[WSIS CS-Plenary] What's going on ? "CS" Press release and"CS"-Private sector joint statement

[Rikke Frank Joergensen]

Which was actually how we worked during prepcom3a where we produced a
widely endorsed text within 24 hours.. (with a small drafting group and
one main drafter = ralf)

As an alternate possibility for the "full participation" method (i.e.
writing a draft, asking everyone in the plenary for objections, etc.)
you could use a different method when you don't have enough time: you
could ask the plenary to appoint a small sub-group (or even just one
individual) tasked with collecting all inputs and writing the final
statement. 

If the individual(s) will not do a good job, and the result will not be
representative or acceptable to almost all, the next time possibly the
plenary will appoint someone else.

The only requirement for this, again, is to have a clear method for
appointing people by the plenary - something that still (especially
online) we lack.
