   Dear Colleagues,
   
   On behalf of the Civil Society Division /WSIS ES, we would like to thank you
   for your participation in the Prepcom 2.  Thanks to your efforts, a Civil
   Society Bureau is now established and operational.  This
   development opens important new opportunities for civil society
   participation in the WSIS process.
   
   In the following weeks we will be working closely together to strengthen the
   CS Bureau and ensure that civil society at large can benefit from these
   opportunities.  Concretely, we shall maintain regular exchange of
   information and, as discussed during Prepcom 2, we will follow-up on issues
   of immediate concern:
   
   1. The Terms of Reference of the Civil Society Bureau have been posted on
   the www.geneva2003.org web site.  Please check the site and send us your
   comments and suggestions for improvement.
   Suggestions will be forwarded to the Task Group on information and outreach;
   
   2. To improve the understanding of the CS Bureau, kindly send us a short
   description of your respective family (if not yet done);
   
   3. Any ideas on how you plan to communicate with organizations within your
   respective families are most welcome.  Please send us the lists of the main
   networks and organizations composing your family if
   you wish to add them to our discussions lists;
   
   4. As planning for Summit events will start shortly, we would be grateful if
   you could identify and forward to us event proposals from your respective
   family.  As many different families may be interested in the
   same theme, events must be theme-oriented   We remain at your disposal to
   discuss any such proposals and ensure their coordination at the Summit;
   
   5. Inter-sessional modalities are still being discussed in the Executive
   Secretariat and with the Chairperson of Sub-committee 2 Working Group on
   content and themes. As soon as these will be established,
   we will send an announcement to all civil society entities (no later than 15
   March);
   
   6. The Report of last CS Bureau meetings is being compiled at the moment.
   We will send this as soon as available (by mid next week at the latest).
   
   We hope that this short reminder proves useful.  Please do not hesitate to
   contact us for any further questions.
   
   Looking forward to hearing from you.
   
   Best regards,
   
   Alain, Louise, Liliane
   CSD /WSIS ES
