<br>
Please find attached in Word and RTF formats the near final version fo the CS
visionary statement, to be presented formally on Wednesday December 10. We
request your comments to this text to the drafting committee by TODAY, December
7, by 4pm, CET.<br>
<br>
Note that this text has already received wide input from caucuses and working
groups, has undergone several stages of consultation, and must be ready to give
to translators by Monday if we are to have it translated and available for wide
endorsement on Wednesday. The drafting committee will do final edits this
afternoon. <br>
<br>
In this light, we request that you comment only if there are SERIOUS omissions
or corrections necessary, and to submit corrected text. It is much too late for
completely new text or sections.<br>
<br>
There will be a final opportunity to discuss the text tomorrow (Monday,
December 8) at a plenary meeting at the ITU, room C, at 9am.<br>
<br>
Thanks for your consideration and rapid action on this. Apologies for the
extremely short time frame, and for only having the draft text available in
English.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
Rik Panganiban<br>
