>> Hello Richard and Elizabeth and all:
>>
>> Thanks for "budgeting" (!) time and energies for this.
>>
>> Relatedly, I have prepared a poster showing the high respect paid
>> to "Respect" in the Civil Society Statement.  This echoes the happy
>> prominence of RESPECT direct-mentions-and-thematic-references in
>> the major WSIS documents which I am writing about.  About which I
>> am writing...
>>
>> I think this pervasively agreed on and U.N. compatible WSIS
>> Respect4Respect couldwouldshould  be a great thing to mention in
>> press releases.  And the continuity with some of the major
>> statements.
>>
>> This is a suggestion from the *Respectful Interfaces* perspective.
>> I much appreciate your ongoing dialogue on these matters and
>> approaches.
>>
>> Best holiday wishes all, and the same always, LDMF.
>> Dr. Linda D. Misek-Falkoff.

>> Hi, Everyone, I would agree with Elizabeth about the timing, but of
>> course here at UN Headquarters everyone is involved in the budget

>> budget negotiations. Not a joking matter, sorry if it sounds a
>> little ludicrous.
>>
>> I think that before any press release goes out on a FINAL to
>> governments that at least it be available for viewing by the entire

>>
>> I recall that when I was the Rapporteur of the Lanzarote World
>> Conference on Sustainable Tourism, that in the final text version
>> of the declaration that was only able to be distributed in English
>> at the final session, that I worked with the French and Spanish
>> interpretation team, since quite often terms in one language are

>>
>> If there are simultaneous English, French and Spanish, great, but
>> if only an English goes out to all governments, I am sure that
>> Elizabeth would not object to letting all of us check the release
>> out, at least for a 24-hour period.
>>
>> My understanding is that Chanukah is on the 26th, and Boxing Day et
>> al. is also the 26th.
>>
>> So are we talking about a finished media release BY the 26th or
>> AFTER the 26th, and for release before December 30 (a Friday, very
>> little work may be done in UN Missions or country capitols on the
>> 30th?
