I make another appeal, particularly for those who are observing remotely the Prepcom, for volunteers to share their notes and reports on the sub-committee meetings to this list. </DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Another possibility is that someone might be able to take notes via the webcast, which is continuing to broadcast from Conference Rm XX (but not XVIII).</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>We are in the last days of the prepcom, and governments are getting to the heart of the most difficult political questions, including "oversight" of the internet and the "coordination body" to follow up on the Summit. Literally the summit might live or die based on how the negotiations go.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Thanks again.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Rik Panganiban</DIV><DIV>CONGO</DIV><BR><DIV> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Arial" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Arial">===============================================</FONT></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Arial" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Arial">RIK PANGANIBAN <SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN>Communications Coordinator</FONT></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Arial" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Arial">Conference of NGOs in Consultative Relationship with the United Nations (CONGO)<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN></FONT></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Arial" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Arial">web: <A href="http://www.ngocongo.org">http://www.ngocongo.org</A></FONT></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Arial" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Arial">email: <A href="mailto:rik.panganiban@ngocongo.org">rik.panganiban@ngocongo.org</A></FONT></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Arial" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Arial">mobile: (+1) 917-710-5524<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN></FONT></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Arial; min-height: 14.0px"><BR></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Arial" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Arial">* Information on the WSIS at <A href="http://www.ngocongo.org/wsis">http://www.ngocongo.org/wsis</A></FONT></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Arial" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Arial">* Information on Millennium+5 at <A href="http://www.ngocongo.org/mdg">http://www.ngocongo.org/mdg</A></FONT></P> </DIV><BR></BODY></HTML>
