well, apart from this speaker defining the list, we have to also..

but, i think there's a chunk of work we have missed here - and that 
is monitoring and responding to the western mainstream press..

many of our developing country colleagues are concerned that the 
press is successfully propagating the notion that broad civil society 
supports the US goverment in the WSIS - which is neither true, nor 
helpful in closing the gaps that have emerged in IG between north and 
south, and most alarmingly and chillingly in relation to Tunsia and 
human rights.

as the loudest voice from Civil society in relation to IG in the 
WSIS, i feel the caucus should respond to this somehow..
could we for example write something for our colleague at the economist?
