I fully agree, furthermore for full clarity, it must be underlined that
participants
can speak as individuals being coordinator or member of such and such CS
grouping,
but not in the name of such groupings, unless a debate
has been carried out before, which was not possible.
Of course, participants can read a statement that could express the
opinion that is obviously shared by the whole civil society about
this non-inclusive process.
Since it is a procedural issue, the best person to draft and
to read a strong message to the ITU board, is in my opinion, Renate,
who was elected, during the last PrepCom2,
to be the liaison officer of the CSB with the WSIS secretariat, the
govermental bureau and the ITU.
Concerning Karen question,
my educated guess about the list is now :
Renate Bloem NGO Family, CSB liaison officer
Burak Emir Youth Caucus.
