Hey Atanu!
How are your own plans for national youth WSIS activities going?
I suggest that people can call their activities whatever they like. For example, come up with a cool sounding "brand" for your activities in your country. That'd probably be more attractive and youth friendly. "Consultation" might work in some countries where the primary activities are consulting with young people about what they think about the information society. But in many places, it goes further than that -- actually trying to change policies to make them more relevant, trying to connect up youth ICT activites, and developing new concrete projects....
In terms of an overall update on the campaigns, Christine and I at TakingITGlobal are seeking funds from various people. Get back to you on that in the next few days.
Best wishes,
Nick

Subject: [wsisyouth] The title - National Youth CampaignHello:
WSIS National Youth Campaigns are on its way to began.But have you noticed the word "campign" in it? Let me point out that the word "campign" connotes:A series of military operations undertaken to achieve a large-scale objective during a war: Grant's Vicksburg campaign secured the entire Mississippi for the Union. An operation or series of operations energetically pursued to accomplish a purpose: an advertising campaign for a new product; a candidate's political campaign. http://www.yourdictionary.com/ahd/c/c0052500.html It is ofcourse true that Youth Caucus is popularising the concpet or campaigning of information society.But the main theme is to bring out a policy document that would be incorporated in the global Youth Caucus views and to chart out a map of the place of youth in the national information scoeities.
If it is so then instead of using the word capaign using the word "consultation" would be appropriate.
