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

[Carlos Afonso]

Caríssimo Jean-Louis,

We all absolutely agree with that. I am sure you all will (as we are 
trying to do at the WGIG with all our imperfections) do your best. Has 
anyone put this in doubt? I did not see any message from CS people even 
remotely raising any suspicions.

abraços fraternos
