[WSIS CS-Plenary] RE: [grassroots-caucus] Speakers for Tunis

[Veronica Peris]

I would like to endorse Anuradha's statement.what purpose would be served if
this huge segment at whom information needs to reach is not represented.it
would be attempting to run a car without wheels, in my opinion.  Isnt this
what WSIS and the UN is all about?

Dear Rik,

Thanks for your mail giving clarification on the selection procedure for the
speakers at Tunis.

.

Looking into your requirements, I think our nominees meet them all.
Probably the CS plenary may not have seen them face to face, but at their
own level within their communities they are at High Levels in their
organisation (Community Based Organisation)).  They are well aware about the
WSIS process and have been involved in the regional meetings organised by
Grassroots Caucus.  Their contributions towards building an information
society within their community is unparalleled. Ofcourse I don't need to
clarify on their ability to speak, with which they have mobilised their own
communities towards development.

 

I think its unrealistic to consider grassroots communities as mere
beneficiaries, but considered as prime movers/parcipants in  the whole WSIS
process.

 

Iam sure this would help you to consider one of the grassroots caucus
nominees to share their views at WSIS.

 

Regards

Anuradha
