Hi All
Have been following the discussions and i agree in principle...
The strategic objective is to prune down the C&T groups to those that are
active and strategic (in relation to the objective in WSIs phase 2)...
HOwever there are some caucuses which are not directly "relevant" to phase
2 but i would hate being "decommissioned" as good content may come out of
them even beyond WSIS (e.g., something like the ICT & Environment/Sus Dev
Group may develop good frameworks and proposals which may be important for
civil society advocacy in the coming years)
Question:
What now are the status of the REgional FAmilies/caucuses? (my impression
is that most if not all are either only semi active, or have splits, or
are not that representative)
I assume regional caucuses like ours are not Content and Themes groups per
se, but our members participate in the various C&T caucuses.
HOw do we fit into the emerging PrepCom structures now...only in teh CSB?

>>Hello everyone,

>>I meant some time ago to post a proposal from

>>1. Causes or Working groups are constituted by

>>preferably more, at PrepComs 4) a Discussion
>>List and open Archive.
>>
>>2. Each proposes a representative (or two?)
>>into a single Content & Thematic Working Group.
>>This would be a reconstituted Content & Themes
>>Group with meetings open to all CS as observers.
>>[Incidentally, for those involved at the very
>>early stages, this was a proposal at PrepCom 1
>>in WSIS I, but then got lost...] This could be
>>done online in the next week.
>>
>>3. This C&W Group appoints its own coordinator,
>>a member or not, and meets every day (late

>>Plenary speakers and their order etc., from
>>Caucus/WG nominations that pass a 3 point test:
>>(written statement at least drafted, content

>>The C&T Group would also ensure gender and
