[bestbits] POSTnetmundial civil society position

[Jeanette Hofmann]

Hi Erik,

I think this is a great idea but I would suggest a slightly different 
approach. As you can see on this list, there has never been consensus, 
neither within nor across civil society boundaries. So, I don't think a 
consensual postnetmundial doc can be done.

What I would find a valuable exercise is documenting the specific 
suggestions made by civil society for each paragraph.
I know that Marilia compiled the comments made on the basis of the first 
draft outcome doc. Marilia's work would provide a very good starting 
point. Further suggestions could be added to her document.
