this call is an initiative of the Civil Society Summit on the 
Information Society (CSIS) Coordinating committee - but, as you will 
see from the letter, similar to the first letter to kofi annan (1st oct 05)

"In advance of the Tunis Summit, civil society organisations 
expressed to you, in a 
<http://www.citizens-summit.org/Letter-SecGen-021005.shtml>joint 
letter of 1 October 2005, very serious concerns about the suitability 
of Tunisia as a host country. You kindly replied on 
<http://www.citizens-summit.org/letter-SecGenResp-271005.pdf>27 
October 2005, when you indicated that you shared those concerns. You 
also outlined the measures the United Nations was taking to persuade 
Tunisia to comply with its international commitments on human rights."

in that it enjoyed far wider endorsement from organisations 
(primarily CSOs) and individuals who wished to endorse..

it is not a call from the CSB or any other WSIS CS structure and is 
not intended to present itself as such.. (nor, i hope, does it)
