[Privsec] Endorse?: Proposed statement to GFC on paras 10, 11 and 29

[karen banks]

hi

i know this isn't specifically related to priv-sec - but i think important 
symbolically for all the caucuses and working groups to start coming 
together on general points..

can we sign? (APC has)

rikke.. HR caucus? or is the multi-stakeholder approach too problematic?

statement would read:

---
1. The undersigned organisations and individuals from the Civil Society 
strongly oppose the move to make the proposed changes in paras 10, 11 and 
29 of the operational part of the Tunis document, as per the new input 
document circulated by the chair of the GFC. These changes do not represent 
the contributions of the various stakeholders to the existing text, and their
acceptance will defeat the stated purpose of the Tunis summit, described as 
the 'summit of solutions', to make some real headway in implementing the 
promises of the Geneva summit.

2. We suggest that follow-up mechanisms are based on multi-stakeholder 
teams around action lines with a well-defined overall
co-ordination body, as contained in existing paras 10, 11 and 29. Further, 
that they be improved and elaborated through a multi-stakeholder 
consultative process to ensure that an adequate post-WSIS structure is in 
place, not only for implementing the outcomes of WSIS, but also to take up 
Information Society issues as they emerge.
