report after the CST Bureau meeting in which observer stakeholder participated.
The direction which is now planning to be taken is not having negotiated
decisions/resolutions as the outcome of the session, but a series of “agreed
conclusions” by the CSTD, annexed to the CSTD report.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

morning’s session is anticipated to be a series of 2 multi-stakeholder
interactive dialogues (the first one being on the CSTD traditional mandate, the
second on the WSIS follow-up mandate). CS observers could make oral
contributions on issues to be included in the agreed conclusions, and could also
send written inputs to be included in the agreed
conclusions.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
