He current UN PGA seems to have different ideas related to his task of consulting stakeholders on the substance of WSIS review. The first preparatory meeting of the WSIS + 10 review process is scheduled for early June. It my provide some clarity on the topic. But in the meantime, we need to decide how to proceed.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">If the inter-sessional activities will be enthusiastically supported by different national and regional IGF and the open-ended editorial group will have wealth of material to work on maybe we could think of replacing the MAG meeting with that of editorial group? The place and exact time of the meeting should be discussed, of course. If we will not pursue with the inter-sessional work track for one or another reason then we would go straight to Joao Pessoa.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I would appreciate your thoughts on the above.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thank you in advance.</div><div class="">JK<br class=""></div><div data-signatureblock="true" class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Sent from Surface</div><div class=""><br class=""></div></div></div>
