[CS Bureau] TR: CSB recommendation for CS fellowships at PC-3

[t.akinsanmi at schoolnetafrica.org]

Thanks Phillipe,

To fully clarify, Robert has been actively participating in the process from
prepcom 1 of phase 1 and recognising the core focus and necessity to have him
on board physically at the Prepcom 3, I personally did not put in an aplication
at all in view of te fact that I would be in europe at the same time as well.

Cheers and thanks.

Titi

> We discussed on Friday with Charles Geiger and Moncef Achour from WSIS ES.
> The arrangement would be that the ITU would keep the other CSB selected

> 
> Since 4 CSB Members recommended Titlayo for fellowship, and noting that in a

> 
> Would you support Robert Sagun’s application, as a CS structure member from
> an Asia-Pacific developing country, instead of Titi?
> 
>  
> 
> We will clarify this situation and let you know as soon as possible.
