Thanks for the clarification. I was perhaps getting confused with other 
forums where they seemed to ask for WSIS accreditation or "demonstrated 
expertise".

One of the things which worries me slightly (and should be included in 
Jeremy's survey of all forums perhaps) is the way in which CSTD has 
signalled since 2007 an "understanding that, in the meantime, the said 
organizations and entities will apply for consultative  status with the 
Economic and Social Council".

Which is why I was asking if we expect 2015 to be the final postponement 
for the "exceptional" admission, and everyone interested in continuing 
with CSTD will have at long last made their applications to ECOSOC; or 
alternatively is admission expected to be much easier for anyone.
