[WSIS CS-Plenary] Moving on

[Renata Bloem]

Dear all,

 

I think we all have enough of the ping pong between a few and will reinvest
some positive thinking for the PC2. I thank Joseph and Vreni for making the
point.

 

While it is important to air out differences and frustrations on certain
issues, this should be done in small groups concerned, ideally moderated, to
find common ground. 

 

It is vital that in the overall discussion on CS –UN relations we do not
loose what we have gained in the WSIS, including in the WGIG (It is one of
best practices in the UN)

I am currently in New York for discussions on modalities for CS
participation in the Mill.+5 Summit, in which the WSIS concept is not at all
yet accepted.  (Some Governments would just be too happy to hear this kind
of bickering to completely dismiss us)

 

We will organize a Briefing on Millennium + 5 on Wednesday, 16 February,
13:00-15:00 and I hope and look forward to seeing many of you face to face.

Cheers,

Renata
