<br>><br>> Greetings<br>><br>> I admire your courage. I agree with you the election and appointee<br>> were hand picked.<br>><br>I guess you have misinformed.<br>The CSB has not been hand picked by govermements or international
<br>organizations as<br>it was the case wtih<br>the Task Force on Financing Mechanims, the WGIG,<br>the MAG of the Internet Forum, or the advisory board of the Global Alliance,<br><br>From where did you get all this disinformation ?
<br><br>> These decision were made by some one else.<br>><br>this is not how things did occur. It was an ad hoc<br>self organization process.<br><br>> They were not fair .That is the reason why things don't work.
<br>><br>Things are not working as bad as you think, but they could be better.<br>I was expecting the worse after the ECOSOC session last July in<br>Geneva, but today I was pleasantly surprised/<br>At UNESCO, things are evolving into the right direction.
<br>CS representatives have the possibilty to intervene, and their suggestion<br>are noted, in the same way as governments and private sector.<br>The representative from Egypt tried to bring some procedural issues<br>to slow down the multistakeholder approach, but he was outnumbered
<br>and finally gave up.<br>All stakeholders present in the room were called to approve<br>the selection of UNESCO as the lead agency for the C3 action line.<br>Plathe mentionnend that the recognition of one NGO : APC as
<br>a co-facilator of the C2 action line was an exemple of the multi-stakeholder<br>approach.<br><br>I am really too tired to make a report tonight.<br><br>> We stay quiet .<br>><br>speak for yourself...<br><br>> The pattern is same every where the foot ball is in the two side of
<br>> the same . It is a good drama.<br>><br>We are not watching TV, here at UNESCO, believe me !!!<br><br>> There is no activity people will make money.<br>><br>I do not understand what you meant ?<br><br>My best advice if you do not want to stay quiet is to start
<br>to form a CSB at your own national level or regional level,<br>to defend the procedural rights of your own civil society,<br>both at an international level and national level.<br>Your national CSB being as an antenna ( working both
<br>ways ) of the international CSB in Geneva.<br>Think a little about it, but<br>in countries where CS is facing difficulties,<br>national CSBs would be quite helpfull.<br><br>In my view, formation of national and regional CSBs are necessary steps
<br>in the review of the international CSB,<br>as a natural evolution because<br>we are reaching the most exciting phase of the WSIS : implementation.<br>The formation of national and regional CSB would increase<br>1/ the efficiency of the implementation,
<br>2/ the inclusive participation of people that have not the<br>capablitity to travel to Geneva, Paris, New York,<br>Kuala lumpur, Beijing or Athens.<br><br>As we say in French:<br>La critique est facile, l'art is difficile
<br>Criticism is easy, but art is difficult.<br><br>Do we really want to bridge the digital divide ?<br><br>Best regards<br><br>Francis<br><br>> Dr Malik Khan<br>><br>> On 10/16/06, *Robert Guerra* <<a href="mailto:rguerra@lists.privaterra.org">

to access automatic<br>> translation of this message!<br>> _______________________________________<br>><br>> Dear colleagues:<br>><br>> Several months ago I asked a simple question, one that for some
<br>> reason<br>> has generated little discussion and comment - that being the future of<br>> the Civil Society Bureau (CSB) as a structure and those elected (or<br>> appointed) to serve on the body.
<br>><br>><br>> Much like the governance caucus has, I think the CSB must clearly<br>> pronounce itself on how it sees its role, and how its representatives<br>> are selected .<br>><br>> Personally I believe the CSB has, in all extents and purposes
<br>> served its<br>> role - and is not longer providing any type of useful role.<br>> Perhaps I am<br>> wrong..but i just can't agree with a structure that sees its<br>> represented<br>
> at entrenched in their positions. If the body is to represent in some<br>> way CS, then it needs to periodically open itself for renewal and/or<br>> elections.<br>><br>> I thus call for the members of the CSB to start an open
<br>> nomination/election process. The call needs to be preceded with a<br>> clear<br>> statement on how the election will be run - specifically how<br>> transparent<br>> it will be, and what specific "seats" are available.
<br>><br>> Three key issues that need to be resolved :<br>><br>> 1. What to do with the "host country liaison" seat ? Is there a<br>> need to<br>> have such a position when there is no summit host country to dialogue
<br>> with ?<br>><br>> 2. How many regional "seats" are to be allocated. Do we use the<br>> existing<br>> structure ? If not, then a consensus must be reached on the # of<br>> regions
<br>> to be allocated. Possible bodies to use an example - UN, FIFA, ICANN,<br>> Olympics, etc..<br>><br>> 3. How can the election be overseen and run in a fashion that is<br>> consistent with the core values of Civil Society @ WSIS ?
<br>><br>> An election for the CSB seats is NO small task, but nonetheless -<br>> something that is long overdue and much needed. How to proceed, well,<br>> something that needs to be discussed..<br>
