WSF 2004: events registration deadlines and procedures


To register events or self organized activities for the WSF 2004, that will
take place in Mumbai, India, from January 16 to 21 of next year go to the
following link: www.wsfindia.org/event2004/.

At present, the form is only available in the English version but, soon, it
will be also available in French and Spanish.

The registration format has changed regarding the last three editions of the
WSF, in Porto Alegre. It will be carried out in two steps.

Phase I: In the first moment, it will be registered the self-organized
activities, i.e., seminars, workshops, meetings etc. That registration can
be made till September, 30 2003. The proposition of activities only can be
made by organizations (not individuals).

Phase II: In the second moment, it will be possible to do the registration
of organizations and its delegates. This will start on next week and goes to
November, 30 2003.

Deadlines anticipation

The deadlines for registration of activities were anticipated regarding the
last three editions of WSF (in Porto Alegre). This is to facilitate the
interlinkage among those activities and to allow that the general program of
the WSF2004 be available in anticipation for the public who will attend the
event so they can prepare its participation in Mumbai. The WSF organization
does not intend to reopen the registration process for activities after the
deadlines. For 2004, it was established a maximum limit of 04 activities per
organization.

During October, it will be prepared a first evaluation of all proposals, in
order to identify double registration and to see which activities can be
unified. That work will be carried out by the India Organizing Committee in
collaboration with the IC commission on content and thematic. In that
occasion, they will meet  in order to define the set of activities
programmed by the WSF organizers. Also, there will be consultations to the
proponents to insure adequate space and time available for the activity. All
the activities will be accepted (maximum of 04 activities by organization),
except those which are not in accordance with the WSF Charter of Principles.

In October-November, the organizations will receive a confirmation of their
activities. Anther change regarding the former forums is that the
organization that is proposing an event shall pay the registration fee of at
least one delegate as soon as possible. The registered activities not paid
until beginning November 2003 will be canceled.

Registration calendar

Activities: until September, 30
Organizations and delegates: until November, 30
