> Outlook India:
> The resolution decided that the overall review will be concluded in
> December 2015 by a two-day General Assembly high-level meeting to be
> preceded by an inter-governmental preparatory process that also takes into
> account inputs from all relevant stakeholders of WSIS.  The
> intergovernmental negotiation process would begin in June 2015 and lead to
> an inter-governmentally agreed outcome document for adoption at the UNGA
> meeting. The process retains the ownership of the preparatory meetings and
> the final outcome document with member states alone. Mukerji said the
> resolution ensures that leaders, "at the highest possible level" will meet
> at the high-level plenary meeting in December next year to adopt the
> outcome of the intergovernmental negotiations.

> Wolfgang:
> One of the big achievements in the WSIS process was that civil society got
> a voice in the process. A Milestone was the CS WSIS Declaratzion from
> December 2003 which was handed over to the president of the first summit,
> WSIS 1. It became an official document. The Tunis Agenda confirmed and
> enhanced the role of civil society. As you can see from the text above, ten
> years later this process is back in the hands of "governments only". The
> final outcome document will be with member states only by taking into
> account inputs from all relevant stakeholders (which sounds like a joke
> with the experiences of a enhanced communicartion and cooperation over the
> last ten years, including the UNCSTD WGs. Should civil society write a
> letter to UN Secretary General Ban Kin Moon?
