<div>Probably not Anne, although I suspect the Chair’s statement when finalised
will be at <a title="https://www.gccs2015.com/" href="https://www.gccs2015.com/" target="_blank">https://www.gccs2015.com/</a></div>
<div> </div>
<div>But this is a conference emanating from meetings of mostly foreign
ministries from various governments, which is including civil society and trying
to be “multistakeholder” for the first time. But this does not (yet) extend to
transparent open processes where we will get to see other inputs to a Chairs
Statement, let alone have a chance to discuss such inputs across stakeholder
groups. Maybe next time...</div>

<div>Thanks to everyone (about 40 people) who responded to this with
comments and suggestions.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am attaching the letter which was sent a few hours ago to the Dutch
organisers, with consolidated CS inputs. Our understanding of the process is
that a new draft of the Chairs statement, taking into account the various
inputs, will be issued just before the conference next week. However at that
stage there will be no more new inputs to text, but rather discussion limited
to red line text.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This ended up being a very rushed process, as we were advised with 48
hours of a new deadline for us to submit our suggestions. Compiling about 40
sets of comments at short notice into one document was difficult, and left
very little time for a small group to produce a consolidated text and submit
it. Apologies for not being able to consult wider on this, but we trust that
the document submitted covers the range of suggestions and viewpoints
submitted. It will be interesting to see which of our suggestions make it
through to the final statement!</div>
