[WSIS CS-Plenary] Re: Speaker nomination process [u]

[Elizabeth K. Carll, PhD]

As part of the *etc listed below, the Health and ICT Working Group in
collaboration with other interested groups will be submitting a statement on
health (to include both physical and mental health). Although, some of us
believe that health is more than an "etc" issue.

"The  WSIS Health and ICT Working Group is committed to promoting
utilization and access to both traditional
media and newer information and communication technologies (ICT), globally,
for the purpose of fostering  physical and mental health and resilience and
advocating for the prevention and treatment of physical and mental illness."

If you are interested in joining the Health and ICT Working Group, contact
wsishealth-and-ict at yahoogroups.com

Best regards,

Elizabeth

I think it is important that speakers have a clear message, both to themes
and to procedures. First we havwe to clarify what we want to communicate to
the summit and the other stakeholders, and then we can discuss who is the
most convincing person able to deliver the right message in a right tone.

With regard to themes, I think we need statements for
* financing
* human capacity building
* integration of MDG goals and WSIS aims&principles
* IPR
* Internet Governance (both instiutional aspects as well as issue aspects)
* Gender
* freedom of expression
* community media
* privacy and data protection
* training & research (Divinas Declarration)
* etc.

With regard to procedures
* multistakeholderism (in general, conceptual aspects)
* follow up & implementation
* possibilities for formalization (an enhanced but simplified version of the
convention idea)

And again, I say this as a member of the Bureau, the receommednations has to
come from the Caucus and WGs. The CSB is for procedural aspects only. CSB
has to fight for speaking slots, but not to decide about content related
issues.

I still think that after 2 years, it might be a good idea to revisit
the names proposed in Geneva to see if in fact they are ok for the
Tunis summit - or if we want to consider additional names.

The CSB is the body in charge of logistics, but as a bureau member
i'm disappointed that no planning,  or discussion of any kind  is
taking place on the bureau list. Personally i would prefer that needs
be identified well in advance so that a discussion and agreement can
be obtained on how the logistical needs - such as speakers,
overpasses, etc - can be taken done.

You and others seem to propose that we just adopt the speakers
suggested from the discussion 2 years ago, well that's definitely a
possibility. Let's see what others have to say - and see if there's
agreement. if so, fine we have a solution. If not, then let's see
which additional names might come up. That's all I propose

regards,

Robert
