AW: [governance] WSIS Forum 2011, 16 to 20 May Geneva

["Kleinwächter, Wolfgang"]

Bill: 
The ICC says "Deliberations start on 26 October and the final decision will be taken by early December."  Just looked at the UN GA webcast site http://www.unmultimedia.org/tv/webcast/c/general-assembly.html and it looks like yesterday they talked about "the culture of peace," which is item 15 on the agenda.  IGF renewal is part of item 17, "Information and communications technologies for development"  to be considered by the second committee.  So unless they're proceeding at a real snail's pace or out of sequence, one would think they might get to this sooner than next Tuesday.  Does anyone have current info?
 
Wolfgang:
The only informaiton I have is that some delegates will go directly from Guadalajara to New York. ITU ends this weekend, so Tuesday is probably the correct date for the start. Normally the 2nd committee works until late November. I expect a first draft resolution, than some negotiaitons and a second dradft early December which then goes to the Plenary for adoption mid December.
