[WSIS CS-Plenary] WGIG interventions

[Vittorio Bertola]

All,

I would take the opportunity to stress that today will be the last day for
open WGIG consultations at this PrepCom. The floor is given rather
liberally (though you'd better go and give your name to the
Chair/Secretariat, if you want to be sure that you're not overlooked) and
yesterday, at a certain point, there were no more people willing to
intervene.

So this could be a good opportunity for civil society people to repeatedly
speak up and stress the importance of some basic points, such as
multi-stakeholderism and meaningful inclusion of civil society in
decision-making processes, respect for human rights, orientation to
development and universal access, the need to review the compliance of UN
Agencies and other governance bodies with the WSIS criteria of openness,
transparency, accountability and inclusion, and also any specific Internet
Governance issue that might be of interest to the various caucuses
(though, of course, you should take care not to go off-topic in respect to
the WGIG mission and process).

If you're there or have the opportunity to attend, please don't be afraid
to come and take the floor! We need a lot of support for civil society
inclusion and participation.

Thanks,
