[WSIS CS-Plenary] About comments to the documents

[John R. Gagain Jr.]

Dear Sally:

What do you mean by this statement:

"We cannot, of course, expect a consensus document to be perfect for everyone;
that is part of the compromise that consensus implies."

Sincerely,

John R. Gagain Jr.
Director, Center for the Study of Globalization
Representative, International Organizations
Global Foundation for Democracy and Development (FUNGLODE)

Thanks to everyone who has sent in comments on the document.
We will do our best to incorporate the suggested modifications.
except, perhaps, any are likely to be particularly polemical or that
would considerably lengthen the document.  We will consider what
to do with the proposal on work/employment (sent in Spanish). In
effect this is an important issue and maybe we should give it the
space even if it means lengthening the document.  I will post the
proposal to the list in English shortly for others to comment.

With respect to any other issues that are missing and would
require more lengthy development, we should remember that there
will also be space to address more specific issues in greater detail
in specific documents.

We would have liked to get the document out earlier for comment
but as much of the caucus input only came in this week it was not
possible.  So those who have made suggestions for modifications,
it would help us if you could send us specific and concise language
today.  We want to finalize the document by tomorrow to give time
to those who prefer to see the final version before endorsing it.

We cannot, of course, expect a consensus document to be perfect
for everyone; that is part of the compromise that consensus implies.

Sally
