<DIV>I was hoping that we would all meet (NA caucus) for a discussion before the meeting with Berlin - otherwise what would be said in the cross-continent dialogue ( we need some consensus) ? Also, we need to look at our structure / reporting / advocacy strategies going in to Phase 2. These would actually be somewhat different from the EU side.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>However, Andy if you think that this is over kill then what we can do is just set the time with Ralf. Please make sure though that you do post the information to the list for all of us on the NA caucus who want to be present, to be present.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The conference does not represent the NA caucus I just want to be clear on that. The NA caucus are those who are on our list. There is always a problem with WSIS CS on the legitimacy of those who represent the whole. We do want to ensure transparency and inclusivity.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>So, to move forward:</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>Andy - please set up a 1 hour teleconference with Berlin for the day and inform us of the time and location. Please post the "birds of a feather" activities to the NA caucus list so that people can attend. </STRONG></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>Derrick</STRONG> - if you have done work on a full agenda - those of us who are interested can meet virtually to discuss before June 13th or post it to the NA list for discussion as soon as possible. We have a good 6 weeks to have a good discussion. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I post this to the NA list as people have approached me for status on this activity.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you all for making this happen !</DIV>
