[WSIS CS-Plenary] General overviews and resources on WSIS follow up and implementation process

[Johan Hellström]

Dear All,
Thank you Phillippe for this post-WSIS update, very timely indeed. I am
about to go to Kigali and the ITU and GAID organised Connect Africa Summit
end of this month. Will there be any organised civil society
involvement/attendance? It is supposed to be an informal process with the
GAID aim to provide "a platform for an open, inclusive, multi-stakeholder
cross-sectoral policy dialogue", still the format of the conference seems to
be something else, ie following a traditional, exclusive high level panel
debate format where most of the issues are already discussed and decided.
Anyone who knows more about this or CS role in this process?
Best regards, Johan
