Karen:

quick comments

1. Details of the meeting are below
2. I didn't want the ball to get dropped. Knowing it's you and ralk - 
then will be more than happy to pass along all info to you both.

3. Indeed an official request would be appropiate - both from the 
WGIG and from this WG as well..

regards,

Robert

ITU - WSIS Thematic Meeting on Cybersecurity:  28 June- 1 July 2005, 
Geneva (Switzerland)

At the start of the 21st millennium, our societies are increasingly 
dependent on information and communications technologies (ICTs) that 
span the globe. The ITU WSIS Thematic Meeting on Cybersecurity will 
take place June 28 - July 1 2005 at ITU headquarters in Geneva, 
Switzerland. This conference will examine the recommendations in the 
World Summit on the Information Society first phase's Plan of Action 
that relate to building confidence and security in the use of ICTs 
and the promotion of a global culture of cybersecurity. The meeting 
will specifically consider six broad themes in promoting 
international cooperative measures among governments, the private 
sector and other stakeholders, including information sharing of 
national approaches, good practices and guidelines; responding to the 
misuse of ICTs; harmonizing national legal approaches and 
international legal coordination; technical standards; privacy, data 
and consumer protection; and providing assistance to developing 
economies. The first day of the meeting will focus on countering spam 
as follow-up to the ITU WSIS Thematic Meeting on Countering Spam held 
in July 2004.
