[n_america] update on WSIS CS meeting at CTCNet Seattle, June 12

[Andy Carvin]

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to pass along some more details about the proposed North 
America civil society gathering at the CTCNet conference in Seattle next 
month.

The conference will be held at:

The DoubleTree Hotel Seattle Airport
18740 Pacific Highway South
Seattle, Washington 98188 

I'm planning to organize an informal gathering for people at CTCnet 
interested in discussing civil society's role in WSIS. The gathering will 
be what's known as a "birds of a feather session" that will take place at 
the following date, time and location:

Date: Saturday, June 12, 2004
Time: 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Location: DoubleTree Hotel Seattle Airport, Room Grand 2


Amali, will you be chairing this discussion or should I? Please let me 
know so we can work out a brief agenda. We'll need to remember that there 
will probably be a number of people in attendence who will be learning 
about WSIS for the first time, so we'll need to have some introductory 
discussion upfront.

Additionally, following the session, my organization will be hosting a 
cocktail party at the hotel at 6:30pm that night. We're still identifying 
which room it'll be in; I'll let everyone know once I find out.

If possible, please RSVP for both the WSIS discussion and the cocktail 
party so we can make sure there's enough room for everyone.

On the morning of Sunday, June 13, we're still hoping to have a brief 
online meeting with representatives from the Europe group that will be 
meeting in Berlin. We still need to finalize the time, agenda, and 
technology used to chat with each other.

Robert, Amali: should we extend this invitation to the plenary list as 
well?

thanks,
ac
