[hr-wsis] Some background on governements work



Here is some background on intergovernmental work, mainly intended for 
those of you who have not participated to PrepCom1.

The intergovernmental work have been divided into two subcommitteed.

- Subcommittee 1 has been in charge of defining the rules of procedure 
for the preparatory process and the Summit itself. Its outcome from 
PrepCom1 is a document called:
Document WSIS/PC-1/DOC/9, July 4, 2002
(http://www.itu.int/dms_pub/itu-
s/md/02/wsispc1/doc/S02-WSISPC1-DOC-0009!!MSW-E.doc)
and Addendum of July 5, 2002 - Document WSIS/PC-1/DOC/9(Add.1)
(http://www.itu.int/dms_pub/itu-
s/md/02/wsispc1/doc/S02-WSISPC1-DOC-0009!A1!MSW-E.doc)

- Subcommittee 2 has been in charge of defining the content and themes 
for the Summit, which will be basis of the expected final "Declaration 
of Principles" and "Plan of Action" of the Summit (Reminder: the WSIS 
will be held in two steps, 1st in Geneva, December 2003, 2nd in Tunis, 
2005).
Its outcome from PrepCom1 is a document called:
Document WSIS03/PC-1/10-F, July 5, 2002
(http://www.itu.int/dms_pub/itu-
s/md/02/wsispc1/doc/S02-WSISPC1-DOC-0010!!MSW-E.doc)
and Corrigendum of September 2, 2002 - Document WSIS/PC-1/DOC/10(Corr.1)
(http://www.itu.int/dms_pub/itu-
s/md/02/wsispc1/doc/S02-WSISPC1-DOC-0010!C1!MSW-E.doc)

Due to the fact that governments have spent most of the time on the 
issue of rules of procedure, the work of Subcommittee 2 has been pursued 
during a so-called "Informal meeting on Content and Themes", held in 
Geneva, mid-September 2002. This meeting is informal in the sense that 
its conclusions still have to be adopted by the governement plenary 
during PrepCom2.
Its conclusions are written in a document called Outcome of the informal 
meeting of sub-committee 2 of PrepCom I of the WSIS. Final report, 
September 18, 2002
