[WSIS CS-Plenary] End of the story ?

[Dr. Francis MUGUET]

Hello from the KRAM

The PrepCom is going to formally end in a few minutes.

Concerning implementation/follow-up
The final interesting text is
review the mandate and composition of the CSTD
../.. and taking into account the multi-stakeholder
approach.

It is not a success but not a complete failure.
Diplomats told me that is up to the CS to lobby now
the ECOSOC so that the CS should be well represented.

It is suggested that in the interest of avoiding
"parachuted celebrities" that the existing
WSIS CS groupings to join forces together
1/ to present a list of possible CS representatives to ECOSOC,
while avoiding the pitfall that have plagued
the CS selection to the WGIG.
2/ that those CS representatives should not operate as
experts as in the WGIG, but on the contrary to report
to the existing CS groupings to coordinate our actions
in regards to the UN agencies and other entities
that are commited to implement the WSIS Geneva and
Tunis texts.  The task is going to be hard, as was
my experience with UNESCO, but it would become
easier and more effective if we continue our fight
together.

Best regards

Francis
