[Wsf] Communications space at WSF / FSM

[Sally Burch - ALAI]

Hi everyone, hola a todos/as:
(English below) 

Para mayor clarificación sobre el tema que plantea Peter:

El espacio de comun par ala comunicación en el FSM que 
mencionó Peter fue propuesto al Consejo Internacional del FSM 
por APC y ALAI, y ha sido aceptado como parte de la organización 
del Foro.  Como lo mencionó Peter, tanto APC como ALAI, 
además de otras organizaciones, tienen previsto organizar 
actividades en ese espacio, algunas de las cuales se coordinarán 
a través de la Campaña CRIS.  La idea es que el espacio también 
estará abierto a otras iniciativas interesadas en compartir un 
mismo techo.  Estamos intercambiando con los organizadores del 
Foro sobre las modalidades para inscribir actividades en el espacio 
de comunicación.

Esta lista es uno de los espacios donde podemos compartir 
información sobre las actividades de comunicación (debates, 
talleres, pools mediáticos) que cada cual está planificando para 
Porto Alegre 2003.


Just to further clarify what Peter brought up in his message:

The communications space at the WSF was proposed to the 
International Council by APC and ALAI and has been accepted as 
part of the organization of the Forum.  As Peter mentioend, both 
APC and ALAI, as well as other groups, will be organizing activities 
there, some of which will be coordinated through the CRIS 
campaign.  The idea is that the space will also be open to other 
initiatives interested in sharing under a same roof.  We are 
discussing with the Forum organizers what the modalities will be 
for registering activities in the communications space.

This list is one space where we can share information on the 
communuication activities (debates, workshops, media pools, etc.) 
each is planning for Porto Alegre 2003.
