<HTML><BODY style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; "><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV>Delphine and others seem to have expectations about the possibility of the CSB to co-ordinate and raise funding for the participation of CS at the upcoming internet governance forum related events. The truth is that there is no - current - funding to help. <DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>So pleas for help, well, break my heart. There is nothing the CSB can do - or any other CS structure. So what to do? What can be done? Well, the </DIV><DIV>Civil Society Statement on the World Summit on the Information Society (18 December 2005) does mention in Element 1 that structures need to evolve..</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Thus a recommendation - With the Geneva & Tunis phase of the WSIS process having come to a completion I think the role and membership of the CSB needs to be revisited. Personally, I do not see why Tunisian agents need to numerically dominate the CSB any more. Their summit is done - and as such their "spots" should be given up to those who care more about governance .....</DIV><DIV><DIV><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></P><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>regards</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Robert</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Civil Society Statement on the World Summit on the Information Society (18 December 2005) </DIV><DIV>[....]</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>IV.
