[WSIS CS-Plenary] Priority for WSIS Civil Soiciety

[YJ Park]

Hello Richard and all,

Thank you for sharing 2000 experiences.

> The Millennium NGO document, from all sides, remains unimplemented, but
that does not mean that aspects of it are not being implemented.

It is going to be a long way to ensure those principles in the document
implemented.

> Our NGO was able to make some significant impacts for current and future
work because of the Prep Com and Summit processes because we were always
looking toward Tunis right from the start.
>
> It's up to Civil Society to figure out how to proceed to Tunis and beyond,
but from my vantage point, I think creative use of collective visions can
move everyone forward.

Sometimes vintage points work out! Let's move forward.
