Fwd: [CS Bureau] re: WSIS Phase 2 -Process to Tunis

[Adam Peake]

Hello,

Any comment on the email I sent about the draft roadmap document?

It would be very helpful to get this document corrected before the 
Tunis PrepCom.  The document is clearly incorrect and should not be 
used as the basis for discussion.

As I think we learnt during the first phase, once things are in the 
PrepCom process we have limited influence.  So I am asking the CS 
bureau to write to the govt. bureau saying that the draft at 
<http://www.itu.int/council/wsis/Geneva2_04/roadmap-18-04.doc> does 
not reflect the outcome of the Summit and should be corrected before 
being presented as a draft discussion document for the first Tunis 
PrepCom. I can draft the letter, but would like some idea of there's 
agreement before I do.

I have put an edited version with the basic changes I think must be 
made online at 
<http://www.too-much.tv/glocomish/files/roadmap_ajp.doc>. An MS Word 
document with track changes.

Thanks,

Adam
