<div>Dear Alejandra,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>As Adam mentionned, the working group B on follow-up will be in the same situation as the IG caucus, at least during the PrepCom phase where the pace will be intense. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Normally, the two sub-committees should not be meeting at the same time (given the limited human resources of certain small delegations), but there is a great likelyhood that small drafting groups will be set in the intervals.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>When do you expect to have confirmation of the availability of the facilities for civil society during the PrepCom ?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The key logistical elements will be :</div>
<div>- power cables for laptops (numerous outlets)</div>
<div>- the printers</div>
<div>- the photocopier</div>
<div>- wifi access (any final information on whether it will be free or not ?)</div>
<div> </div>

<br>Subject: RE: [CS Bureau] Working Space for Civil Society at the Kram Center<br><br><br>Dear George,<br><br><br><br>As said in my previous e-mail we will have 7 offices available; so giving an<br>office to the IG caucus during PrepCom 3 can be done, I can see that every
<br>body agrees. I think your idea of sharing offices within caucuses can be<br>done. Please let me know and we can see how can we arrange this, but please<br>make sure your caucus really need this working space at the time request.
