[WSIS CS-Plenary] CS contributions to WSIS stocktaking

[Rik Panganiban]

Dear Friends,

Further to this, I think it would be particularly important for our 
different caucuses and working groups to disseminate information about 
the stocktaking exercise to their respective networks and affiliates 
"on the ground."  I.e. the disability caucus, youth caucus, women's 
caucus, human rights caucus, telecentres caucus, indigenous peoples' 
caucus, and others must have knowledge of innovative projects being 
conducted by civil society in the field that should be part of this 
database.

 From the political front, it will be harder for us to argue for our 
seat at the table on the policy side if we are not seen as being 
involved on the other end on the implementation end.  So spread the 
word!  Put this notice on your websites and send it around to your 
lists.

Regards,

Rik Panganiban
