Subject: [WSIS CS-Plenary] Consultation on CSTD - Tuesday 13 February (13:30-15:00)
Message-ID: <200702071911.l17JAr9I009550@smtp1.infomaniak.ch>

Dear all, 

 

This is a preliminary up date on the preparation of the briefing and
consultation meeting on the 10th session of CSTD (Room XXIV, Palais des
Nations). It will take place on Tuesday 13 February 2007 during lunchtime
(13:30-15:00). Participation will be open mainly to CS entities and to the
Private Sector. As previously mentioned, two issues will be addressed:

 

-          Briefing on the preparations for the up coming cluster of WSIS
related events (CSTD and ALF meetings, May 2007)

-          Informal Consultation on the multi-year work programme and the
methods of work of the CSTD.

 

Participation will be open to all CS participants in the CSTD. For most of
you, the registration to the IGF stock taking will allow you to access this
meeting. For the other ones, we will make sure that you will be provided a
badge (contact us: wsis@ngocongo.org). 

 

I think we should come to this briefing with some common understanding of
the message we want to deliver to the CSTD Secretariat (and to some of the
member States representatives who might pop in during the meeting) about the
points which will be addressed. 

 

This includes the following main issues:

 

-          Preparation for the up coming 10th session of the CSTD and of the
WSIS related cluster of events;

For your information, the CSTD session will be held on 21-25 May;
additionally some 8 ALF meetings might be held around that session. More
information will follow. 

Up dated calendar: http://www.csbureau.info/posttunis.htm 

 

-          Modalities for NGO/CS participation in the CSTD;

 

-          Other CSTD working methods for the follow up to WSIS (including
reporting activities and relationship with other UN entities); 

 

-          Multi-year programme of work of the CSTD.

Based on the ECOSOC
<http://www.un.org/docs/ecosoc/documents/2006/resolutions/Resolution%202006-
46.pdf>  resolution renewing the CSTD mandate in July 2006, the Commission
will work through biennial action cycle. The programme of work is still to
be determined and the CSTD Panel in Paris (6-8 Nov. 2006) addressed this
issue (see report of the CSTD Panel,
http://www.unctad.org/sections/dite_dir/docs/dite_pcbb_stdev0045_en.pdf,
read in particular pages 15-16). 

 

Please send us your contributions and comments on these issues. We will come
back to you with more details.

All the best,

I live 40 miles away, have registered for Day 2, which is open.  I'm
without email from Friday February 9 until the meeting February 28 -
if there's anything this group would like said, please let me know by
Friday.  I expect exchanges will be informal, at the lunch, and I
usually quietly stress open and inclusive activities.

Dear all, 

 

Just to complete my previous message, it seems that the CSTD Secretariat is
still rather flexible and open on the various issues they want to discuss
with NGOs on next Tuesday, in particular for the way to organise the CSTD
Multi-Year programme of work, working methods and reporting activities on
WSIS follow-up to the CSTD. There is therefore some good ground to influence
and make proposals in this regard during this consultation, which might also
serve as a brainstorming involving the CSTD Secretariat. 

 

The ECOSOC is actually currently meeting for its organisation session in New
York, with the view to finalize its previously unfinished business. As
regards WSIS related issues, it particularly includes:

-          Finalization of the transitional measure for the participation of
WSIS accredited NGOs in the next two sessions of the CSTD (2007-2008);

-          Election of the additional 10 members of the CSTD;

-          Adoption of the report of the 9
<http://stdev.unctad.org/docs/report9.doc> th session of the CSTD (May
2006), including its proposed draft decision for adoption of the Council.

Decisions on those three points are expected by tomorrow. 

 

As regards the multi-year programme of work of the CSTD, relevant paragraph
of ECOSOC
<http://www.un.org/docs/ecosoc/documents/2006/resolutions/Resolution%202006-
46.pdf>  Resolution 2006/46 provide that ?the Commission shall continue
working on the basis of biennial action cycles? (para. 9) and that ?at its
next session the Commission shall develop its agenda and a multi-year work
programme? (para. 10). Did anybody start drafting some elements on this
issue? 

