I'll inform CTCNet of our<BR>intentions to do this, and will confirm the time. The location of the<BR>meeting will probably not be known until the final program comes out, but<BR>it'll be somewhere in the main conference area. For more info on attending<BR>the conference, please visit www.ctcnet.org and click on their annual<BR>conference link. Derrick will work out an agenda for the gathering, which<BR>will last an hour. (assuming that's the length of this years birds of a<BR>feather sessions.)<BR><BR>Morning of Sunday, June 13: a subset of us will go online to meet with the<BR>Berlin group. The technology used for this particu
lar
meeting has yet to be<BR>determined. Ralf, please let us know what time you would like to meet that<BR>Sunday.<BR>-------------------------------------------------<BR>Andy Carvin<BR>Program Director<BR>EDC Center for Media & Community<BR>acarvin @ edc . org<BR>http://www.digitaldividenetwork.org<BR>-------------------------------------------------<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>To: AndyCarvin <ACARVIN@EDC.ORG>, bendrath@zedat.fu-berlin.de,<BR>dcogburn@umich.edu, northamericalist <N_AMERICA@WSIS-CS.ORG><BR>cc: mgurst@vcn.bc.ca, rguerra@cpsr.org, amalidesilva@yahoo.com<BR>bcc:<BR>Subject: Re: Virtual Link: WSIS CS meetings, Berlin, Seattle and<BR>Freistadt, 13 June<BR>Amali De Silva <AMALIDESILVA@YAHOO.COM><BR><BR>04/29/2004 10:12 AM MST<BR><FONT size=-1></FONT><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>I was hoping that we would all meet (NA caucus) for a discussion before the<BR>meeting with Berlin

otherwise what would be said in the cross-continent<BR>dialogue ( we need some consensus) ? Also, we need to look at our<BR>structure / reporting / advocacy strategies going in to Phase 2. These<BR>would actually be somewhat different from the EU side.<BR><BR>However, Andy if you think that this is over kill then what we can do is<BR>just set the time with Ralf. Please make sure though that you do post the<BR>information to the list for all of us on the NA caucus who want to be<BR>present, to be present.<BR><BR>The conference does not represent the NA caucus I just want to be clear on<BR>that. The NA caucus are those who are on our list. There is always a<BR>problem with WSIS CS on the legitimacy of those who represent the whole.

Please post the "birds of a
feather"<BR>activities to the NA caucus list so that people can attend.<BR><BR>Derrick - if you have done work on a full agenda - those of us who are<BR>interested can meet virtually to discuss before June 13th or post it to the<BR>NA list for discussion as soon as possible. We have a good 6 weeks to have<BR>a good discussion.<BR><BR>I post this to the NA list as people have approached me for status on this<BR>activity.<BR><BR>Thank you all for making this happen !<BR><BR>Amali<BR><BR>AndyCarvin <ACARVIN@EDC.ORG>wrote:<BR>I'm a little unclear if we are to have one meeting or two - are we meeting<BR>as a group at ctcnet, then going online to report to the Berlin group, or<BR>are we doing it all at once?
