<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=756575207-24092005><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>Thanks Rik for taking the time to respond to me. I am
aware of what is happening at this juncture, although I am new to the
PrepCom and Summit process. I have taken time to attend the orientation, and
every single plenary in themornings and in the afternoons, including attending
IG caucus and some of SubCom B meetings and speak to the government delegates to
get their inputs of the process as well (<SPAN class=756575207-24092005><FONT
face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I have in my past life, also worked in the
diplomatic world and ICT world, both with governments, private sector and
NGOs over 20 years, I actually do know many of the delegates in the room
(Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, Brunei, US, Canada, etc, some I
have even known for more than 15 years and some of whom I have conducted
training sessions for in their countries on the very issues on the table of
PrepCom3). I have also</FONT></SPAN> truly found the orientation kit
and all these meetings very useful to understand how we can best add value to
the process. I like the comment you made about the girl who cried and the
delegate who emphathised and said but I need text.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=756575207-24092005><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>Yes, I understand that we stand now at a deadlock
point where if we take Jeanette and Adam's sugestion of not making any more
statements if we are not included in the drafting group (by the way this is
not an IG caucus position- since IG caucus did not have consultations on
this nor reach any decision on accepting their position) that this will
affect the rest of CS work next week. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=756575207-24092005><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>I did see many hands (in the minority) that were
not put up on Fri evening when Tracy took a poll of those who agreed with
Jeanette, and these hands that did not go up were from smaller places with
smaller voices but equally important voices. We in Civil Society say we want to
be inclusive and let the voices of the smallest be heared, but for now we are
being overtaken in the process by well intentioned but eloquent andloud
developed country persons who speak English very well and think they know the
process better than any of us, and albeit they come from VERY GOOD intentions
and their hard work is VERY MUCH APPRECIATED! BUT they need to realise their
working methods are excluding others intentionally or not (it can be quite
intimidating to give input at the pace they run. Many caucuses who are dealing
with organising their own selves find it hard to keep up with thier own caucus
work and the two subcom pace of work).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=756575207-24092005><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>They are also not considering that some smaller NGOs may
have come to make some impact in the process, albeit not the way SubCOm A or B
Chairs feel are useful or effective i.e. they may have statements but no
definite drafting texts yet. But the way the process is going, we cannot
underestimate that anything can make an impact. Look at how Kiki is doing a
great job getting "universal design" which she managed to put in the documents
through the World Association of the Blind through formal documents submission
and through her participation in SubCom A and B. There are others like her,
however, who have not fully understood the proces and have not been as
effective getting their voices heared. This is even more so especially
given the current methods and pace of work of the Coordinator of SubCom
A and B. Some feel intimidated just within the Civil Society process. For
people who have travelled from half way across the world e.g. the indigenous
groups, the disabled group, the non-English speaking groups and many others from
places far away from Geneva they are feeling very lost by the pace and the
"insider" working methods of CS. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=756575207-24092005><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>I have mixed feeling about whether we should take a simple
view of let's protest to make a point and then not make any more statement
and not even take our 5 minute slot. Have we thought out all
the ramifications of this and have we thought out the hardship this could
cause on those who have come to just make the voices of their constituents
heared, even though they may realistically know their voices may not be draftd
into language of text. They are ALREADY feeeling very left
out!!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=756575207-24092005><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>There were many in that room that day that did not put up
their hands as they had mixed feelings about it. Some do feel that there are
other creative ways to work within the UN system to give inputs and yes- protest
that they are not practicing what they preach (i.e if you want transparency and
multistakeholder) than do it all the way. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=756575207-24092005><FONT face=Arial

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=756575207-24092005><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>Keep in mind also that the group of government
negotiators at PrepCom 3 is not the group who will make these changes
happen NOW. We do have champions in the room but we also have diplomats in
this room be uncomfortable to make this happen overnight without
understanding the repurcussions. Don;t forget they all felt the impact of
loosing time on Monday from Subcom A by our CS issue on accreditation. Some
delegates may feel for good reasons or vested reasons but may be anxious to open
a pandora's box when they understand the sensitivy of the issue of the
government to government issues as well.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=756575207-24092005><FONT face=Arial

