(1) Is accreditation closed?

WSIS process continues up to 2005 and its accreditation process
also does continue. The accreditation process for PrepCom II(Geneve, 
Feb 17 - 28) was finished as of Jan. 5. Further accreditation process is 
to start again for PrepCom III and so on.

(2) Should the organization be strictly three-year old?

Every rule has some exception and we can check this with
some people there who deals with Civil Society accreditation.

The challenge for the WSIS process is we should get "consensus" 
to get all the participants sign the document. It will take "long" for 
everybody to agree on the action items this group wants to put forward. 

On the other hand, as long as we start to have more supporters for
"At-Large" concept with "Rights to be represented" through this process, 
it is worth for us to participate in this process.

At this current juncture in the WSIS, these are too specific.
