Its normal<BR>> procedure at UN Summits to hold side events, outside<BR>> the official summit space and open to the general<BR>> public, incl. non accredited entities. CSIS was such<BR>> an event and was publicly announced and recognised<BR>> by the WSIS secretariat and govn. delegations<BR>> several weeks before the summit.

Citoyen<BR>> qui est un évenement parallele a été empeché de se<BR>> tenir. En consultant par la suite la liste des<BR>> évenements parrallèles "side events" sur le site du<BR>> sommet), cela ne semble pas être le cas. <BR>> <BR>> En plus, il a été convenu dans la reunion de la<BR>> plenière de la societe civile du Vendredi 18<BR>> Novembre 2005 que le contenu de cette declaration<BR>> doit faire l'objet du consensus général au sein de<BR>> la societe civile, et la question du Sommet Citoyen<BR>> ne rentre pas dans le <BR>> consensus. <BR>> Par conséquent, la société civile africaine par<BR>> ma voix, se désolidarise de ce point qui ne<BR>> correspond pas à sa position et demande son<BR>> annulation.<BR>> <BR>> Delphine NANA MEKOUNTE<BR>> Présidente ACSIS ( African Civil Society for the<BR>> Information Society)<BR>> Coordinatrice Générale CEFEPROD<BR>> Statut Consultatif Spécial ECOSOC<BR>> Tél (237) 231 13 17/
