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

Thu Oct 13 08:06:27 BST 2005

I do support this proposal to re nominate Richard
Stallman. Sorry if he is american or with another
nationality, sorry if he is a man and not a woman,
sorry if his speach will probably be in a very good
English, sorry if he will be dressed as a real civil
society representative without a VIP dress, but he is
a world known leader who fight for our goals.
All the best
