[WSIS CS-Plenary] Proposed statement to GFC on paras 10, 11 and 29

[Jean-Louis FULLSACK]

Dear Parminder and all
I'd suggest thet we insist on maintaining the two-way path for the "after-Tunis" period, namely implementation (mainly of the objectives of the Geneva Action Plan possibly completed by Tunis agreements) and follow-up process more focusd on IS concepts and applications . 
A third principle was proposed during PrepCom-2, namely an evaluation process and associated body. This should be on the agenda for the forthcoming discussions.

NB : Of course time is too short now to modify/complete the statement proposed by Parminder. In that case CSDPTT would endorse the submitted statement..

Hi All, 
 
The following is the two-para statement that I propose organisations and individuals endorse in the next 15 hours. I can forward the statement in the names of those who endorse it on this list in this time-period. 
 
 
1.    The undersigned organisations and individuals from the Civil Society strongly oppose the move to make the proposed changes in paras 10, 11 and 29 of the operational part of the Tunis document, as per the new input document circulated by the chair of the GFC. These changes are too drastic, they do not represent the contributions of the various stakeholders to the existing text, and their acceptance will defeat the stated purpose of the Tunis summit, described as the ‘summit of solutions’, to make some real headway in implementing the promises of the Geneva summit. 
 
2.    We will like to see the present suggested mechanism, based on stakeholder teams around action lines with a well-defined overall co-ordination body, as contained in the existing paras 10, 11 and 29, improved and elaborated through a multi-stakeholder consultative process to ensure that an adequate and necessary post-WSIS structure is in place, not only for implementing the outcomes of WSIS but also to take up Information Society issues as they come up. 
 
Thanks Bill. I count CPSR on.
 
Parminder

Hi Parminder,
 
I agree with your agreement;-)  We have run out the clock without moving toward closure.  If the CSB (if we view this as a process matter) or C&T (if instead it's substance) could rally around a consensus statement in the next eight hours, that would be great, but I don't suspect it will happen.  An alternative would be a sign on statement from accredited NGOs.  I don't know if you have the bandwidth today to coordinate this, I alas don't, but if we had a concise one paragraph text along the lines of your first point below, orgs could send you their endorsements for listing at the bottom of a doc.  Of course, this would only be effective if there were some critical mass.  Should you decide to go for it, feel free to list CPSR as an endorser.
 
Best,
 
Bill
