BTW, it was discussed previously that CS would not draft its own Declaration
as long as negotiations were taking place in good faith. However if this is
not the case, then in addition to the behind the scenes and public
indignation, CS should also draft a WSIS II Declaration. This would be a
very helpful product for media news releases. Also forging alliances with
friendly private sector organizations to help with media saturation and
behind the scenes pressure may also be helpful.

Time to ratchet up the indignation at the state of affairs combined with as
much media outreach and press releases, as is possible, reporting what is
happening.
Transparency an oxymoron at the World Summit on the Information Society.
Disingenuous lip service paid to transparency by various governments
(specify), etc, etc, (Oxymoron description more appropriate for academic
publications.) I would substitute the word "hijacked" for news releases.
Transparency hijacked at WSIS.

We will suspend the prepcom today. We will re-convene at a later
stage. There will be an open-ended negotiation group chaired by the
president of the prepcom with a mandate to negotiate the political
chapeau, chapter 1, 2, and 4. The group would meet in two sessions,
one session on outstanding issue in political chapeau and financial
mechanisms. Other session to address issues in chapter 1 and 4
(implementation and follow-up). The sessions will take place in
October for 2-3 days. The aim is to conclude negotiations on all
issues.

<pre wrap=""><!---->Karklins later confirmed that this negotiation group will be closed to
observers. We should have grabbed our bags and left the room in that
second, I thought afterwards. In the first phase of WSIS, they at least
re-convened as PrepCom, and we could still give our input.

<pre wrap=""><!---->That means they treat Internet Governance different than the normal summit
process. We will probably be able to particpate there, and Khan actually
thanked civil society and the private sector for their great contributions.
So:
1. They have not agreed on Internet Governance
2. They have nit agreed on follow up
3. They are excluding us worse than ever
What should be our reaction?
