<DIV><FONT face="MS UI Gothic" size=2>Since the "Thematic list of CS side events
in Tunis" currently available on the web does not reflect the submission of
merged proposals yet, I would like to share the attached information on the
"2nd Global Forum on Disability in the Information Sciety" submitted on 14th
July by DAISY Consortium and BASMA jointly on behalf of the WSIS Disability
Caucus based on the decisions of the Disability Caucus during PrepCom2 in
Geneva.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="MS UI Gothic" size=2>With this submission, events No.102 and
123 in the list are merged into one <BR>to be held on 15th and 17th November in
Tunis with 200 participants.<BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="MS UI Gothic" size=2>Best regards,</FONT></DIV>
