[governance] some points

[Izumi AIZU]

So the game goes on...

Now I just like to leave some points here before forgetting so.

One of the challenges for our caucus during this prepcom is
to make effective interventions. The Chair gave more speaking
slots than we had originaly anticipated. And we are placed
to respond to some new developments, ie to some new proposal
or to the situation of their discussion.

It was so hard to react to these since we needed general consensus
both from those in Geneva, who are often scattered, and also those
who are participating from remote places to the list and watching
the webcast.

It might be easier, we felt in the end, that we can establish some
kind of general framework and mandate under which a number
of us could act as a focal point or liaison persons to quickly
summarize the situation, make short interventions, with the
previously agreed framework on substantive issues.
Now that we have exchanged many views here on this list,
and also various interaction at CS Content and Theme groups
I think we have a general common position or at least understanding
of what we can safely say on behalf of CS and our caucus.

Of course,there are certain areas and issues that we do not have
clear consensus and have very different standpoints, I think that
is natural and not negative, but we can be carefully confine
our interventions to avoid stepping into these touchy areas and
still making good impacts.

Well, we don't know yet where and when the resumed Prepcom
will be taken place. Either Geneva or Tunis, and the modality
of how much we can effectively participate. But in any case
I think this is worth to consider.

I am sure we have more lessons and ideas, but now we also need
some rest.

Thank you for all the efforts here and there. I think we have
achieved a reasonably good collaboration and some, if not that
big, impact to the overall process.
