Hello all
Am still travelling so apologies for not being too active in thisnext
intersessional phase of the summit (/geneva 10-14 NOvember).
Just want to seek the support of people who could beactive in giving immediate
feedback in case some is need by our colleagues who are there in Geneva (Patcha
I think is there), as well as from APC (Karen Banks in particular). They may be
posting to me and to others immediate content/language being negotiated by them
in the next four days.
I have said that whatever we send I will immediately post to our own asia
mailing list for information and feedback. However, I need *explicit* word on
who is committed to give feedback immediately so we may send it to Geneva via
Patcha or Karen.
So, may i ask if some of us who have been active in the content development
work to commit to be available in the next 4-5 days for monitoring these
incoming messages, and immediately giving feedback?
Just off the top of my head, here a a few names I am thinking of, based on area
of interest and expertise (in the topics still contentious):
Adam, Izumi, Chun, YJ- internet governance
Angela, Isis people - gender
OH Byoung Il - patents copyrights trademarks, privacy etc.
Isis people, MJ - Comunity media
NOrbert - Multilingual etc
other.....
Again what I would hope foris that you monitor the itnersessional and this list
for any updates, and then post your comments immediately--please copy to Patcha
and Karen...
I will be in meetings in SF the next two days, and then will be travelling the
following two, so I will be limited in my reactions, especially in days 3 and
4. I hope Angela can backstop here...
Of course3 Patcha, just post directly and get feedback directly. YOu are our
direct link there...
I guess thats all
Thanks to all
Al
