Dear Tak

Had a long tlk with high authorities of Universidad de Costa Rica. Showed them a copy of the message you send to WHO offitials, describing the GU coordination role for INTERNET 2, and how this will be done among countries. They like the idea, and are willing to continue.

Hence, I think time has come to start thinking about the next workshop I have some questions in that respect
  1. Am I going to cover from Guatemala to Panama, exclusively or is the Caribean going to be included?
  2. Is the workshop meant to be a follow up of Tampere, or can we go a bit farther and start to push for GUCA scheme?
  3. What are the finantial sources we have at hand in order to hold such an event?
  4. Is it supposed to be a blend of GLH with a discussion, or should we concentrate on the specifics: how the different countries will blend, what is expected from everyone, and so forth?

LAST but not LEAST: you people are planning to meet at Colombia in February, for the Amazonian. Colombia is a rather cheap place to be at, and travel expenses to Costa Rica are not that different from those to Colombia. Wonder if we can aim for TWO meetings simultaneously: Central America, and Amazonian. We will have in this way the whole Latin America

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I still do not have the scratch version of GU bylaws

Best regards
