<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span lang=EN-US
style='font-size:12.0pt'>Dear all,<br>
<br>
Just to let you know that this point regarding the paragraph in the SG's report
was also of concern for governments, including <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region
w:st="on">France</st1:country-region></st1:place>. <br>
<br>
Accordingly, the EU statement in the Ecosoc Session regarding the CSTD contains
the following paragraph : <br>
<br>
</span></font><span lang=EN-GB>"The EU also welcomes the joint CSTD-GAID
(Global Alliance for ICT and Development) panel discussion of last May 22nd. We
encourage GAID to continue providing its valuable input, <u>amongst other
stakeholders</u>, to the WSIS follow-up in the CSTD."<br>
</span><span lang=EN-US><br>
In UN-speak, this clearly is intended to underscore that the GAID is <u>not </u>the
sole channel for multi-stakeholder participation in the work of the CSTD
regarding WSIS follow-up. <br>
<br>
If this statement has already been made by the EU presidency, I encourage a
reference to it in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Congo</st1:country-region></st1:place>'s
intervention. The french delegation is a good contact if needed. <br>
<br>
Best<br>
<br>
