Dear Serena,
Last week, we, Korean civil society preparatory group for WSIS, had a joint
meeting with government related people so that we could exchange our
perspectives and find out some common grounds in WSIS issues. It was a good
start although as expected, governmental persons seem to be losing real
vision for future information society.
Anyhow, as you requested it, I am also waiting some consensus record that
had been reached in Manila so that I could also contribute for making
another input of Asian civil society group. Then, have you got any
information from Al, Sacha or somebody else?
Regards,
Chun Eung Hwi
