Dear colleauges
According to the message below of Renata Bloem, the CSB meeting in Capetown
will happen on Dec. 5 to 6.
I posted this some time ago, asking for comments on who is available and
willing to represent the Asian Family. Unfortunately, people have no comment
yet (or have not time to do so). This probably says something both about our
level of organization and maybe how some of us view the CSB :-)
But it is an important meeting with the future of CSB in Phase II up for
discussion. So better someone attends I think.
But since no name has been put forward and time is short, we may be left
without a rep.
Here is a possibility:
Some of our colleagues are attending the ICANN meeting immediately prior to
the CSB meeting. I know Izumi Aizu and NOrbert Klein will both be attending.
(Any more?)
May I suggest that Izumi and Norbert try to extend their stay a day or two,
and sit in as our rep for that meeting. (Izumi for example would be suited
for this, as he has been a veteran of WSIS since PrepCom1 and knows the CSB
quite well because of our previous coordination.)
This is without prejudice to someone still emerging--maybe after the Asian
WSIS panel during the Bangkok Asian Civil Society Forum on the 25th--to go
to Capetown on the CSB fellowship.
Is this Ok?

To CS Bureau Dear Friends,
Following my previous message regarding a Bureau meeting in South Africa, we
have finally received this afternoon some green light. I urgently ask all
those who can make it, to book the most economic fare to Cape Town to meet
Sunday, 5 December, in the afternoon and Monday, 6 December, in the morning.
A provisional agenda will be sent at a later stage. Viola will help with
all logistical arrangements, including accommodation. Please contact her
also for any help you might need for travel.
You need to finance yourself and you will be reimbursed as in previous
fellowship arrangements. It is a very tight time frame, but we should try
to make it.
With warm greetings and hope to see you soon,
Renata