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=756575207-24092005><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>In any case, there is also a rational for closed
doors for some governments, as they do need the ability to discuss
openly within closed doors and not be quoted. They will be afraid to brainstorm
amongst peers, if all their meetings are open and they may get quoted as a
country position, which they may have no authority to bind their country to
their positions (many of which don;t even have a clear position from their home
offices, and are hear to learn and then make decisions- these are mainly the
smaller delegations from develping areas). So we may be hampering the process of
reaching consences if we insist to be everywhere. Instead, we should ask how we
can be most effective within these considerations. Ask for making statements
relevant- by being given actual text. Ask how we can insist on text being in
bracketts if we do not agree. and let's start preparing for a Civil Society
Declaration that we may want to present on our own in the event this all does
not work out at all!! Let's work on many fronts- not just say we "walk out" and
not even take the slots allocated to us as we may make a mockery of
"multisyakeholder"</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=756575207-24092005><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>As I said, I have worked in this this diplomatic world and
ICT world, both with governments, private sector and NGOs over 20 years, I
actually do know many of the delegates in the room. I also attended the session
you had organised with President of PrepCom, and by the way Rik,k you did
an amazing review of the past and present participation within the UN system as
a whole versus WSIS. Being an someone with a law degree and studied
International Law at the International Court of Justice and here in Geneva at
the Graduate Institute of Internatioanl studies and worked on drafting issues
within UN system, I also understood Pres of PrepCom points on working within the
limitations of the UN system and not being able to make drastic changes right
away. As he said, we are working in a world where private and public
international law is coming together, and this UN world is working hard to
include new stakeholders, by developing new types of working structures and
developing soft law approaches (MOU type rather than treaty or GA resolutions).
He did remind us that we were working within the UN Constitution as an
organisation between member states. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=756575207-24092005><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>So whilst I agree with the passion of the SubCom A and B
coordinators of making a point and that we have a unique opportunity here to
call for attention to this cause that more can indeed be done, I also do
not think that we should be careful to speak for all Civil Society as others may
have other views on this.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=756575207-24092005><FONT face=Arial

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=756575207-24092005><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>So yes, Rik I do understand what has been going on and I
also understand that the suggestions by the subCom A and B chairs that
could impact the rest of our work. I am also VERY concerned about the hardship
that it may cause to people who may have come from far and wide with much
difficulty and who are the very voices that we civil society claim "we
represnt". </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=756575207-24092005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I am
very concerned that civil society ourselves, intentionally or
not, are NOT practicing multistakeholder and inclusivess processes
oursleves. Instead, we are being led by a small group of "insiders" who are all
mainly from developed countries and who seem to they are the only ones who
understand the issues and the process of the negotiations with the governments.

