<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2>Dear Renata,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2>Thank you for clarification. Then, can we modify
"Decisions taken" in the current minutes into "Recommendations
(Proposals) made" before it is circulated to plenary list? Bureau
has known to have a poor record of consultation with CS plenary
even though it was not necessarily true. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2>As it was pointed out in Cape Town,
bureau has been designed to play a role of interface between
governments and CS in the context of procedural matters to facilitate
CS participation in the WSIS. Therefore, it would be appropriate final
decision of bureau proposals (recommendations) should
be made by CS plenary not by bureau.</FONT></DIV>