 

Same question regarding the reporting activities to the CSTD. What would be
the best way to inform the Commission about the progresses of implementation
in a comprehensive manner? How to prepare conclusions on ?obstacles and
constraints encountered, actions and initiatives to overcome them?
(para.6-b)? 

 

CONGO is ready to start drafting and to share with you some points on the
inclusion of NGOs in the next CSTD sessions. We would still be happy to get
some initial views from you.

 

All the best,

Objet : [WSIS CS-Plenary] Consultation on CSTD - Tuesday 13 February
(13:30-15:00)

 

Dear all, 

 

This is a preliminary up date on the preparation of the briefing and
consultation meeting on the 10th session of CSTD (Room XXIV, Palais des
Nations). It will take place on Tuesday 13 February 2007 during lunchtime
(13:30-15:00). Participation will be open mainly to CS entities and to the

Participation will be open to all CS participants in the CSTD. For most of
you, the registration to the IGF stock taking will allow you to access this
meeting. For the other ones, we will make sure that you will be provided a
badge (contact us: wsis@ngocongo.org). 

 

I think we should come to this briefing with some common understanding of
the message we want to deliver to the CSTD Secretariat (and to some of the
member States representatives who might pop in during the meeting) about the
points which will be addressed. 

 

This includes the following main issues:

 

-          Preparation for the up coming 10th session of the CSTD and of the
WSIS related cluster of events;

For your information, the CSTD session will be held on 21-25 May;
additionally some 8 ALF meetings might be held around that session. More
information will follow. 

Up dated calendar: http://www.csbureau.info/posttunis.htm 

 

-          Modalities for NGO/CS participation in the CSTD;

 

-          Other CSTD working methods for the follow up to WSIS (including
reporting activities and relationship with other UN entities); 

 

-          Multi-year programme of work of the CSTD.

Based on the ECOSOC
<http://www.un.org/docs/ecosoc/documents/2006/resolutions/Resolution%202006-
46.pdf>  resolution renewing the CSTD mandate in July 2006, the Commission
will work through biennial action cycle. The programme of work is still to
be determined and the CSTD Panel in Paris (6-8 Nov. 2006) addressed this
issue (see report of the CSTD Panel,
http://www.unctad.org/sections/dite_dir/docs/dite_pcbb_stdev0045_en.pdf,
read in particular pages 15-16). 

 

Please send us your contributions and comments on these issues. We will come
back to you with more details.

All the best,

Thanks Philippe, and apologies for responding just a day before the meeting.
At the CSTD at its inter-sessional at Paris in November 2006, Renate and I
did discuss at length the issues that we will like to push. However, I will
still reiterate some points for your consideration to be presented at the
CSTD consultations. 

 

1.	That CSTD does change its composition, mandate etc suitably and
sufficiently to accommodate the IS (information society) agenda. And that
fulfilling this new role calls for some fundamental changes in CSTD
functioning, including moving from an expertise based to a more political
role, which may keep expanding in the future. 

 

2.	That the WSIS mandated role of WSIS system wide follow up should be
adopted and followed in letter and spirit. And among other things it will
require interface with and obtaining/ requesting reports form all UN
entities and other bodies which are doing WSIS follow up along different
action lines and themes. This process should be formalized at the
forth-coming annual meeting of the CSTD, so that all the work of various
WSIS follow up and implementation entities has a point of political
reporting and coordination.

 

3.	In the above regard, the suggestion of the Brazilian representative
at the CSTD, that the commission does less of deep probe activities in any
particular area (since the IS arena compassing so many arenas, it is easy to
miss the woods for the trees) and do more of 'system wide' political
coordination/ supervision/ report-taking. He also suggested that the
commission should develop political touch-stones - like the WSIS umbrella
concept of a people centred, inclusive and development-oriented IS - and
judge various WSIS follow up activities as per these political principles,
and make general reports at this level. I think this activity will
correspond best to CSTD's WSIS mandate of a system-wide follow up.

