[WSIS CS-Plenary] Next GFC Meetings

[Ralf Bendrath]

Hi Philippe,

thanks for passing this news.

As this is pretty unusual (I don't want to talk about a scandal yet):

Did they give any resons for this or at least tried to excuse this behaviour?

> In spite of what was proposed by President Karklins, during the GFC 
> Informal Consultation (13 June), the WSIS Bureau decided *not to invite 
> Civil Society observers to attend the next GFC meetings* (27 June, 4 
> July and 11 July 2005).
> These meetings will be open to representatives of GFC Members and 
> observers from governments *ONLY*.

Thanks, Ralf
