[WSIS CS-Plenary] All Male Panel discussion during UN ECOSOC Session - 5 July 2007

[Kalas Patrick DEZA KPT]

Dear colleagues

We are in agreement with the need to include an increased gender
perspective into panel discussions and for your information Gerolf
Weigel made an intervention during the panel highlighting precisely this
aspect.  

With best wishes
