Ralf:

Thanks for the hard work trying to co-ordinate the numerous inputs  
and submissions for the WSIS civil society declaration.

The whole summit process has been a long adventure, that that has  
lasted about 4 years.  In that 4 years we've all learned much about  
each other, and the process as a whole.

One specific point that should be obvious by now is that when one  
calls for specific and concise revisions one knows what that means.  
it means specific changes , specific words to be revised - not an  
interpretation of a text.

It is with utter amazement that I see that at this point in time ,  
certain people don't get what that means.  With almost month passed  
after the summit has concluded I would personally suggest that you  
wrap and finalize the text by this weekend. It is the day you  
mentioned as a deadline - and it should be so respected.

Should particular person believe that the CS declaration does not go  
far enough, or doesn't incorporate their views - then, the choice is  
simple, they should produce a text of their own. Freedom of  
expression means just that...


regards

Robert
