[WSIS CS-Plenary] Evaluation and documentation of CS in WSIS

[Robert Guerra]

Despite your long-ish message, the fact remains that the governmental  
bureau ceased to exist as soon as the summit in Tunis was concluded.  
Nothing new, that's always the case.

My point has been that a discussion needs to take place. The bureau  
structure has effectively one organization running it, and a whole  
host of Tunisian government agents still involved. Do people think  
that's fine? If not, what reforms might be done ?

I repeat my - personal - view that I think the CSB has ceased to  
exist with the end of WSIS. A new, CSB could be formed if there's a  
desire to do so - but it can't be done just by default. A charter  
would need to be struck  - it would include a clear mandate, defined  
role and limits to what the body and and can not do.

Having the CSB continue to exist just because it is convenient is not  
sufficient.


regards,

Robert
