[WSIS CS-Plenary] FWD: Re: [CS Bureau] Draft minutes for today's CSB meeting

[mpazello at oi.com.br]

Dear CSB members,

I'm quite surprise again and dissapointed with how decisions are made
within CSB, in special related the famous sunday meeting. Is very sad
to see that the bureau is not working in an open and transparent way.

Proposal and demands sent by me was not taking in account:
a) to held the first CSB meeting just on Monday lunch time;
b) to point out what is in the CONGO's undrestanding really very urgent
within the agenda;
c) the correct time of the meeting despite the proposal to postpone it.

I'm surprise even more because CONGO dind't sent the announcement of the
sunday meeting and the correct time. The last message sent by Phillippe
on this topic inform that the bureau meeting on Sunday at 10:30. But
the meeting was hold at 15:00. Why it  was not announced in the bureau
mailing list? I couldn't find out its annoucement. Why I was not advise
of that yesterday when we met?

I make a proposal trying to reach a time slot that the members that is
also involved in the advocacy work could attend the bureau meeting too,
but my messages was not taking in account. It is uncceptable at this
point. I strong call to recover the transparency of this work otherwise
it will be a shame.

BTW: I want to express my position related to the decision agreed on
Sunday: I disagree with the CSB request the floor to speak in
Sub-Committee B, if the caucuses and groups want
to make a statement on follow-up mechanism must do that as we always is
doing as Caucus not as CSB. Include because is necessary discuss what
wich caucus and families think about could be the best mechanism for CS
participation. And it needs to be discussed in the plenary.  There is no
reason to do that and it is not the CSB mandate. Nothing against the
speak it self, I disagree with the way and on behalf it was proposed
tol be done. So this decision need to be revised urgently.
