<DIV><SPAN class=687342615-20092005>The various recommendations are
excellent. However, I would like to add one general point with regard to
the first item below. One of the major criticisms of the benchmarks
and themes, plan of action of the (government) Geneva Declaration was that it
did not go far enough and led to the writing of the CS Declaration. The
statement below appears to support the government Declaration. While as a
minimum this is important, it is also essential to include the benchmarks
and thematic clusters from the CS Declaration, or why did we bother drafting
it? </SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=687342615-20092005>One example which applies to the Health and
ICT Working Group was the inclusion of the recognition of both physical and
mental health information. There were a number or other themes as
well. </SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=687342615-20092005>It is critical not to overlook the

include these and inclusively move forward on all previous CS

<BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">
<DIV>Dear all,</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>Following a first meeting of the Group on Sub-Committee B (aka Working
Group on Implementation and Follow-up) monday evening, please find below the
draft intervention for Tuesday afternoon session. This will be the first
session of the committee and no agreement has so far been reached by
governments on which text the discussion will start upon. </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>In this context, the choice has been made to focus the ipreliminary
ntervention on a few basic principles and components, building on
previous CS statements from the last two years. This will form the basis for
more concrete formulations in the coming days, once we know the text that will
form the basis for negociation. </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>Comments are welcome. but the final version will have to be finalized by
lunchtime tuesday and the presentation should not last longer than three to
four minutes (Nnenna will pronounce it). So please rather edit than add.
</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for taking the time to read this. The draft is sent to the Plenary
for today, but successive interventions will be circulated on the newly opened
followup mailing list (please subscribe at : <A
