[WSIS CS-Plenary] GFC meeting in January 2005

[rsagun at takingitglobal.org]

Dear Renata,

In response to your call for inputs to the upcoming GFC meeting in January
2005, I am very pleased to transmit to you and the CS Plenary the official
WSIS Youth Caucus contributions to the Political Chapeau and Operational
Part of the emerging Tunis documents. The first attachment was submitted,
in time for the 3rd GFC Meeting, to  Amb. Karklins and the WSIS Executive
Secretative last Dec. 2, 2004 (see
http://www.itu.int/wsis/gfc/docs/3/contributions/wsis-youth-caucus.doc).
The second attachment, meant for the 4th GFC Meeting, was transmitted
today. It is unfortunate that we are not in a capacity to send a
representative to this meeting thus I request for your assistance to share
and echo our positions.

Thank you and may we all have a wonderful holiday!

Warmest regards,

Robert Sagun
Policy Coordinator

Dear all,

 

Following Ramin’s notice about the GFC meeting in January, I urge all those
who can make contribution to the rolling document of 16 December to do so,
see www.itu.int/wsis/gfc/index.html#fourth . It is also of great importance
that the voice of civil society will be heard during the open meeting on
10/11 January! If you cannot come personally, please send us your comments
and contributions that they can be read during the meeting. I appeal to all
caucuses and to the CT Group which has recently emerged again, to make their
input.  There is agreement in general on the flow and structure of the
document and contributions should come to the existing chapters. Input is
wanted at this time in particular regarding proposals “How to move from
principles to action/solutions”, with other words to implementation.

Best

Renata 

 

Faisant suite à la note de Ramin concernant la réunion du Groupe des Amis du
Président (GFC) de janvier, j’encourage vivement tous ceux qui peuvent
apporter des contributions au rolling document du 16 décembre. Pour ce
faire, voir  <http://www.itu.int/wsis/gfc/index.html#fourth>
www.itu.int/wsis/gfc/index.html#fourth. Il est également très important que
la voix de la société civile soit entendue lors de la réunion ouverte du 10
janvier ! Si vous ne pouvez pas venir personnellement, veuillez s’il vous
plait nous envoyer vos commentaires et contributions afin qu’ils puissent
être lus pendant les réunions. Je fais appel à tous les caucus et au CT
group, qui a récemment émergé de nouveau, pour faire leur contribution. Il y
a généralement accord sur la structure du document et des contributions qui
devraient se référer aux chapitres existants. Des apports sont attendus en
ce moment en particulier concernant la proposition « comment passer des
principes à des solutions et l’action », en d’autres mots à la mise en
œuvre.

Cordialement,

Renata
