CitNet NGO strategy session to help coordinate US NGO preparation efforts.
We welcome all newcomers interested in the issues and encourage you to ask
questions, but a minimal level of knowledge about the World Summit will be
beneficial.
Since this is a follow up to previous meetings, attendees are expected to
be
familiar with the Summit process and keep questions focused. You may find a
