[Media Caucus] Summit questions /

[Tracey Naughton]

Hello All,

>From a very cold Mongolia.

Thanks Rony for the speech by Shashi Tharoor. Lets hope that it was our
intervention that inspired the change between his article in the Int. Herald
Tribune and this speech.

I am attaching a note from the Office of the High Commissioner for Human
Rights on the Information Society in which he addresses freedom of
expression.

Can we have some comment on the following questions that I want to engage in
the civil society system on........

1. Who in the Media Caucus will make it to PrepCom 3 a. Civil society
participation, especially from the south will be challenged as there is no
support available. I am trying to get there.

2. Within the Civil Society structure we need to make a bid for a media
Caucus seat inside the Summit - agree?

3. Do we want to plan a press conference to take place at the Summit> This
can be arranged in advance by the organisers. Comment?

4. Shall we submit name/s of people to speak at the Round tables?
Suggestions?

5. There is a request out for input to the 'alternate' declaration being
drafted as a stand by civil society position. I have consistently let the
Content and Themes group know to use our agreed text. Do we want to work on
something else that would have a home in a more visionary declaration?

Best
