[WSIS Edu] internet governance panel organization...

Thu Aug 24 15:02:25 BST 2006

Dear Francis, Divina and all

I am sorry for the late answer, but at the moment I am swamped with working
on a major project proposal due Sept. 1st. I just looked at the requiremets
for hosting a workshop and I do not see how we will have the relevant
information ready by the end of today. First of all I have no info on
budget, theme or panellists etc. I therefore think it would be hazardous to
venture into a proposal at this stage.

However, if either of you have just a sketchy idea and think it would be
possible to submit a preliminary suggestion with more to come later, please
let me know.

I hope you feel better soon Francis.

Best regards

Jane

Hello Francis, Jane and others

i am sorry but i am travelling to remote areas with difficult e-mail
connections.
i agree on the proposal for a panel on open and educational ressources.
Francis and Jane, can I ask you both to coordinate the proposal, so that it
meets the deadline? later on we can  organize it better with the other
members of the list. You may suggest names, with the cautionionary
expression ("if available" or something in that direction) but mostly i
think it is important to specify the sub-topics to be addressed and the
intended outcome, in terms of internet governance.\
best
divina

ps: i will be consulting my e-mail more regularly in the next few days.
