[WSIS CS-Plenary] May 2nd Consultation - bases covered

[djilali benamrane]

Hi Jean Louis !
I shall not attend the Geneva "ITU Wsis follow up
meeting"... I have not been invited as many colleagues
of the CSB. Thanks for the information consisting on
the Unical English language decided by ITU... Poor
other languages users invited to the meeting...
Perhaps between english speakers, discussions should
be more "conviviales", more "plaisantes et
complaisantes"....
Anyway, have a good meeting and don't forget that you
will also be a relevant representative of our
Discussion Group on Finance issues. We are waitting
for your comments and reporting....
All the best
