Subject: heads up on new "CS Working Methods" group
 
Dear Viola, Robert, Derrick and Renata,

I just wanted to give you all fair notice that folks who met in Berlin on Saturday night are planning to send out to the plenary shortly an announcement of the formation of a "Civil Society Working Methods" working group to collaborate on the internal procedures and processes of civil society in the 2nd Phase of the WSIS.  I know this is a subject near and dear to your hearts, so I didn't want you to be surprised by it.

This does not clash in any way with the Bureau's efforts to improve and evolve its own work and methods.  In fact we hope it is a useful resource for any working group of the bureau that gets formed.  But we think the orientation is distinctly different, since the bureau is focused on the modalities of civil society in relation to the official WSIS process, rather than internally among each other.

The starting point for discussions we feel should be what has been learned from how we operated in WSIS I and what are the key principles that we should base our working methods on.  The next steps are : what are key CS process questions to be addressed for WSIS-II, and what are some basic standards and working methods that we can all agree on to work effectively and democratically together.

An important goal is to make sure that we are much more effective at Prepcom II in February than we were at Prepcom I.  I have attached my notes from our meeting, which is mostly just a list of questions and some process ideas.

Regards,

Rik
