The original plan, revealed in Vilnius, was to have some sort of public 
consultation during October (which is reportedly much delayed), then 
gather the WG in Geneva on the 24th November[1].

The composition was to be 20 nominees from the Government sector and 10 
each from Private Sector (ICC?) and Civil Society. The Internet 
Technical Community does not have its own stakeholder group of ten, 
although from what I read on this list it is hoped that part of both of 
the non-government groups will comprise individuals with that 
background.

[1] That meeting is sandwiched in between the separately announced IGF 
Open Consulation/MAG meeting and a regular CSTD inter-sessional panel 
the following week, which includes WSIS follow-up on the agenda.

Assuming the IGF is renewed in a form which makes sense to continue the 
work, there will be two further meetings of the WG in February and 
March, to complete a report which will be put in front of the CSTD 
annual session in May 2011 - and sent from there to ECOSOC, UN General 
Assembly etc.
