<DIV><FONT size=2>Hello my friends,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I am sorry to say it, but I have the feeling that instead of
using these wonderful tools to interact obtain first hand information on
successful experiences and on mistakes that should not repeated to have more
impact with our work it looks to me like we are starting to build another small
bureaucracy, with</FONT><FONT size=2> nominations and campaign...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Do we really need this right now?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Do we really know enough each other's to be able to make any
serious choice?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Couldn't we postpone a bit all this for a later stage while we
slowly get organized?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear Colleagues,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I sense agreement on moving forward with (a)
election of a Chair to co-ordinate the work of the group and
(b) regional vice-Chairs. With this structure in place we would then have
a group to start work on defining a draft list of issues, which could be
brought back to the general body for inputs, and then we could move from
there.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My suggestion would be to agree on an interim
person who does not necessarily have to be one of those chosen to get the
process going and completed.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We could agree, for example to a period ending
October 15th.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>During this time those persons interested
in the Chair or who have nominations would email those nominations to the
group and the interim co-ordinator be responsible for collating those names
and on the 15th, we would share that list and ask for votes, with a cut off
pint of the end of October.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Once we have elected a Chair, who is
qualified by (a) Expertise and knowledge and (b) has access to the funds to
attend or support representation of the group at WSIS meetings or can
raise funding for the Chair, then we agree on that person and they take charge
of the process of chosing the Vice chairs, agreeing an agenda for work
etc.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would volunteer to co-ordinate this interm
process of election of a Chair.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Yes, no??? Alternatives?</FONT></DIV>
