being a
member of the delegation from - WITNESS (who received accreditation
at WSIS PC 3 / Tunis phase).
Please keep me updated on this.
