[governance] Science, Technology, Innovation and ICTs for Development: UNCTAD XII pre-event (6 december, Geneva)

[CONGO - Philippe Dam]

Dear all, 

 

Note as well this up coming UNCTAD meeting addressing the overall theme:
"Science, Technology, Innovation and ICTs for Development". This event is
organised in preparation to the 12th UNCTAD quadrennial ministerial
Conference, taking place in Accra, Ghana in April 2008.

nfo=not> &lang=1&m=14561&info=not.

 

My understanding is that while closely related to WSIS issue, this meeting
is not part of UNCTAD follow up to WSIS. Therefore, only NGOs in
consultative status with UNCTAD might be able to participate... We were
however informed that other relevant CS representatives could ask for an ad
hoc "invitation" to the division organising the event, so that they could be
put in the list of participants as invited persons. 

 

CONGO would be ready to compile a list of individuals requesting such an
invitation. Is there anybody willing to take part in this meeting?

 

Best regards,
