At least it hasn't presented it's credentials to the plenary group nor figured in any of the discussions.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Are there any Canadians involved, as no doubt they would be interested in making sure any Francophone caucus has the representation of groups from Quebec, New Brunswick, which are canadian provinces that are members of "la francophonie"</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>If in fact the group is legit (which they will have to prove), as the focal point for north america & europe, please have the group contact me.<DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>For overpasses, the proposed procedure I hope to announce for the region is as follows:</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>- I will ask people who come from the North American and European region who don't belong to a thematic caucus or working group to send me an email to - <A href="mailto:wsis@privaterra.org-">wsis@privaterra.org-</A> requesting they wish an overpass. The automated system will generate a receipt, and place their name in a queue.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>- I will compile the list of requests, and will allocate the approx 30 overpasses allotted to the north american & european region based on the following (proposed) criteria :</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>- involvement in the wsis process to-date (on and/or offline)</DIV><DIV>- involvement in information society issues at international, regional, national & local level</DIV><DIV>- recommendations by those involved in the wsis process to-date (on and offline)</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>To be honest, I haven't heard of the group you mention at all. As such, they will be low on the list - likely not able to get any overpasses alloted for the region. </DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>As their name suggests they are involved in "disabled" issues, I would recommend they contact the disabilities caucus - who have their own process in place . That being said, it is likely that they have already assigned all the passes they have.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><DIV><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate;
