[WSIS CS-Plenary] CS speakers from ITU for opening, roundtable and high level panel

[Tracey Naughton]

Hello

It was stated in two Content and Themes meetings, several other  
places and to various individuals, that  Adama Samassékou was going  
to be speaking at the end of the Summit. This was known and  
transmitted during PrepCom 3. Further, it was stated that though he  
was honoured to have been considered for his active engagement in  
civil society, he knew  his allegiance with the government /  
diplomatic sphere would place him in a situation he did not want to  
be in.

I note that people who were present in the Content and Themes meeting  
engaged anyway in the discussion about  Adama Samassékou.

It was also stated at Content and Themes in the presence of the ITU  
representative, that this could be considered a strong appreciation  
for the consistent approach to multi-stakeholderism taken by  Adama  
Samassékou from the outset of WSIS, though we knew he could not  
accept it as a direct invitation. I have no doubt his solidarity with  
civil society will be reflected in what he says in the final stage of  
the WSIS process.
