Hello,
I support the Avri proposal requiring more foccus on
our comments and proposals. The risk is that each
Working Group will deal with all issues and probably
in fine it will be very difficult to harmonize and
prioritize all proposals.
If we take the example of WGIG and Finance CS-WG we
are obliged in each group to discuss issues of the
other group. How to coordinate our actions ? 
Salut,
J'appuie la proposition d'Avri recommandant un plus
grand foccus dans nos reflexions, commentaires et
propositions qui risquent de diverger d'un groupe de
discussion à l'autre.
Si nous prenons les groupes qui travaillent sur la
gouvernance et sur le financement cela est clair que
chacun des deux groupes traite et de son domaine et de
celui du 2ème groupe, cela doit se vérifier pour
l'ensemble des autres groupes. Comment traiter ce défi
pour aboutir à des analyses et des recommandations de
la société civile concordantes et ne pas donner à
Tunis l'impression de la misère, du désordre et du
cahos d'une société civile alibi des puissantes
multinationales.
