Dear Friends, It was great to see most of you all last month in Samoa but I had so little time to spend with you but I do hope you enjoyed your time in Samoa and learnt heaps. I only wished I could have stayed the whole week. Today, I just got back home as I went directly to Turin Italy for another meeting – while its great to be home, I miss Samoa and the Pacific much.

Please see email below if you wish to participate at the training session for remote participation to the WSIS follow conference next week. I am organizing 2 sessions. One is for emergency communications 9-11am on Tuesday 14 March and another one for e-waste 12-16pm same day. The link below is the agenda for the whole week. You pick and choose the topic you want to attend remotely.

My apologies for cross posting! Can someone post the email below to picisoc? And share also with those whom you wish to participate remotely as there are so many topics and so many speakers – we may learn a thing or two.

I am planning a pre-conference for SIDS next year in Sept 2014 for the Third conference of SID to be held in Samoa. If you are interested in attending please do send me the key issues as small islands that you wish to include in the this pre-event, also if you wish your Minister to be a speaker etc. and whether you wish to have a session during the pre-event.

Take care and do not hesitate to contact me should you need anything else that is ITU related.

Regards Gisa