<DIV><SPAN class=756575207-24092005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Let's
do all work with a spirit of cooperation and unity, and have some compassion for
those who are too intimidated to speak up or for language reasons and who may
not have the same agenda as the vocal ones. We all hold a responsibility not
just to the Internet generation of today, but of the generations to come!!! This
may be our last chance for a while before we get another opportunity to interact
with governments on this ICT issues on a multilateral basis. Smaller voices with
equally legitimate issues, have the opportunity now to interact and voice up to
a larger audience, so please do consider their rights too before we make any
radical decision. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=756575207-24092005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Yes,
indeed DO protest this hypocracy but don;t take drastic actions before
understanding its long term impact or realising that may not be unanimous or
which could unintentionally end up being "uninclusive" and "multistakeholder"
ourselves. This new process of working through SubCom A and B, has led to SubCom
A and B chairs viewing thier views, which are not necessarily reflected of their
own caucus group let alone other caucuses. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=756575207-24092005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=756575207-24092005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I do
think that if Jeanette has strong views on this, she should step down as
coordinator and have someone not emotive about the issue to coordinate views of
others before ANY decisions or recommendations of the caucus are
made.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=756575207-24092005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=756575207-24092005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I also
think that rather we should also consider the wise words of Tracy who
had warned us from the very beginning on Sunday and Monday, that this would
happen as it did in Geneva Summit prepcoms, and start drafting out our own
inputs which could become a Civil Society Declaration, if we feel this will get
our views out there at the least.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=756575207-24092005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=756575207-24092005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I also
think we could ask governments to endorse the principles of multistakeholder and
transparency etc rather than simply pushing them to do it RIGHT NOW. Remember,
this is the WGIG and now a Chair's paper and it has not yet
reached a concensus to become a concensus doc YET. We should
recognising finding a solution to ensure "multistakeholder" and "inclusiveness"
model cannot all be done within next week (the UN and many other agencies
have been trying without much success or acceptance from CS). Should we be
asking them to set up another WGIG type smaller group which we should be a
part of again, with a clear mandate and deadline to create a "new form of
cooperation" as the Chair put it. We all know this will not happen overnight but
at least we know there are champions of this now. Ask also that this group with
clear mandate and deadline, report back to some body of authority to make this
happen. Let's discuss and explore to see how best to make these things happen.
Governments feel that WGIG did not exactly have answers that gov could adopt and
say this is better than the present. I spoke to one of the delegates who said we
should either have very clear ideas on a solution that is better than status quo
or we call for a mandate and deadline to work out a system to ensure
"multistakeholder" and "inclusiveness" finally becomes a reality within the WSIS
and UN system.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=756575207-24092005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Rik- I
have truly appreciated your, Tracy and Renate's efforts to keep CS as informed
as possible, but these new structure is causing new problems and we need to do
consider things with a longer term perspective. I would like to suggest TRacy as
chair on Monday clarify some of this to everyone, and see how we can fix what
seems to be broke now in a manner than bring more lasting results for all, not
just the few insiders. To put it in the words of another delegate Concita- we
are really being quite "elitist" in our approach within civil society and we
need to change this.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Challenging Sub-committee A drafting groups going into closed
sessions<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Hi Laina,</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2></FONT><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>As you are new to the
process, I will try and clarify.
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2></FONT><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>Our work in both sub-committees of the governmental negotiations now risks
to be severely diminished by governments moving into closed drafting sessions,
from which we are excluded. Across the board, caucuses and activists I have
talked to engaged in the process have expressed shock at this severe degradation
in our rights to participate in the process, a practice that was established in
Phase I.</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>Now that governments are at the "hard stuff" in the negotiations on
internet governance, many of us feel this is not the time to kick civil society
out of the room. Indeed, they perhaps need us most now more than ever to break
deadlocks and propose solutions.</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>The governments have chosen to upset all of our caucuses methods of work by
their decision. So the IG caucus has chosen, I believe rightly, to focus on
challenging this procedural decision which affects all of our work across the
board.</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>As Tracy Naughton, current chair of Content and Themes, explained, next
week earliest we need to decide in Content and Themes whether we need to
continue to input texts and speeches to a process that is becoming increasingly
closed to us. We may or may not decided to do so. But right now we need to focus
on keeping open the doors that are being slammed in our faces.</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>This of course does not precluded caucuses from continuing their own lobby
and advocacy, which they are of course free always to do. But when all of our
rights of participation are at risk, we must drop everything and try and get
this decision reversed.</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>More on the request for speakers question later...</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>

you kindly suggest how we can submit names from our caucuses directly. Would
CSB or the working methods group do this? A little clarification on how
working methods will receive the names and how speakers will be suggested
would definitely help add a new level of openess that seems to be closed now
given that both SubComm are so focused only on negotiating clear text that
they feel are relevant rather than on how other caucus feel may be relevant.
