[governance] A Response re. Just Net Coalition and Internet Social Forum

[divina.meigs]

Same here, Sean, nice to hear your voice again.  It would be nice to have
the spirit of the early debates back in time for the next phase WSIS + 10 Š

Dear Sean,

 

I warmly thank you for your smoothing words ; right now we need them,
particularly on our lists :-)

 

I also remembrer your involvment in WSIS as soon as it began in 2002. During
its course, CS (i.a. with Bill Mc Iver and Sally Burch) did a good job and
was strong enough to elaborate and adopt its own Declaration, in Geneva and
in Tunis; they still reference documents for us, even if many new issues did
appear since then.

 

As you, Sean, I feel well in ISF and the spirit it inherited from WSF.

 

Best regards

 

Jean-Louis Fullsack
