<font size=3>Telecentres list colleagues:<br><br>
Given recent comments by Don, Florence, Arun and others before,
plus<br>
the fact there is such a wealth of experience concerning the real work
of<br>
Telecentres on this list, I suggest one of the main things that is
lacking <br>
within WSIS is the voice of the grassroots with most of those
participating <br>
speaking for other people's experiences rather than from their own.
<br><br>
Therefore, may I suggest that we adopt as a rule that our representation
<br>
in WSIS II consist of those with direct and on-going experience of the
real <br>
activity of Telecentres in a Development context (which could include
both <br>
in LDC's and in Development contexts within Developed
Countries.<br><br>
We seem to have a wealth of such talent on this list and by choosing
this<br>
route we can defuse some of the issues linked to
"representation".<br><br>
