[WSIS CS-Plenary] List of NGO reps in Hammamet and question of govt. relation

[Paul Maassen]

Hi all,

The Dutch delegation had one CS member during the last 
prepcoms and the first summit itself, the representative being me 
on behalf of Hivos (NGO working with 850 partners in devloping 
countries on issues such as human rights, aids, economics and 
ICT4D). The Dutch delegation also had a youth representative 
during the summit.

The same delegation met last april to discuss phase 2. There is a 
quite open flow of information both ways. Hivos, together with 
Oneworld Netherlands and IICD led a consultation of Dutch civil 
society and presented recommendations to the Dutch government 
for the first WSIS. 

Hivos will not participate in the upcoming prepcom, but intends to 
participate along the process, also again as a member of the 
official Dutch delegation. The costs for this participation are paid for 
by Hivos, not by the ministery.

Kind regards,

paul
