Dear Divina and others,

I was very glad to meet you and a other memebrs of this taskforce in
Geneva and I am glad that we can continue cooperation.
Here are some proposals regarding Tunis events. I am sorry that due to my
poor knowledge of French and Spanish I will not be able to address you in
all three languages, but I hope that this will be understandable

I think that it should be presented there by as many events as it would be
possible to organize (having in mind funding and human resources), as it
is good chance to make our ideas more visible and highlight the
significance of education and research for Information Society

> 2) do we have the capacity to propose an exhibition?
I am not sure, but perhaps there will be some ideas

I propose panel discussion on subject
"Multi-stakeholder approch to ICT education and research - partnership and
synergizm"
or simple
"Multi-stakeholder partnership for ICT education and research"
In this panel could be involved participants from all sectors: academia,
media, governmental sector and intergovermental organizations, private
sector, NGO's... The idea is to present the advantage of this approach and
results (achieved or expected) of such synergy.
Here could be also presented example of DiploFoundation, Geneva-Malta,
(accredited to WSIS) and its results in multistakeholder approach to
education on Internet Governance in developing countries.

Otherwise, it may be organized a session with project presentations, in
case there would be interest for that.

I think it would be great if partnership with UNESCO could be established.
Partnership with governments also could be interesting
