[governance] Fwd: Contributions to the outcomes on the discussions on CSTD priority themes

[Lee W McKnight]

Izumi,

I shouldn't volunteer anything a week before classes start. 

I did take a quick glance at the docs, and 2 out of 3 I at least have an opinion on, while water...I appreciate daily. But have no further comment on.

So what are they asking for - a couple lines or paragraphs commentary on the reports concluding "issues for consideration"  fed back to them as IGC's "main findings and recommendations" or something more elaborate? Because if it's elaborate they want and we need igc consensus on but  have nothing to start with and it is due in  a week...I have no further comment.

Lee

Dear list,

I just found this request - buried in my mailbox - from CSTD secretariat,
missing almost two weeks and the deadline is Jan 15. So sorry about
that.

Is there any volunteer to prepare draft for our submission?
That will help.

many thanks,

izumi

priority themes


Dear colleagues and participants,

First of all, allow me to thank you for your participation in the
inter-sessional panel of the Commission on Science and Technology for
Development (CSTD) which took place 15-17 December 2010.

I would like to remind you to please send us the "main findings and
recommendations" on the priority themes of the CSTD before 15 January
2011, for us to include them for discussion at the 14th session of the
CSTD, which will take place in May 2011.

These priority themes are:

-Technologies to address challenges in areas such as agriculture and water
-Measuring the impact of information and communications technologies
for development

In this connection, I am attaching the issues papers which the
Secretariat has prepared for this Panel for reference.

I look forward to hearing from you soon and wishing you a very happy
holidays and a prosperous new year.

Mongi Hamdi
