<div>Dear Francis,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Very interesting and timely reading; thank you so much for your energies sending us all this report. It is amazing and much appreciated that you can keep us informed <em>in real time,</em> along with every matter and event, in multiple geographies, that you are covering; a really full slate..
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>When it comes to moving Information Technologies (and concepts) out to people, or peoples, the significance of the Civil Society input to every post-WSIS phase will surely emerge. Even then it may be a struggle to have multi-stakeholder
<em>voices</em> heard, here as elsewhere, it is some continuing comfort and encouragement to know that you and Renata and other colleagues are persistent, and clearly effective and for so many.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>And as brought out in the Global Disability fora both in Geneva and Tunis, I feel sure you are bearing in mind that access and <em>inter-connectivity</em> is very important to persons with disabilities, along with everyone else. Thinking of persons in society with different sorts of communications needs and situations, again - along with everyone else - is always a big help and inherently promotes mutual uinderstanding as well as observable 'capacity building.'.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>So thank you for representing, among other factors, a large population of persons who actually will be using IT (we hope!) and must have the needs, wants, and expectations (as well as practicalities) expressed all along. Reading your posts which are like a "you are there journal," we all who are reading really benefit from this news and are grateful for the commitment the CS people have, raising confidence and safeguarding goals-and-high-hopes even though the work is daunting and probably will never be over.
</div>

<div>Best wishes, at your service, and *Respectfully Interfacing*, Linda.</div>
