>> Dear all,
>> Today's plenary was a disaster. Not only because of the lack of a suitable
>> room (I hope that we could alocate one for Friday), but also because of the
>> lack of understanding what the Civil Society has achieved - and yes, with
>> the help of the CS Secretariate and through the facilitation of the CS
>> Bureau.
>> 
>> I don't accept that only because of the failure of today, at WSIS - a
>> failure that have been something normal in the aspect of the whole WSIS
>> process!, we must signoff the good work the CSS and the CSB did.
>> 
>> If it wasn't for the government of Switzerland, and to the CSS, and Alain's
>> work, we would have been today outside of the WSIS, and clashing with riot
>> police! If it wasn't for Sally, Myriam, Bill, Karen and tens of other
>> people, we wouldn't have had documents, and statements, and visability.
>> After all, if it wasn't for all of us, the CS would have been represented
>> by the .... governments!
>> 
>> I strongly urge all of us to think and on the next plenary on Friday come
>> with a serious declaration, something like this (feel free to correct, if
>> you want):
>> 
>> 
>> Whereas
>> Organizing the work of the civil society within the WSIS;
>> 
>> And Whereas
>> The Civil Society (CS) Plenary  believes the best way to organize the
>> work of all CS groups and families within the WSIS was through the
>> help of the CS Secretariate and the CS Bureau;
>> 
>> And Whereas
>> There had never before been such a cooperation between the governments
>> and the civil society [in the history of the UN];
>> 
>> And Whereas
>> The CS had to become workable group of peope, representing every region
>> in the world and every different interest;
>> 
>> And Whereas
>> Any errors in the organization of the work of the CS forum at WSIS would
>> have resulted in spoling the good intention and bringing us back to the
>> previous
>> way of communications with the government - or rather with its riot police;
>> 
>> And Whereas
>> The result of the work of the CS is well seen and clear to all participants
>> to contribute;
>> 
>> And Whereas
>> The CS work is acknowledged as a substential part of the WSIS;
>> 
>> And Whereas
>> The CS Secretariat did a great job in providing support for the work of the
>> CS;
>> 
>> And Whereas
>> The government of Switzerland has supported the work of the CS Secretariat
>> and the CS Bureau;
>> 
>> And Whereas
>> It is a chance we must not miss until Tunis 2005;
>> 
>> 
>> Now, Therefore,
>> 
>> The Civil Society Plenary recognizes the great work of the CS Secretariat,
>> the CS Bureau,
>> each of the many driving forces of the different caucuses, [the Contents
>> and Themes WG],
>> as well as the significant contribution of the Swiss government and the
>> Canton of Geneve,
>> must be congratulated and thanked and last, but not least, we kindly ask
>> the government
>> of Switzerland to continue their support of the work of the CS Secretariat,
>> the CS Bureau
>> and the CS Plenary throught WSIS 2005 in Tunis.
