May, 2008 aimed to bring together partners to help implement a number of ICT

reaching GAID’s objectives, and discussed the ways in which they could contribute
to the successful implementation of the GAID Business Plan’. This is what

role in some of the recorded GAID ‘initiatives’. Craig pointed out,
so much goes on ‘out there’ anyway that GAID with its limited
capacities in human and financial resources can only concentrate on basics. I
heard a little bit: Let the markets do… and pointed to GAIDs role to
focusing on those most in need.. But we all consented in the end to concentrate
on four basic areas, in which added value with better coordination would be
brought forward. We need also more space for policy discussion and open
consultations.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

raised: why did we have this external evaluation instead of a peer review?

discussion and decisions on the new initiatives are to be taken on-line and at
a later date. The atmosphere in the Steering Committee was for the first time

online discussions for a GAID Open Consultation and my suggestion to Sarbuland

decided to hold the open consultation following <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City
w:st="on">Kuala Lumpur</st1:City></st1:place> on 27 May, parallel to some of
the CSTD meetings. Unfortunately, it coincided with a WSIS-follow-up discussion
at the CSTD and was held for the purpose of remote participation, offered by
the ITU, at the ITU premises when all other discussions took place in the
Palais des Nations, thus limiting participation. Nevertheless, some 20-25
stakeholders from all categories attended the meeting. One of the criticisms
therefore related to overlap of meetings, (this also with regard to the KL
