[WSIS CS-Plenary] Challenging Sub-committee A drafting groups going into closed sessions

[Jacqueline Morris]

Hi
I was at the meeting under discussion, and it didn't seem to me at all
that Jeanette presented her opinion as the IG caucus' opinion.
She said - "this is what happened."  And also  -"I would like to say
in my experience", and "this is my opinion'" and  "I think".
To me that doesn't in ANY way imply - "this is the IGC position"
So unless I missed something that she said (which I doubt) - to me the
main premise of this objection is moot.

Yes, she has strong views and she is passionate - if she wasn't, I
doubt she'd be putting in the long and hard hours that are necessary
to get things coordinated for so long.

Jeanette has always been very inclusive and helpful, IMO. When i first
showed up, fresh  from the developing world, first time in Geneva, the
IG caucus coordinators were very good at explaining the way around,
etc. I have never felt the insider/outsider divide even when I was
very new, and I don't see that much has changed re the way of
operating.

My $0.02

Jacqueline
