<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Dear all</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>This is a wonderful suggestion from our Korean colleagues.
Though I will not be in Paris, I think this is important from the perspective of
Internet Rights, and would be interested in participating in sourcing and
managing this info even beyond the intersessional meeting.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>As I assume many will also not be in Paris next week,
maybe through this list country assessments could still be submitted online, and
pursued as an ongoing project by all civil society groups/country stakeholders.
Concretely I am suggesting that:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>1) The Surveillance Status Report session be docoumented
and translated and shared online to all of us not there.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>2) Someone (Korean Civil Society Network? APC Internet
Rights people?) suggest a short outline or framework of national
situationers/status reports. This could facilitate uniformity of formats for
documentation and comparison purposes. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>3) All reports received could then be put into a database
or uploaded into a website (ideally both), which could be the repository of all
of this. (AT least the regional data for Asia-Pacific could be uploaded to the
WSIS CS Asia site?)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>4) <FONT face=Arial>Link up with other people doing
similar surveys (APC again, Reporters San Frontieres, etc.) so that info could
be shared.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>4) One of the CS "families" adopt this as a project, that
could be integrated in the planned Communication Rights Summit parallel to WSIS.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Thoughts?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Al</FONT></DIV>
