[governance] Re: Civil Society outnumbered

I absolutely agree with Paul. I didn’t notice such behavior our offer. All the young volunteers (male and female) were students. They were very helpful: always smiling even when I got angry for the Internet connectivity inside the meeting rooms. They tried their best to find solutions for me. 

We can say that the host country wasn’t very successful in some aspects of the organization, but its willing and its efforts to make the event successful were very clear.

I also second Paul's observation.

There were young ladies hired as local staffs on site, but nothing sexual in the strict sense of words. Just for the record and the host country.

I'm not arguing with Alejandro but for the record, I personally didn't notice any such services, or receive any offers.  Nor have I even heard about this until now!

(just in case people who weren't there get the wrong impression of what was going on in the corridors!)

Paul.

The offers of similar services by venue staff were astounding. It is not the largest number but it adds to the potential or suspect astroturfing. Seen plenty of the second since the preparatory process in WSIS and that's only in this sequence of events.
