> Hello.
>
> 14 July, The United Nations Secretary-General formally announced the
> convening of the inaugural meeting of the Internet Governance Forum
> to be held in Athens on the 30th October - 2nd November.
>
> Mr Annan's letter, in all UN languages, is available from
> <http://www.intgovforum.org/> Note that he invites all stakeholders
> to participate in the meeting.
>
> IGF secretariat will make information about registration available
> soon (hopefully this week.) Information for visas should be
> available when the registration process is announced.
>
> Regarding accreditation, the intention as I understand it is to
> follow the format used for IGF (and earlier WGIG) consultations:
> people with WSIS/ECOSOC accreditation will be accredited
> automatically, other entities and persons with proven expertise and
> experience in matters related to Internet governance may apply to
> register as participants.
