93<BR>e-mail: charles.geiger@ties.itu.int<BR><BR><BR>Dear Mr.
Geiger<BR><BR>We thank you for helping to resolve the matter of caucus inputs
for the 31 May 2003 deadline.<BR><BR>We send this letter on behalf of the
Civil Society Content and Themes Working Group and the thematic caucuses
within Civil Society thematic to clarify their relationships and how they
work. <BR><BR><B>Development of Content by Civil Society</B>:<BR><BR>Two types
of entities are involved in the production of content: Thematic Caucuses and
the Content & Themes Group.<BR><BR>Caucuses have the responsibility of
developing positions. A number of caucuses exist, each representing particular
thematic areas and geographic regions (e.g. Internet governance, human rights,
and communication rights). The mandate of the caucuses derives from a
consensus view reached by the Civil Society Plenary at PrepCom-1. <BR><BR>The
Content & Themes Group receives and coordinates inputs from the caucuses,
seeks broad levels of consensus on them, manages the production collective
input into WSIS. It does not itself develop content. The mandate of the
Content & Themes group also derives from a consensus view reached at
PrepCom-1.<BR><BR>Neither the Civil Society Bureau nor other types of entities
of its creation, such as “families,” have responsibility for content.
<BR><BR>Given these relationships and functions, we think that it is important
for the caucuses to be recognized in their own right. The Content & Themes
Group has coordinated and submitted input to the Secretariat in the past on
behalf of the Civil Society Plenary and the its Caucuses -- and will
likely do so when future opportunities exist -- but it is necessary for
caucuses to have the flexibility of submitting input directly.<BR><BR>We trust
that the Secretariat will recognize this requirement.<BR><BR><BR><B>Status of
the Civil Society Content & Themes Process<BR><BR></B>The Content &
Themes Group has been working closely with the caucuses since PrepCom-2.
Following a consultation it opted not to send a joint document for the May
request by the Secretariat. Instead, the caucuses decided to submit proposals
directly. <BR><BR>The Content & Themes Group is now coordinating
work among the caucuses on a priorities document based on the inputs they
prepared for the May deadline. This document will be submitted to the
Secretariat and made available to the public.
