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>Scott Robinson<BR>Mexico DF<BR>Vinculart
