Hiroshi Kawamura<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><BR><BR></FONT></P></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
