<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Thanks for this, Savita--very very helpful. I =
have
posted it to the Plenary list as well.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><BR>Three Questions: </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>First:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><EM>"<B>Security </B><BR>The Swiss authorities =
and
UN/ITU have jointly prepared an overall security plan. As part of this =
plan,
there will be a security perimeter around Palexpo, and only those =
participants
who have received a photo-badge will be admitted inside this
perimeter.<BR>Access to the Summit Premises during the
Summit"</EM></FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Photo badge? Will this be provided for when =
(all)
accredited people register? (I.e., a photo will be taken and a photo =
badge
generated upon registration?) <FONT =
color=#3333ff>YES.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Perimeter around Palexpo? The whole palexpo? =
Or only the
specific summit areas (i.e., Hall 1? Hall 2). If a photobadge is =
required for
all areas, then the photo will be taken upon registration, won't it? =
<FONT
color=#000099>Just Halls 1 and 2</FONT><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Second:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><EM>"The ICT4D Platform is being held in Hall =
7, media
representatives, officially invited delegates and people accredited to =
the
WSIS have free entry. If you fall into these categories, please =
contact <A
class=moz-txt-link-abbreviated
=
href="mailto:info@ict-4d.org">info@ict-4d.org</A>."</EM></FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Why do we (officially invited delegates/people =
accredited by WSIS) have to contact <A
href="mailto:info@ict-4d.org">info@ict-4d.org</A> ?<FONT =
color=#000099>
I am not sure, but I doubt it is absolutely
necessary.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>My last question is not related to the =
information note
but to an earlier message I posted: </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>- What will be the CS =
"headquarters"/operations
center/coordination center in Palexpo? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>- Will there be a computer room, with internet =
access?
(By the way, what is the situation of wireless internet access in
Palexpo?)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>- Will there be a space to hold meetings and =
caucuses
(of families or working groups)?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000099> We have 10 CS Offices to be shared =
amongst the
Bureau. There is wireless access in these offices so its better to =
bring your
laptops as there are no fixed PC as far as I know. There is a =
cybercafé
very close with over 100 computers. We also have the Agora room which =
is
probably large enough for the Bureau, this could be used as an HQ. =
All
these questions can be discussed at the Bureau meeting.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Hope for some quick responses--many people are =
leaving
for geneva in the next few days...</FONT></DIV>
