Wed Oct 18 09:26:11 BST 2006

In French bellow
hi,
I am very happy to read all these reactions to our
initiative during the UNESCO Meeting in Paris.
1... We all know the relevant role played by the
colleagues who lead the process giving to the CS a
credible status. It was so aisy and we thank them.
2... We also had the chance to participate to the
Paris Meeting and with the help of UNESCO, many
important friends who lead the Geneva and Tunis WSIS
Process that it was an important opportunity to
enhance the Civile Society stautus as lon as every
pody seems to accept the role of this CS in the
Multipartenariat.
3... Thanks to Francis Muguet we get premessis in
Paris to meet every evening as Civile Society to show
to our portners that we are here and we have things to
say and to propose.
4... After discussion yesterday we are proposing, in
transparancy, to reactivate the Civile Society Bureau
as it was functionning during the Geneva and the Tunis
phase from now to May 2007 to be present in all
comming events and to prepare something for May 2007
to continue or to set up a new mechanism for the
future.
5... It was and it remain a proposal made in
transparency to all CSB members and Regional and
Thematic Caucus leaders.
In Conclusion, there is no Coup d'Etat against the
current CSB and not any will to set immediately an
alternate mechanism.
We also are democrats and our only aim is to promote
and to reinforce the Civile Society Representativity.
We are not payed  for that and we are not
instrumentaled by any partener.
I would like that those who agree with this approach
and those who desaggree inform the Civile Society in
our Discussion lists as by the past.
many thanks
Djilali 
Chers amis,
Ce-ci n'est pas une traduction intégrale du texte
ci-dessus mais un résumé.
Quelques membres de la Société civile ont l'occasion
cette semaine de participer à une rencontre sur le
suivi du SMSI organisée à Paris par l'UNESCO.
Dans nos rencontres que nous avons décidé de tenir en
fin de travaux chaque jour nous avons été amené à
relevé que la société civile devenait plus "acceptabe"
par nos partenaires pris au jeu subtil du
multipartenariat même si tout le monde n'est pas dupe
sur le poids extrêmement faible de cette CS.
Nous avons décidé de proposer dans la transparence un
appel pour la relance du Bureau de la société civile
tel qu'ilfonctionnait durant les phases de genève et
de Tunis. Personne ne peut nous faire de procès de
coup d'état ou de main mise sur la SC puisque nous en
faisant partie sans être leader. On demande seulement
à nos leaders de reprendre et d'accélrer leur travail
d'ici Mai 2007 (grand rendez vous à Genève) pour
consolider la crédibilité de la SC et pour préparer
une réflexion sur la suite aprés mai 2007.
Certains pensent que c'est un crime de lèse majesté
que d'avoir oser prendre telle initiative pas de
décision mais de simple proposition !
A chacun de prendre ses responsabilité et de se
déterminer. La société civile n'est la propriété de
personne. Nous sommes toutes et tous adultes,
bénévoles et volontaires et seule notre conscience de
plaider pour la bonne cause et d'être au service de
toutes et de tous nous guide. Et surtout ne râtons pas
le rendez vous de mai 2007
Amitiés
Djilali
