Hello all!

To speak about the appearance of youth: Marouen, Rim, Heythem and Me (Tarek) were to PrepCom1 happened in Yasmine-Hammamet in Tunisia last weekend, as representatives of TakingITGlobal and members of the Youth Caucus which has unfortunately not officially represented, matter for which we've made efforts to reaffirm youth presence within the process of PrepCom1, while integrating most of meetings and
plenaries of various entities of the civil society to make them listen the youth voice and assert its presence in PrepCom1.
It is true that we retied again contact with various national and international entities of the civil society, and as we were still recognized as relevant entity, we discussed in this particular case the subject of the organization of one parallel session for youth (WSIS' Youth 2005) with the Tunisian governmental responsables in charge, notably Mr Minister of ICT's and Transport, and with the State Secretary of Computers and Internet. They asserted their interest for the involvement of youth in such events : the next phase of WSIS Tunis 2005 and reminded their encouragement by the possibility of logistic coverage for the event in concern by the used fund of 400.000 TND (EUR 250.000) which will interest this kind of initiatives and which concerns bodies and NGOs of Youth, Women and Handicapped persons, from poor/under-developped countries .
We really look in this direction : Cooperation and united participation of various organizations to follow a process which succeeds afterward towards the WSIS' Youth 2005.

Multiple interviews and articles were published and evoked in the Tunisian media ( Newspapers, Radio and National Television) and the main subject of which underlines the necessity and the importance youth involvement and contribution in ideas and Opinion regarding WSIS issues and the information society: the tomorrow's society .

By this update, I am launching a call to all youth of the world to mobilize around this subject, especially that the deadline for the seizure of the paralleles sessions to be organized for WSIS Tunis2005 was fixed for the date of September, 2004.
