<P>Dear Parminder and all</P>
<P>I'd suggest thet we insist on maintaining the two-way path for the "after-Tunis" period, namely <STRONG>implementation</STRONG> (mainly of the objectives of the Geneva Action Plan possibly completed by Tunis agreements) and <STRONG>follow-up</STRONG> process more focusd on IS concepts and applications . </P>
<P>A third principle was proposed during PrepCom-2, namely an <STRONG>evaluation</STRONG> process and associated body. This should be on the agenda for the forthcoming discussions. </P>
<P>Jean-Louis Fullsack</P>
<P>NB : Of course time is too short now to modify/complete the statement proposed by Parminder. In that case CSDPTT would endorse the submitted statement.. <BR><BR><BR><BR></P>

If the CSB (if we view this as a process matter) or C&T (if instead it's substance) could rally around a consensus statement in the next eight hours, that would be great, but I don't suspect it will happen. An alternative would be a sign on statement from accredited NGOs. I don't know if you have the bandwidth today to coordinate this, I alas don't, but if we had a concise one paragraph text along the lines of your first point below, orgs could send you their endorsements for listing at the bottom of a doc. Of course, this would only be effective if there were some critical mass. Should you decide to go for it, feel free to list CPSR as an endorser.</SPAN></FONT><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
