Criticisms are very easy to come by.
The point is : what are the other proposasl being writen by CS and
submitted for
a multi-stakeholder coordinating body ?

The prospect looks very sad about the outcome of the Summit
where all the works that has been done is going  to turn be useless.

A statement by the
the indigenous caucus has taken the courageous decision to take the
responsality to making
a speech in that direction that would preserve the
advantages that the Civil Society has fought so hard to get in
the first phase, thanks to the helping hand of Adama Samassékou, that
took the decision to recognize the CSB.

In the second phase, we did not have such an help,  and the end result
is that all the advantages that have been gained by the CS are going to
be lost.

The real outrage is that not enough has been done in terms of advocacy
to obtain a multi-stakeholder coordinating body.
In the CS plenary tonight, from the reports I have heard from the
Subcom, the mood
was towards self-congratulation.   I could not stay more time.
Franlky, I believe, unless there is a last minute miracle, that the
second phase of
the Summit is a failure.
No itemized implementation of the WSIS recommendations has been agreed upon
as I suggested many times.  UN agencies are going to implement ( or not
implement )
according to their own interpretation without  even quoting recommendations
that have the result of such intense work.

Best regards

Francis
