[WSIS CS-Plenary] What's happening?

[lissjeffrey at sympatico.ca]

Hi Lisa


Please confirm the information here if you can.
We are monitoring for Canadians

http://wsis.ecommons.ca


We have been watching the web cast with some astonishment.
It is so disconnected
like 3 minutes of fame

The blogs from Wsis 2 seem like a bubble, an oasis.

Only the Swiss rep discussed the human rights voilations (but we did not see 
it all).

We are doing an event with citizens-summit.org
this afternoon

17 - 18 H EDT

but it is all so disconnected

>Good question. Thanks, Vittorio. I've been sitting here in Ohio, wondering

>respect to work as opposed to events that are being put on. Curious minds

>>Hello,
>>
>>while I understand the extremely peculiar situation we live in... I think 
>>that there should be some more circulation of information among civil 
>>society people here - even if not through the plenary list, when 
>>appropriate.
>>
>>Today the Swiss President speech was apparently censored by the Tunisian 
>>TV, as well as Ms. Ebadi's one. Her press conference was subsequently 
>>cancelled and no one here knows why. Civil society connectivity from our 
>>offices apparently started to misfunction. No one knows what's happening 
>>with the Citizens' Summit, many of us don't even know where to go if they 
>>want to attend it.
>>
>>We want to be helpful, and at the same time we think we should be informed 
>>of what goes on about such crucial human rights issues, that go well 
>>beyond specific parts of the Information Society agenda, and should affect 
>>also our behaviour in the work of all caucuses at this Summit. Please 
>>let's find a way to exploit all the resources that civil society has.
>>
>>Thanks,
