the process. ITU mainly focused its outreach and invitation efforts to Governments
(at the highest level possible), international organisations, ITU sector
members and business companies, who would be able to finance additional
projects in terms of network infrastructures and access. The meeting will therefore
primarily follow ITU practices. But CS representatives who duly registered will
be provided an access badge, as far as I was confirmed.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

model, with a number of main speakers and interactions with the audience. I
have no idea of the names of the speakers at this time, but my guess is that
they would mainly come from the ministerial level and from the corporate
sector. Such as all other participants, CS representatives and other
stakeholder will have opportunities to ask for the floor. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Thank you Phillippe for this post-WSIS update, very timely indeed. I am about
to go to Kigali and the ITU and GAID organised Connect Africa Summit end of
this month. Will there be any organised civil society involvement/attendance?
It is supposed to be an informal process with the GAID aim to provide "a
platform for an open, inclusive, multi-stakeholder cross-sectoral policy
dialogue", still the format of the conference seems to be something else,
ie following a traditional, exclusive high level panel debate format where most
of the issues are already discussed and decided. Anyone who knows more about
this or CS role in this process? <br>
Best regards, Johan<br>
