I was called yesterday to a short meeting with the WSIS Executive Secretariat to define further modalities for Speakers, and I refer to = the adopted PrepCom II document Note by the Executive Secretariat, Annex 1: = Time Management contained in Doc.WSIS-II/PC-2/DOC/4-E 25 February 2005. =20 1.Speakers =20 I was told that due to enormous pressures from the International Organizations, in particular from the UN Agencies who all want to speak, = in accordance with customary UN protocol some of the time given to = observers will need to take their multiple requests into consideration. However, = equal time will be given to CS and PS. As it looks now, CS will have the following slots * 1 speaker at the Opening Session, (there was no acceptance of slicing this slot) * 1 speaker at the First Plenary * 1 (or 2) speakers at Second Plenary (depending on the number = of Heads of State) * 1 (or 2) speakers at Third Plenary (depending on the number = of Heads of State) * 2 speakers at all following observer slots =20 This means 12 CS speakers for sure and alternates should be ready.=20 In addition, CS will be invited to participate in the parallel Round = Tables (with only 20 participants as 30 compared to Geneva) which will be held = in parallel and consecutively and in the three interactive High-Level = Panels, to be held probably during lunch-time (with 5 panalists). The process of identification of CS speakers should ideally be finalized by the end of PrepCom III =20 The good news is that after the discussion the WSIS ES affirmed that CS decides through its own mechanisms who will speak (in coordination with = the Secretary- General of the Summit =96Mr. Utsumi, who is now known to = accept decisions by CS) CS speakers will be called by name and accredited entity and then = identified through their self-organizing mechanism (Caucus, WG or other) It was nevertheless pointed out that the President of the Summit or his Representative, chairing the Summit, could just not call on a particular speaker if he so decides (!) =20 2.Overpasses =20 Because of some limited capacity =96 the Plenary contains some 2500 = seats =96 overpasses will be given to participants * 1200 to governments=20 * 300 to IGOs=20 * 400 to PS=20 * 600 to CS=20 =20 The CSB will be asked to work out a scheme for best possible = participation. CS overpasses will be non- nominative =20 3. Security=20 =20 Badges will be issued in the same format as in Geneva, (I asked for a = very short detection distance and pointed to the existing expertise within CS = in this field. I also requested that the ES should insist that the Host = Country agreement with the UN, particularly the section on Immunity should be = soon an accessible document) =20 4. Venue =20 Venue will be as in Geneva all under one roof. However space other than Plenary and specific areas for the ITU and other Offices will be open spaces, meaning that probably the noise level in rooms for parallel = events will also be the same as in Geneva. The adjacent exhibition area will be open to general public, not needing official badges. This area will be = under Tunisian authority. =20 More information will be sent out soon by the WSIS ES. =20 We are here following the Commission on Human Rights, see also www.ngoCHR.org <http://www.ngochr.org/> and www.unhcr.info <http://www.unhcr.info/>=20 =20 Best Renata =20 =20 =20 =20 =20 Renate Bloem=20 President of the Conference of NGOs (CONGO) 11, Avenue de la Paix CH-1202 Geneva Tel: +41 22 301 1000 Fax: +41 22 301 2000 E-mil: <mailto:rbloem@ngocongo.org> rbloem@ngocongo.org Website: <http://www.ngocongo.org> www.ngocongo.org =20 =20 =20 The Conference of NGOs (CONGO) is an international, membership = association that facilitates the participation of NGOs in United Nations debates and decisions.
