<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>18:00 we went to the drafting meeting on Para 60+61
chaired by Egypt. Several CS and PS members were present, not questioned by
anyone. It was when someone from APC took the floor and spoke in favour of Open
Source Software that the chair realized </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>NGO
members were in the room... The chair immediately asked us to give our
statements (if we had any) and the leave the room.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A delegate from New Zealand came after us, we
should wait as we wanted to make an intervention to get us back in (Australia
also spoke in favour of us, China was not present). A few minutes later he came
back apologizing that the chair was not willing to change his mind.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just wanted to report that. Trying to find out how
the meeting of El Salvador at 19:00 will evolve...</FONT></DIV>
