see if <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">CONGO</st1:place></st1:country-region> can procure a space for the
caucus to meet during the consultation. She doesn't have hard
confirmation yet, but thinks we should be able to use the NGO Lounge near the
cafeteria in building E during the Thursday-Friday lunch breaks.
Worst case scenario, we can grab a corner of the cafeteria or coffee lounge or
squat in an empty meeting room. My suggestion would be that we have a
focused discussion on site to touch up and finalize a caucus statement, as
there are apparently some differences of view, or at least emphasis, that
need to be reconciled, and it's unlikely we're going to pull this off in the
next couple of hours with people traveling etc. I don't see how we could
do this in a noisy crowded bar tonight, especially with seemingly only a
handful of folks having arrived by then. It's not absolutely imperative
that the text be posted prior to the opening of the consultation anyway,
whenever it's done we can have the secretariat post it and mention this in a
floor intervention.</SPAN></FONT><SPAN lang=EN-US><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P></DIV>

establish the right of the Forum to define its agenda. Thanks for thinking
about inserting it. It could be titled "Right of initiative" or
"Agenda-setting", but I suppose the present formulation is
more appropriate at that stage, in order to ruffle less feathers.

later to refine the missions and roles of the IGF. As a consequence, the
rest of the paragraph should better be suppressed. It helps shorten the text
and the present formulation is a little too apologetic, as if we were
voluntarily limiting the scope of activities ithe IGF can endeavour.

need to avoid equating the Forum with its secretariat. Location of the
secretariat is one issue; where face to face activities will take place is
another one : annual meetings could take place in different locations and
the secretariat itself could have a distributed structure, including the
setting up in due time of support staff for thematic activities and working
roups. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>
