[WSIS CS-Plenary] Governmental Bureau and First PrepCom

[Adam Peake]

Dear Djilali,

You have identified an important problem.  Why 
don't you try to fix the problem?  Of course you 
can't change the world, but you can start by 
translating 1 or 2 notes.

There is a  problem.  You volunteer to fix it. 
That's how Civil Society works.  1 message each 
week.  Good luck.

(I was going to try and use Google to translate 
this note, but the computer I am using today 
turns French non-ascii characters into Japanese 
characters, so my apologies for no attempt at 
providing any French!)

Thanks,

Adam
