non-governmental actors is currently based on temporary decisions that may or
may not be renewed after their expiration date. This precarious situation shows
the fragility of multistakeholder<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>participation in CSTD. Secondly, there is quite a discrepancy on the
requirements for the participation of each stakeholder group, and the barriers
for the participation of civil society are comparatively higher. While the
private sector and the technical and academic communities need only to express
their interest to participate, civil society needs to have accreditation with
ECOSOC, or must have participated in WSIS in 2003 or 2005.</span></p></span></strong></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;text-align:justify;

must be clarified, however, that the low entry barriers have not resulted in a
significant increase in the participation of the private sector and of
technical and academic community in CSTD. On the contrary, the renewal and
variation of the representatives is reduced, showing a concentration of
political power among few players. It is also interesting to notice the lack of
mobilization from civil society against this unequal status quo. While civil
society has correctly and vehemently defended the preservation of
multistakeholder participation in other political spaces, like the 2011 G8 meeting
about the Internet it has remained silent on the face of this closer and more
flagrant inequality among stakeholder groups in CSTD.</span></p></span></strong></span><p></p>

in ECOSOC itself is still restricted to ECOSOC NGOs. But these 4 week long
substantive sessions in July, alternating between NY and Geneva, are seen by
many NGOs/CSOs just as rubberstamping exercises, apart from the High level
segment at the beginning, and therefore not worth their attendance (I have a slightly
different opinion) , except for Geneva or NY based entities for sections of
their interest. Jean Louis, this may explain the low attendance of CSOs. But
the relative high attendance of Governments at least indicates interest in the issues.

Can we, CS representatives in the WSIS process, qualify such a "biased
attendance" as a good sign ? For which of our goals ? What I would like to
know is how many true CS delegates attended these meetings and which
organisatiions they represented. Additionnally it'd be interesting to know how
DCs were represented in these meetings : governement, regional orgs, CS and
private sector. <br>

Perhaps Philippe -or any other delegate on these meetings- could provide us
these data. Many thanks in advance.<br>
