<p><strong>Dear friends and partners,</strong></p>
<p>Further to your very much appreciated participation and contribution
to the first
facilitation meeting on WSIS Action Line C3 “Access to information and
knowledge” at
UNESCO Headquarters in October 2006, I am pleased to inform you that
the second consultation meeting
on C3 will take place in Geneva on 23 May 2007 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
(ITU, Montbrillant
Building, Room K, Rue de Varembé, Geneva, Switzerland) <a

<p>This meeting comes seven months after the first meeting held in
Paris in October. Since
that first consultation, UNESCO is working on the creation of an
easy-access online platform that
will facilitate the dialogue between the different stakeholders and
serve as a tool for consultation
and interaction, to organize common initiatives, share experiences and
monitor implementation of
C3. We are aiming at making the platform available shortly after the
meeting in Geneva.</p>
<p> The second C3 consultation on 23 May has two main objectives: </p>
<ul>
<li>To present concrete projects and initiatives that has been
carried out ailing at
implanting C3 and initiating joint ventures between stakeholders </li>
<li>To determine parameters for organization of the team work,
including determining
responsibilities, and define the rules for the use of the platform </li>
</ul>
<p>In order to stimulate the discussion, have a clearer idea of the
different points to the
agenda prior to the meeting and to have a place to select projects and
initiatives to be presented
during the 23 May meeting we have established a forum where you will be
able to propose projects for
presentation (until May 1st) and to prepare the discussions (until May
23rd)
