Thanks for the good suggestions, including a couple that have come
off-list.<br>
<br>
To respond to a couple of those, it was suggested that we could have
parallel sessions. This was how we originally had last year's draft
programme too, but it turned out not to be manageable because some
people strongly wanted to contribute to both streams. So I feel
that although it's an easy solution, it's perhaps not the best one.<br>
<br>
The other question is whether ITU be featured or whether it be part
of a broader treatment of the WSIS+10 review process, and that
surveillance should become more of a headline topic. As the latest
mail from Joana indicates, there are still issues for us to address
at the ITU so I don't think that removing it from the agenda is
necessary, nor that this has been suggested.<br>
<br>
So I think that the comments can be taken on board by moving
surveillance into the prime time slot (morning of the second day),
and broadening the topic of the ITU session to include the WSIS+10
review process and civil society's participation in that. For
example, the supposed Multistakeholder Preparatory Platform (MPP)
for WSIS+10 has been anything but, so far.<br>
<br>
Can we proceed along those lines? The other question is, are there
any outputs that we want to produce from these two sessions? From
the first day's session we have some pretty clear deliverables to
work on (even though there is much work yet to do towards them), but
what about the surveillance and ITU/WSIS+10 sessions?<br>
