<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite=""><font size=4>What about one
belonging to a so called CSO that is also sponsored by business and very
close to gov and secret services?</blockquote>Bonsoir Dominique
:-)<br><br>
As I said there is no perfect solution but the institutional approach
brings better garanty, if not perfect.<br><br>
In my 25 years working in a CSO I can testify that quite often I had this
type of suspicion and I conducted investigations... which eventually does
not bring proofs but strong presumptions...<br><br>
Naivety is something CSOs cannot afford if they want to be efficient
players in multistakeholder games.<br><br>
During WSIS, who participated from civil society remember some
"Tunisian NGO's " which were covered secret agents of Ben Ali's
government spying our meetings. Real Tunisian NGO's warned us (and
sometimes affront them providing intense and dramatic moments) although
their representatives behave so obviously that you needed to be really,
but really, naive to swallow it ;-).<br>
