<DIV>Dear All,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Please lets try to make a true example of "access for all".</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I ask <STRONG><U>all of you</U></STRONG> ( and some of you know of and are connected to funding sources ) to post funding opportunities for Demand 5 - Action Plan to this list so that CS groups around the world have the open opportunity to participate at WSIS.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This will be the real power of Phase II, creating <STRONG>real</STRONG> connectivity to the CS plenary - enabling freedom of expression and true access to all.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>CS members of the world lets pull together and be a true "informed society" and share with our CS members sources of funding that will enable us to be the first conference to have a true, instantaneous grass roots connection.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Those of you with language capabilities - please take on a couple of weeks of translation duties of CS plenary email each - not onerous for any one individual ?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
