Hi
Sorry for the bounce messages. I've unsubscribed this email address as

Below is a message from Myriam Horngren (CRIS), who is working on the

soon.

> A few things that we need to deal with or keep in mind in our planning
> for the Forum:
>
> -Security: it seems that the situation is getting worse. I spoke with
> Romazzotti yesterday and the plan that we might have to do
> "registration" is now being thrown out of the window. It seems that UN
> security want our zone to be "accreditation only" while ICT4D will only
> require registration, which means that they will have all the people
> that will now NOT be able to come to our event AT ALL. Basically we are
> located across the corridor grom ICT4D with a glass panel separating 
> us.
> And for your info, we are next to the restaurant (accreditation only as
> well), so that should solve the problem on the tea and coffee breaks...
>
> -Accreditation: please ensure that your guest panelists are accredited,
> so as to avoid any problems with security if things do indeed get
> difficult. Each accredited organisation is entitled to register up to 5
> individuals. If you think that you will have spare registration under
> your organisation, then please advise the group to ensure that we can
> share and get all the panelists to Geneva and inside Palexpo.
>
> -Hotels: the hotels are getting seriously booked. Please ensure that 
> you
> book for your own delegation and your panelists on time. At this stage
> you might be asked for a deposit. Please, I urge you to make your
> reservations as soon as possible. Thematic coordinators are to deal 
> with
> their own hotel for their panelists as well as their own booking.
>
> -We are having serious problems with translation booths as we were
> allocated nothing originally, which is beyond crazy. I am running 
> around
> trying to negociate as well as trying to find alternatives. If you have
> any suggestions on cheap technology for translation equipment in 
> Geneva,
> I would really welcome any help you may have.
