<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:

recently informed about the process for the distribution of overpasses for the
High Level Panel in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:State w:st="on">Tunis</st1:State></st1:place>
and for the Plenary meetings. Overpasses are needed only for the HLP and
Plenary meetings, in which space constraints impose some obvious limitations in
the number of persons allowed in the room. Only CS participants duly registered
to Tunis Summit and badged under an accredited CS entity are entitled to
request an overpass for those two meetings. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>The Civil Society Bureau (CSB) was asked by the WSIS
ES to ensure the repartition and the distribution of overpasses through a
self-organizing process when space limitation occurs in some meeting rooms. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:

a central on-line overpass request system available for all
caucuses/WG/families (<b><span style='font-weight:bold'><a
href="http://www.privaterra.org/~rguerra/wsis">www.privaterra.org/~rguerra/wsis</a></span></b>).
Each CS registered participant, who would like to request an overpass, will
have to fill in this form by 11 November 2005, indicating which
Caucus/WG/families (s)he belongs to/participates in. Each requester will
receive a confirmation of his/her request together with a registration number,
and requests lists will be compiled for each CS grouping. </span></font><font
