<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello Richard and Elizabeth and all:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks for "budgeting" (!) time and energies for
this. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Relatedly, I have prepared a poster showing the
high respect paid to "Respect" in the Civil Society Statement. This echoes
the happy prominence of RESPECT direct-mentions-and-thematic-references in the
major WSIS documents which I am writing about. About which I am
writing...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think this pervasively agreed on and U.N.
compatible <EM>WSIS Respect4Respect</EM> couldwouldshould be a great thing
to mention in press releases. And the continuity with some of the major
statements.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is a suggestion from the *Respectful
Interfaces* perspective. I much appreciate your ongoing dialogue on these
matters and approaches.</FONT></DIV>

agree with Elizabeth about the timing, but of course here at UN Headquarters
everyone is involved in the budget negotiations, that is everyone who has
nothing to do with the budget negotiations. Not a joking matter, sorry if it
sounds a little ludicrous.<BR><BR>I think that before any press release goes out
on a FINAL to governments that at least it be available for viewing by the
entire list.<BR><BR>I recall that when I was the Rapporteur of the Lanzarote
World Conference on Sustainable Tourism, that in the final text version of the
declaration that was only able to be distributed in English at the final
session, that I worked with the French and Spanish interpretation team, since
quite often terms in one language are not EXACTLY what is understood in another.
<BR><BR>If there are simultaneous English, French and Spanish, great, but if
only an English goes out to all governments, I am sure that Elizabeth would not
object to letting all of us check the release out, at least for a 24-hour
period.<BR><BR>My understanding is that Chanukah is on the 26th, and Boxing Day
et al. is also the 26th.<BR><BR>So are we talking about a finished media release
BY the 26th or AFTER the 26th, and for release before December 30 (a Friday,
very little work may be done in UN Missions or country capitols on the
30th?<BR><BR>Best, Richard Jordan<BR><BR>----- Original Message -----<BR>From:

revision 1 (final final<BR>> final version)Hi Bill,<BR>> <BR>>
Excellent suggestion. In addition, if someone drafts a press release,
I<BR>> would be happy to help review it if help is needed in between
Christmas<BR>> activities/holiday. Unless someone was on top of it and
went out today,<BR>> probably best to release it after Christmas and Chanukah
holiday not on the<BR>> day since it is less than 2 days away.<BR>>

(final final final version)<BR>> <BR>> Dear all,<BR>>
<BR>> a the Disability Caucus has submitted a chapter on
Universal Design and<BR>> Assistive Technologies for our
statement, I was happy to include it in a<BR>> revised
version. (I had to copy-edit it a bit, but this happened to
every<BR>> submission.)<BR>> <BR>>
The attached version is now the really final text of the statement
that<BR>> will be submitted to the WSIS Executive
Secretariat.<BR>> <BR>> As the disability caucus now has
its own chapter, I have included the<BR>> phrase "physical
and mental health" in the health information chapter<BR>>
again. I think this is fair, as every perspective is now included.
(And<BR>> please don't start the whole health discussion
again on all lists).<BR>> <BR>> I assume our friends
from CONGO will update the translations accordingly.<BR>>
<BR>> All documents will be available at </FONT><A
href="http://www.worldsummit2005.org"><FONT face=Arial
size=2>www.worldsummit2005.org</FONT></A><FONT face=Arial size=2>,
at<BR>> </FONT><A href="http://www.ngocongo.org"><FONT
face=Arial size=2>www.ngocongo.org</FONT></A><FONT face=Arial size=2> and
(hopefully) at </FONT><A href="http://www.wsis.org"><FONT face=Arial
size=2>www.wsis.org</FONT></A><FONT face=Arial size=2>, in different formats
and<BR>> in English, French, and Spanish. Other
translations are welcome - Arabic,<BR>> anyone?<BR>>
<BR>> I wish you all happy holidays and a good start into
2006.<BR>> <BR>>
