[WSIS CS-Plenary] Plenary: Reporting and discussion

[Laina Raveendran Greene]

Karen,

I think drafting should remain in CS SubCom A (IG Caucus) and SubCom B lists
and the planned meetings (IG meets 2.30 -4.30pm every day) and SubCom B
meets 10-11.30am and 7-8pm everyday. We should stick to the procedures we
agreed to in Content and Themes Plenary.

This way, plenary list will not be flooded unless it is a procedural issue
as is currently being discussed.

Let's not please start setting up new caucuses or list and fragment the
process further. People are already confused as it is and feel sidelined by
a group of "insiders" (intentional or not).

Laina

dear all,

I've had quite a few people unsubscribe from the plenary list, who are not
in geneva - not because they are not interested in following the process,
but because the volume of the list is simply too high.

This always happens during prepcom as we use the list intensively for
discussions, planning, drafting, reporting  - some of which is very
important to those of us present, but which has a very short 'shelf-life' 
and is not very useful to those following remotely.

I was wondering if it would be useful to create a new list which would
simply be for reports, drafts of statements and final statements.

For example, anyone who is monitoring sub-committee, reports from the CS
bureau meetings, reports from meetings with government delegatations etc.

I think people participating remotely would miss the 'sense' or 'feel' of
the process, but if this was important, they would need to stay subscribed
to the plenary.

I would be happy to put some time into this, for example, by liaising with
monitors of sub-committee, our working group focal points etc, and posting
reports to this new list with clear subject lines - and - to post copies of
reports that have been written to date.

the list could be called plenary-reports (or something similar)