 

4.	In the above respect, it is important that CSTD does not take the
usual route of developing a work program which is ordered by few pre-decided
topics taken up every year. The fast evolving scenario of the IS does not
admit of such neat ordering of relevant issues, and the CSTD should be able
to take cognizance of key issues as they emerge. (This was stressed at the
inter-sessional meeting of CSTD, the issue is reflected in its
recommendation, as are several other issues listed here.)

 

5.	It was also stressed, and reflected in the recommendations of the
inter-sessional that CSTD coordinates and takes reports from not only the
activities on the 11 action lines, but other themes - primarily financial
mechanisms, and IG. Hence, it may also request report from the IG as to its
progress of meeting its WSIS mandate. 

 

6.	Also stressed was the point that CSTD should experiment with new
electronic platforms for an inclusive and democratic working. This should be
formalized at the annual meeting.

 

7.	And the issue, which I am sure you will present strongly, as Renate
did at the Paris meeting, of getting more open with CS participation, and
our complete lack of satisfaction with the present level of CS
participation. Such participation even if done is presented more as an
expertise input and not a political participation on a multi-stakeholder
principle of WSIS. We look forward to considerable progress on this issue. 

 

 

The above are the points that come to my mind. I am sorry that they may not
be worded too well, and if you are to include any of them in your input
papers you may have to clean them up a bit. (I write this from a place with
poor connectivity.)

 

Thanks

 

Parminder

Ford Foundation International Fellowships Program

<http://www.fordfound.org/news/more/11272000ifp/index.cfm>


Introduction

The Ford Foundation International Fellowships Program (IFP) provides
opportunities for advanced study to exceptional individuals who will use
this education to become leaders in their respective fields, furthering
development in their own countries and greater economic and social justice
worldwide. To ensure that Fellows are drawn from diverse backgrounds, IFP
actively seeks candidates from social groups and communities that lack
systematic access to higher education.

IFP is the largest single program ever supported by the Ford Foundation. By
investing $280 million over ten years through 2010, the Foundation intends
to build on its half century of support for higher education. Foundation
programs have long promoted the highest educational standards and
achievement. Ford fellowship recipients have become leaders in institutions
around the world and have helped build global knowledge in fields ranging
across the natural and social sciences as well as the humanities and arts.
IFP draws on this tradition and underscores the Foundation's belief that
education enables people to improve their own lives as well as to assist
others in the common pursuit of more equitable and just societies.

General Guidelines

The International Fellowships Program provides support for up to three years
of formal graduate-level study leading to a masters or doctoral degree.
Fellows are selected from countries in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Latin
America, and Russia, where the Ford Foundation maintains active overseas
programs. U.S. nationals are not eligible, although Fellows may study in the
United States.

Fellows are chosen on the basis of their leadership potential and commitment
to community or national service, as well as for academic excellence.
Fellows may enroll in masters or doctoral programs and may pursue any
academic discipline or field of study that is consistent with the interests
and goals of the Ford Foundation. The Foundation currently works in fifteen
fields to strengthen democratic values, reduce poverty and injustice,
promote international cooperation, and advance human achievement.

Once selected, Fellows may enroll in an appropriate university program
anywhere in the world, including their country of residence. The program
provides placement assistance to those Fellows not yet admitted to graduate
school.

IFP support also enables Fellows to undertake short-term language study and
training in research and computer skills prior to graduate school
enrollment. In addition, new Fellows attend orientation sessions, while
current Fellows actively participate in learning and discussion activities
designed to create information and exchange networks among IFP Fellows
worldwide. Finally, the program strongly encourages IFP alumni to maintain
contact with the program after completing the fellowships to help them
remain current in their respective fields through the expanding IFP network.

Because local requirements vary widely among IFP countries, applicants
should carefully follow the specific application guidelines provided by the
relevant IFP International Partner organizations listed below, including
deadlines for the submission of applications.

Dear all,

Many of you have expressed their interest in the media education kit but
some also have signaled their difficulty in accessing it. Abubakar Alhassan
and Lisa McLaughlin have just explained to me that the error comes from a
wrong segmentation of the word SECTION. The correct URL should keep it all
in one piece, with no space in between the 'S' and the 'E' . It should read:

http://portal.unesco.org/ci/en/ev.php-URL_ID=23714&URL_DO=DO_PRINTPAGE&URL_
SECTION=201.html

Many thanks for all your shows of interest. This kit is YOURS to
appropriate, to adapt, to criticize, to improve, etc. In my mind, and the
mind of the Mentor association members, this kit is just a small
contribution to the beginning of what must be a major shift and change of
scale in education worldwide, with sustainable development and cultural
diversity in mind. 

