<BR>
<I>Meetings: </I>A number of caucus people are arriving at various points tonight/tomorrow, and there are other gatherings to head to, so 6-7pm meetings may not get all hands on deck. Instead/in addition, why don’t we just meet before the consultation Wednesday morning in the lounge area outside Rm. B and also have a lunch between sessions, per usual?<BR>
<BR>
<I>Modalities statement:</I> It does seem that the ball got dropped on what Adam was asking for. I don’t see how in the time that remains we could devise a statement and clear it through the list as an official consensus position. But the caucus members in attendance could speak to the issue either in their individual interventions, or collectively as ‘those members in attendance here.’ In either event, it would make sense to coordinate on site and see if we can converge with respect to the main points Adam raises.<BR>
<BR>
<I>Copies of the main sessions statement: </I>In the spirit of multistakeholderism etc, the ITU secretariat (well, Tim) has kindly agreed to run 100 copies. I will pick them up Wednesday morning en route to the meeting room.<BR>
<BR>
Best,<BR>

Hi Everyone<BR>
<BR>
I am in Geneva and will attend the IGF consultations…. Please let me who all would be there to develop and take forward our strategy for the consultations. Others are encouraged to keep providing us inputs online…. <BR>
<BR>
CONGO</SPAN></FONT><FONT FACE="Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:18.0px'> has a room for CS plenary every evening 6 – 7 PM in </SPAN><FONT SIZE="2"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:13.0px'><B>Room XXVII</B> (Palais des Nations). We can meet today and discuss IGF things a bit, and devote tomorrow’s CS plenary (22nd) mostly for IGF related discussions. We can try to stay back for half an hour after the plenary tomorrow (assuming that the UN staff lets us do that) for more focussed discussions.<BR>
<BR>
Other ideas for how to take this forward are welcome. <BR>
<BR>
I think it will be good if we can have photocopies of the IGC input to the IGF…. Many participants do not read stuff online, and putting a hard copy in their hands is a good way of getting through. ( I will try to get such copies made… anyone more resourced in Geneva/UN circumstance is requested to help.)<BR>
