Thanks for working on this.<BR>
<BR>
An e-mail list of government delegations was prepared for Ms. Ebadi's nomination.<BR>
<BR>
We should consider using it for distributing the final version (along with the other plans).<BR>

Subject: [WSIS CS-Plenary] WSIS Civil Society Statement - revision 1 (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 www.worldsummit2005.org, at<BR>
www.ngocongo.org and (hopefully) at www.wsis.org, 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>
Ralf<BR>
