>> I therefore repeat the initial questions :

>> Quote :
>>
>> """1) About CS speaking slots :
>>
>> - 12 speakers is indeed a very limited number - designation of the 
>> speakers by CS is a welcome evolution - even if we know it is hard. 
>> Will there be a formal confirmation ?
>> - CS means accredited CS entities to the WSIS process; - speakers are 
>> less important than CONTENT ; the question is : what does CS want to 
>> say ?
>>
>> Therefore, there is a key discussion to hold within CS on :
>> - what kind of statements it wants to make (general intervention on 
>> the process, formal Declaration, announcement, initiative ....?) - on 
>> what topics (process, thematic ...)
>> - with what consultation and drafting process (this is the most 
>> important, and a good opportunity to cristallize the methods 
>> presently under discussion)
>>
>> Consequence : there may be a joint mandate between CSB, WGWM and 
>> Content and Themes to design an appropriate drafting process for 
>> these statements. Could also be the purpose of the Stategy Group that 
>> Ralf was proposing to relaunch.
>>
>> Similar discussion on the panels. There is a big challenge to avoid 
>> the mess we faced in preparing for Geneva. By the way, should not 
>> here be a collective effort by civil society to organize a series of 
>> events in the parallel conference space ? Each Caucus could for 
>> instance organize a roundtable on its own topic and invite actors to 
>> participate.
>>
>> Renate wrote : "The process of identification of CS speakers should 
>> ideally be finalized by the end of PrepCom III". Am I right in 
>> understanding this as being a deadline for CS to design its process 
>> and not a way to say that the WSIS ES will finalize a method for that 
>> date ?""""
