[governance] World Summit on the Information Society Forum 2013 [WSIS 2013 Call for Volunteers for IGC Working Group]

[Salanieta T. Tamanikaiwaimaro]

Dear All,

The World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) Forum 2013 will be
jointly organized by UNESCO, ITU, UNCTAD and UNDP in Geneva, Switzerland,
from 13 to 17 May 2013.  It would be good to ascertain how many from the
IGC plan on attending the WSIS 2013 and will be hosting Workshops?

We will also begin preparations of preparing an Official Contribution prior
to 21st January 2013. As such I would like to make an open call for
volunteers who are interested in a Working Group that will comprise of
those who will attend physically and those who will participate remotely in
the WSIS.

The Working Group will be responsible in consolidating ideas from the IGC
and preparing for the WSIS, hosting workshops and also submitting the
Official documents for the IGC. The deadline for the official contributions
and binding requests for workshops will need to be finalised  before 10th
January, 2012 at 10.00pm  UTC +12and put to the IGC for open consultations
till 14th January, 2012 at 10.00pm UTC+12 . The Working Group will have 48
hours to prepare a Draft  by  16th January, 2012. This will then be put
again to the IGC for final review and edits. The Chairs will be expected to
provide a short brief report and submit the Official Contribution on behalf
of the IGC to the WSIS 2013.
