Dear Dan and all,
thanks for this and your previous message!
I agree with you and relaunch the proposal of having an online meeting on Sunday -- I would say both the 16th and the 23rd, since there is a lot to discuss. Perhaps we could do it at 3pm CET (Central European Time - i.e. Paris), which could help people from most of the world to join in.
I remind everyone that Judith and the interpreters group is waiting for an answer on needs for interpretation for Communication and Media (Media center, Press, Radio, etc.).
So please, whoever is concerned, give your ideas and proposals as soon as possible.
An update from Dakar would also be useful.
The international press has prepared a Press Kit which will be circulated very soon.
Cheers,
Jason

Hi Jason and everyone
Sorry for my delay in responding. We're dealing with many pressures here - personal and social - all at once.
Thanks for your proposal to meet. I think it's essential we have a virtual meeting before Dakar, and now that your proposal of 6/7 January has passed, what about during a weekend, when more of us may be available? Could we try a Sunday night, for example (16 or 23)? For me, the 16th would be better, and would give us time to act on anything we decide, before Dakar.
All the best
Dan

Hi Tidiane,
happy new year to you too!
Thanks a lot for the update, it looks exciting.
I'll consult with Monica about the press kit and get back to you with some ideas and contacts by tomorrow.
I think it would be useful to have an online meeting after your meeting on Wednesday. Maybe on the 6th or 7th?
cheers
Jason

Hi All and happy new year
Some updates
1st point
We have identified a place for the press center at Dakar university : it is the Library. We have there :
- a room where we 200 journalists or more can fit easily.
- 40 individual boxes with computer
- 8 rooms (10 people capacity)
- two rooms (40 people capacity)
- a cofee room
- an Internet cafe
- The technical configuration (Infrastructure Networks / Internet / Wireless) is by far the best in the university and we just need two specialized lines in order to increase the flow for radio and Tv, what we intend to do quickly with the IT Department.
At UCAD 2, where the International Council took place in november and where some activities will take place, we have also identified a room we can use for press conference. A the room Council took place is also available for the press. As well as the restaurant.
2nd point
On january 10th we plan a workshop local press, international press agencies, international press correspondent, media organisations and media networks based in Senegal, in order to prepare the coverage of the WSF.
3rd point
We will the discuss the Press Kit during our Wednesday meeting. Can you give some ideas about what you think is important to be part of this press kit ?
