> World Summit on the Information Society - UK Consultative Day
> 24/05/05, Manchester
> I am writing to invite you to a UK event which will feed in to
the World
> Summit on the Information Society taking place in Tunis, November
2005.
The
> Foreign and Commonwealth Office will be leading the official UK
delegation
> to the Summit. In preparation for the Summit, the FCO has
requested the
> British Council to organise a Consultative Day for UK Civil
Society. The
UK
> Consultative Day will be a platform for UK Civil Society to
discuss
> Information Society issues of concern. These issues will then be
passed on
> to inform the official delegation prior to the event in Tunis.
> The UK Consultative Day will take place on Tuesday 24 May 2005.
It will be
> held in Manchester at the Lowry Hotel. Delegates will be drawn
from a
range
> of UK Civil Society entities eg, academia, business, media, NGOs,
> government, etc. There will be no charge for attendance at the
Consultative
> Day and lunch is included.
> An outline of the Day's programme and a list of speakers will be
posted on
> to the British Council's website during March 2005 (
> <http://www.britishcouncil.org/wsis> www.britishcouncil.org/wsis )
> The Consultative Day will consist of a short plenary session
followed by
> delegates breaking into a number of syndicate groups. These
facilitated
> groups will discuss themes which will have been chosen by UK
Civil Society
> via an on-line questionnaire* on the British Council's WSIS
website (
> <http://www.britishcouncil.org/wsis> www.britishcouncil.org/wsis)
>
> * We would be grateful if you could indicate the topics for
discussion at
> the Consultative Day by completing the short questionnaire on
> <http://www.britishcouncil.org/wsis> www.britishcouncil.org/wsis.
We would
> welcome your input via this questionnaire even if you were not
able to
> attend the UK Consultative Day.
