RE: Speaker for ICT Standards for Public Warning

Veronique, Joan: I’m pleased that WHO is prepared to make a presentation at this event. However, I confirm on my own, the program committee needs to look into it, which is why I am copying them.

Dee: would Veronique’s proposed presentation fit into the slot that opened because of the speaker’s cancellation?

Program committee: do we all agree that we should accept WHO’s proposed presentation (keeping in mind that our original intent was to have a speaker from WHO).

Thanks and best,

Richard

Dear Carol,

Following up on our various exchanges I am proposing that WHO would speak at your meeting on the challenges of implementing the International Health Regulations at country level, and globally for WHO in providing the technical assistance, guidance, monitoring and evaluation system to all member states. As these Regulations enter into force in June 2007 requiring all countries to report on diseases of epidemic potential, this presentation will provide a perspective on how standards must be improved to face these challenges. If you feel this topic is suitable for your conference, could you kindly send an invitation (with a cc to me) to:

Dr Véronique Inès THOUVENOT
Scientist - International Health Regulation

Best wishes,
