Hmm...Final evening - my final tired thoughts
1. Engaging on the 'documents: A lot more preparation on all grounds including Youth caucus to feed into these but first a proper orientation around the issues at hand. Major parts are shifted till the next prepcom - IG mainly.
2. On Words to Action: NYC Phase II up and Running with initial 8 countries, WSYA and Radio on Better track, partnership with Milset for Parallel Youth COngress on Track, ICV and YC collarborating on national strategies...great...did Ileave anything out? Reserved a whooping 300 m2 for the Pavillion today with no idea who would be paying - hope we get the request and can have a jamboree...
3. People: So many 'new' faces to the whole process - missing a lot of actors from phase II - what happens to conitnuity? Pressure becomes a lot more on those who have been engaged so far even though they find this phase a bit blurry as well
4. Supporters: A huge thanks to the following organisations fo rthier support - SchoolNet Africa (www.schoolnetafrica.org) as the Executive Secretariat (hey if they don't say 'Go' I may no tbe able to; IISD www.iisd.ca - For Terri :-); CTA (www.cta.nl) for the First mini-grants for the Rural National Youth Campaigns; to the World Summit Award and ICNM (www.wsis-award.org); to TIG for the Technical Platform;to the various organisations the Youth Caucus memebrs who were aroudn belong to...If I have forgotten any please forgive

Hmmm...

I have learnt the following:
1. Does not speak any language outside of Ticket, Passport and amount of Swiss Francs
2. Does not care that you had to run to catch the bus because you were late for a meeting since they are such timely people
3. That a weekly ticket really is better if you are staying for a week or not...

Hmmm...I owe them a lot of money...but now have a had a full well grounded and rounded experience of the Genevan Canton...Though a friend tells me these 'Greenbeings' only show up at the end of the month when they are trying to meet thier monthly quota's :-)

Okay...Keeping it Short so I don't speak outside of content based stuff...
Discussionon Implementation and FOllow-up after Tunis - has been transferred to Prepcom 3 and no assurances that any formal follow-up wil be done in between...Hmmm
What does this portend for other discussions around Financing and Internet Governance...And most folks still have global funding mechanisms in mind- no light on the Nation's capabilities to support little 'unglobal' schmes and initiatives within the information society in thier boundaries - or maybe they are not forgettign it simply that it is not well articulated...Hope the fog gets clearer as we move along to the end of the meetings...The Rural Youth National Cmapaigns (we are looking for a better acronym so I will try various ones out as the days go by) were annouced and a mail sent to the wider list...Looking for more funding so if you know of any one or organisations- please buzz and bug me with the information...WSYA is also getting into better shape (www.youthaward.org) so is the Radio channel (www.wsya-radio.org)

Forgive all Typos in this email as I type at 8:40 pm Genevan time in the Cyber Cafe in the wise and ancient UN A Building next to the only entrance still open (I got locked in last week Tuesday as I thought it was the glory days of CICG at Perpcom I when we could work till late and still get out without trying to talk to a Camera :-))
Enjoy...Till I find space to sit again...