We will be testing some sections of the kit in France as a means of
celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Grunwald declaration with a
conference planned in June. Also the kit will be officially launched by
Mentor in Riyadh, in Saudi Arabia, the 4-7th of March 2007. Among those
attending the conference will be the Ministers of Education from the
countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council, and other Arab states, as well as
representatives from developing countries in Asia.

Any initiative of this kind is welcome in other regions of the world. We
need you to raise awareness about currently available research, tools,
pedagogies. We need you to support policies facilitating integration of
media education in national and local curricula. We need you to promote
collaborative efforts among researchers and teachers, internationally. We
need you to connect these efforts with the WSIS e-learning and media action
lines. Education is the key to many doors and many minds. Let's use it,
together.

Best
Divina

I am not familiar with the policies of the Ford Foundations.  However, I
would suggest you contact them and specifically ask about your
situation/location.  Perhaps they have some suggestions or information.

There are some additional eligibility criteria in India, for instance one
has to be resident of "Bihar, Chhatisgarh, Gujarat, Jammu & Kashmir,
Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh or Uttaranchal"
as the determinant of the student's socio-economic backwardness (
http://www.ifpsa.org/eligibility_criteria.asp). I contacted the Foundation
and have been denied the application form since I am now staying in Delhi.

Subject: [WSIS CS-Plenary] Mother Language Day - Information Society 2.0 event
Message-ID: <45DBB6CB.7010109@mdpi.org>

Hello

If you are in Paris, now and next week
you are kindly invited to
the "Federating Event"
  Information Society 2.0
http://socinfo.wtis.org

Apologies for other languages speakers,
but except for the UNESCO MLD celebration
  and the workshop,
  Recent Experiences on Measuring Languages in Cyberspace,
these are french-speaking only events
( as well as the web site ),
it is somewhat of a paradox when striving
for linguistic diversity, but they
are modest local events.

Please note the
Celebration of International Mother Language Day
21 Feb 2007 at UNESCO

all the complicated links
  to the  UNESCO pages
( including english versions )
  are listed on the page
http://socinfo.wtis.org/liens.html

For registration
http://socinfo.wtis.org/inscription.html
the  authentication code is WSIS-PLEN
For UNESCO events, deals directly with UNESCO.

Please note the Internet Governance workshop,
which is going to be rather timely, after
the last IGF stock-taking session last week,
where some "dissenting" opinions and suggestions
have been set forward.
The workshop includes a debriefing session
of the IGF in Athens.

Meetins at UNESCO and with EUROLINC
will also spur some brain-storming
activity toward the implementation
of the dynamical coalition
for "Lingusitic and Cultural diversity".

See you soon

Francis

Without commenting or getting directly involved on the present situation, as
I am not informed enough to do so, I too am of the opinion that licence fees
should be scrapped, as these pose an unnecessary burden on the
underprivileged, who often cannot afford private radio and television
services and should therefore not have to pay for what is supposedly "public
service" broadcasting.

 And before anybody points out that public service broadcasters need to
charge licence fees to be able to maintain the service, let's for this
argument's sake assume that they are sufficiently funded from public funds
and from commercial advertisers. Let us also bear in mind that it is a trend
that public broadcasters are bloated bureaucratic apparatuses with
disproportionately high salaries and perks for the top echelons of the
machinery.

 Could those more versed on the matter enumerate the exact sections of
international instruments that could strengthen the hand of those fighting
for the abolition of licence fees?


The right to information in itself, should do, but looks a bit naked and
malnourished. Instruments with bearing on information are not the only ones
with reference here: information is crucial for development/ health/
education etc.



I am sure there is enough to be written into a Free Broadcasting Reception
Charter.


Best regards,

Rui

> The Character:
