<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Thanks for this, Savita--very very helpful. I have
posted it to the Plenary list as well.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><BR>Three Questions: </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>First:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><EM>"<B>Security </B><BR>The Swiss authorities and
UN/ITU have jointly prepared an overall security plan. As part of this plan,
there will be a security perimeter around Palexpo, and only those participants
who have received a photo-badge will be admitted inside this
perimeter.<BR>Access to the Summit Premises during the
Summit"</EM></FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Photo badge? Will this be provided for when (all)
accredited people register? (I.e., a photo will be taken and a photo badge
generated upon registration?) <FONT color=#3333ff>YES.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Perimeter around Palexpo? The whole palexpo? Or only the
specific summit areas (i.e., Hall 1? Hall 2). If a photobadge is required for
all areas, then the photo will be taken upon registration, won't it? <FONT
color=#000099>Just Halls 1 and 2</FONT><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Second:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><EM>"The ICT4D Platform is being held in Hall 7, media
representatives, officially invited delegates and people accredited to the
WSIS have free entry. If you fall into these categories, please contact <A
class=moz-txt-link-abbreviated
href="mailto:info@ict-4d.org">info@ict-4d.org</A>."</EM></FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Why do we (officially invited delegates/people
accredited by WSIS) have to contact <A
href="mailto:info@ict-4d.org">info@ict-4d.org</A> ?<FONT color=#000099>
I am not sure, but I doubt it is absolutely
necessary.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>My last question is not related to the information note
but to an earlier message I posted: </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>- What will be the CS "headquarters"/operations
center/coordination center in Palexpo? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>- Will there be a computer room, with internet access?
(By the way, what is the situation of wireless internet access in
Palexpo?)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>- Will there be a space to hold meetings and caucuses
(of families or working groups)?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000099> We have 10 CS Offices to be shared amongst the
Bureau. There is wireless access in these offices so its better to bring your
laptops as there are no fixed PC as far as I know. There is a cybercafé
very close with over 100 computers. We also have the Agora room which is
probably large enough for the Bureau, this could be used as an HQ. All
these questions can be discussed at the Bureau meeting.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Hope for some quick responses--many people are leaving
for geneva in the next few days...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Thanks and regards</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000099> Best, Savita</FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
