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
