[WSIS CS-Plenary] CS Declaration: next steps

[Elizabeth Carll, PhD]

Francis,  Jean-Louis, and all,

It is important to have input from as many as possible. However, it is also important that the Declaration/Statement be timely.  I agree with Jean-Louis and Francis' recommendation for a need for a bit more time and that the Statement should be published in the very beginning of the year.  From a media perspective, the holidays in December would not be good timing.  However, the first week in January would be very good and we could tie the WSIS CS Declaration/Statement to Civil Society's New Year Resolutions for world communication, knowledge, and peace.

Therefore, we should finalize in December to be sent to the media for January 1st.

Hello

The call from Jean-Louis makes senses.
There is no emergency in getting the CS declaration out.
It is quite important that this CS declaration receives
contributions from non-english speaking stakeholders.

Best regards

Francis
PS: I have got no time to have a look at the CS
declaration yet and have discussions with constituencies.

Bonjour

La proposition de Jean-Louis est tout à fait raisonnable.
Il n'y a pas d'urgence à publier cette déclaration de la
Société Civile.
Par contre, il est très important que cette déclaration
reçoive des contributions d'acteurs non-anglophones.

Cordialement depuis le Nord sous la pluie, la neige et
le Froid.

Francis

Buenos días

La propuesta de Jean-Louis es totalmente razonable.
No hay que publicar urgentemente,
esta declaración de la Sociedad Civil.
Por el contrario, es muy importante que esta declaración reciba 
contribuciones de protagonistas que estan no anglófonas.

Abrazos del Norte, con la lluvia, la nieve y el frío

Francisco
