<HTML><BODY style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; ">Hello All<DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>I am fascinated that the need for CSB 'reform' persists. I have a different view that concurs with that submitted by Al Alegre. My view is that the role of the CSB concluded at the end of the WSIS negotiations and that the thread that links that process with on going discussions is the Internet Governance Caucus, though this may well limit the topics worthy of on-going efforts.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>I believe that the structures that were developed within WSIS, their method of formation, the terms under which they worked (equally the lack of terms though it should be remembered that the WGWM developed a CSB Charter) need to be documented for the sake of posterity, to advance multi-stakeholder processes and as a starting point for future civil society participants in global governance negotiations. Such a documentation could also incorporate reflections on the experience as proffered by those who wish to do so. The documentation would be a quantitative contribution where as the reflections from the willing and the connected would form a more textural analysis, or a qualitative component.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Since CONGO was the Secretariat for the CSB and WSIS Plenary it would seem the logical focal point for such a documentation and reflection. However, given the pace at which that body has to move with UN negotiations and the limitations of it's resources it may not be possible. Such a work would likely require a focal point to galvanise participation (as per the role of Ralph in the CS statement) and resources.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>I think it would be well worth doing but cannot quite see from where I sit how it can be achieved.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Warm regards to all,</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Tracey Naughton</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; "><P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"><BR></P><P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"><BR></P><P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">Tracey Naughton</FONT></P><P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">NYAKA</FONT></P><P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">Communication for Development Consultant</FONT></P><P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">201 Somerset Hall</FONT></P><P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">239 Oxford Road</FONT></P><P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">Illovo<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN><SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> <SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN></SPAN>2196</FONT></P><P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px">Johannesburg</P><P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">South Africa</FONT></P><P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"><BR></P><P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">landline & fax:<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"><SPAN class="Apple-converted-tab"> <SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN></SPAN></SPAN>+27 (0) 11 880 5030</FONT></P><P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">cell / mobile:<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"><SPAN class="Apple-converted-tab"> <SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN></SPAN></SPAN>+27 (0) 82 821 1771</FONT></P><P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px">skype: tracey_naughton</P><P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">email:<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"><SPAN class="Apple-converted-tab"> <SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN></SPAN></SPAN><A href="mailto:tracey@traceynaughton.com">tracey@traceynaughton.com</A></FONT></P><P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></P><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"></SPAN> </DIV><BR></BODY></HTML>
