[WSIS CS-Plenary] John Gagain's note: Does Civil Society Plenary not exist?

[Sally Burch - ALAI]

I also agree that Sean's five points reflect the reality of the process.

And I would add that if it is a case of citing precedents, in every UN 
world conference in which we have participated a civil society 
plenary has functioned and been the main locus of decision making.

There has also usually been a coordinating group, but as Sean 
mentions, there is no precedent for a bureau, nor "families" for that 
matter.  Which doesn't, of course, mean we can't innovate.
