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.
