<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Thank you Elizabeth for the offer.
I always beleive that it is easier to criticise than to create. That means, we
can all put in our feedback <STRONG>once we do have a draft</STRONG> then move
on from there. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>One key issue we should include and
may need world examples is "Applications and Content" - if people cannot
understand the information then there is no point. Also, universal access is
very important, so are financial mechanisms such as finaicing telecenters
through partnership between government, private sector and civil society to
ensure sustainability.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>In my self study I find that one of

face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>> I would be happy to draft a
paragraph. It may be helpful to include those<BR>> areas that were
mentioned in the CS Declaration and would likely be<BR>> applicable to
telecenters whether for dissemination of information or<BR>> training as
well. I suggested all in order to be inclusive. Perhaps there<BR>>
are one or two areas that may not be feasible. Most of the areas
such as<BR>> gender issues, health, human rights may be able to be backed
up by real<BR>> world examples. A few may be considered for possible
future applications.<BR>> <BR>> I think it would be an interesting
project for this list, if I post the<BR>> various content areas in the CS
WSIS Declaration and then collect<BR>> information from those telecenters
in order to list them in the various<BR>> categories in which work is being
done or could possibly be applied. It may<BR>> give ideas for cross
fertilization and building a stronger more cohesive<BR>> network of global
telecenters. I will post the list of areas later tonight<BR>> and we
can see which telecenters are doing what. It may also be helpful
in<BR>> crafting a WG statement.<BR>> <BR>> Elizabeth<BR>>

<BR>> I think this would be a productive step; by all means, Elizabeth,
please<BR>> feel free to take a crack at drafting this paragraph.<BR>>
<BR>> I think it's important for us to show that telecentres go
beyond<BR>> offering ICT infrastructure -- that they can be a place of
learning,<BR>> civic engagement, public health information (like the NEPAD
e-school<BR>> model), etc. I wonder, though, if all of the content and
themes areas<BR>> currently within the WSIS CS framework can be tied to
telecentre<BR>> activities. I'm sure a lot of them can; but all of them? Is
it<BR>> necessary, for the sake of political expediency, to get all of
them<BR>> included, or would this seem like we're simply creating a laundry
list,<BR>> or trying to force the current CS content and themes framework
into a<BR>> telecentres statement? (Also, if and when the CS bureau is
restructured,<BR>> wouldn't this impact the list of content and themes
areas?)<BR>> <BR>> I don't have a strong feeling either way on this, but
it seems we'd want<BR>> to be able to back up our vision with real-world
examples of how<BR>> telecentres can play a role in certain theme areas
rather than create a<BR>> universal field theory with telecentres tying all
the various strings<BR>> together...<BR>> <BR>> ac<BR>> <BR>>
