[governance] GA resolution adopted and CSTD WG meeting on IGF, Dec 17, now fixed

[Izumi AIZU]

Sorry - the website says the following:

General Assembly adopt resolution on "Information and communications
technologies for development"

24 Nov 10 - The Second Committee of the General Assembly adopted by
consensus a resolution on "Information and communications technologies
for development" on 24 November 2010 in New York. The resolution
reaffirms the importance of ICT for development, and makes a number of
recommendations with respect to the implementation of, and follow-up
to, the World Summit on the Information Society(WSIS), including
internet governance.

----
They say "General Assembly adopt resolution"  NOT "adpoted" in the header.
So this could be read as "GA to adopt resolution passed by 2nd commission"
in the near future.

Very confusing.
