AW: [governance] at the WSIS Forum OC

[David Allen]

Marilyn Cade was onsite.  I report from a computer, remote.

Having now closed the browser window - and the materials from the  
meeting not yet posted online, so not yet available longer term - I no  
longer have the 'summary' that was put up on the 'live blog.'

The summary in that blog was not intended to be a transcript; it was  
one person's excerpts during the meeting.  In fact, the statement was  
as originally reported below, coming at the end of a longer  
intervention.  The individual was introduced as presenting for the  
Russian Federation, including also being introduced as such in the  
blog 'summary.'

Accompanying, there were some sentences devoted to how 'resources  
could be saved.'

There was a comment from a remote participant 'supporting the view of  
the Russian Federation.'  Though, since there were several elements in  
that Russian Federation presentation, it was unclear exactly what was  
meant to be supported.

There were also a live comment to the effect of 'following up the  
Russian Federation suggestion(s).'

Apparently there will be fairly voluminous materials put up post the  
meeting - likely the video and audio also.  To find it:  the  
intervention came soon before my time-and-date stamp below, in other  
words a few minutes after 5 PM there.

As to the PleniPot, the informed summary I was fortunate to read  
suggests that the outcomes in Guadalajara were the result of large  
amounts of arm-twisting.  While some proposals there did not carry the  
day, then, the sentiments and the intents remained bright, to be seen  
going forward.  As this illustrates, and as surely will be seen,  
ongoing.
