[WSIS CS-Plenary] Re: [CS Bureau] Review of CSB bureau

In French bellow
Amir,
Thank you for your understanding.I really hope it stop
the discussion.
In Paris, and additionnaly to our effort to make, if
possible, more visible the Civile Society, colleagues
present at this meeting call for the reactivation of
the CSB as it was functionning during the Geneva and
Tunis process, even if certain members decided to stop
their participation. The idea is also that the CBS try
to make it sure that in May 2007, in Geneva we should
be able to renew democratly and in transparency the
CBS for the future, in cooperation with Regional and
Themathic Caucus existing or to be created.
Now that the Civile society thanks to the effort of
all  is gaining a certain visibility and credibility
we are not going to show our limits to meet the
challenge.
Friendly
Djilali 
Je remercie Amir pour son analyse et espère qu'elle
clarifie et clot le débat.
Quelques membres du Bureau de la Société Civile (CSB)
présent à l'UNESCo Paris, en plus des efforts pour
donner plus de visibilité à la société civile dans les
débats, ont oser faire un appel pour relancer et
réactiver le CSB tel qu'il a fonctionné durant la
phase Genève et Tunis du SMSI. La mission de cette
phase de relance serait aussi la préparation d'ici le
rendez vous de mai 2007 les modalités de renforcement 
du CSB ou de son remplacement démocratiquement et dans
la transparence avec la participation active des
caucus existant ou qui viendront à ce créer d'ici là.
Maintenant que la société civile commence à jouir d'un
commencement de statut de partenaire nous allons pas
afficher nos limites et notre renoncement à relever le
défi.
Amitiés
Djilali
