<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>I'd just
remember that CSDPTT has sent three proposals concerning CS inclusion in the
ITU to the ITU Reforl WG. These are in french and were (always are?)
displayed on the ITU WSIS site. As far as ITU membership is
concerned, only the PLenipo has the mandate to amend/complete and take the
decision. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Thus, a
compromise solution could be the Plenipo agrees on the principle of CS
inclusion (e.g. voluntary CSOs as members of the TDB) and mandates the ITU
Council for taking the decision for the CS inclusion process itself in its
early meetings. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

paper</a> includes two main suggestions: creation of a High Level CS Advisory
Board (tobe consulted by the ITU SG and heads of sectors); and the
establishment of a consultative or observer status for CS entities to
participate in intergovernmental meetings of the ITU, first for the ITU-D
related meeting, to be potentially extended to the other sectors in the future
(such a status includes access to documentation and meeting rooms, speaking
rights and written contributions, and would be free). This proposal is quite

the experience of WSIS, but only proposes that the next ITU 2006

next ITU Plenipot (2010). A draft resolution is included in this proposal.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
