[WSIS CS-Plenary] drastic changes to the proposed WSIS implementation mechanisms in the new text

[Elizabeth Carll, PhD]

Dear Jean-Louis and Robert and all,

I recall having seen the CS Declaration posted on the WSIS/ITU website and just went and looked as Robert indicated it was not there and I could not find it!  So what happened to it?

I agree with Robert that documents should be requested to be included under NGO and CS Entities category and follow the official submission/contribution process.  

What is of interest is why the CS Declaration was removed? The CS Bureau should look into this and have it rectified and if necessary resubmit it via accredited NGOs.

Dear Elisabeth and all
The CS "alternative declaration of Geneva" is actually "posted on the official WSIS website", but this doesn't give it the status of an official WSIS document !
The most compelling proof is that "our" Declaration isn't attached to the two official ones when the latter are sent to official (e.g. the EU) and other entities.
As far as I remember, this inclusion in the "oficial WSIS doc package" of our Declaration was originally asked for by the CS but not followed by the WSIS Executive Secretariat. I even wonder if the CS Bureau ever did what needed to be done for demanding this inclusion !
Best regards
Jean-Louis Fullsack
