> Merci Cissé

>
>
> pour ce message  qui nous interpelle au moins à deux égards :
>
>
>
> - la représentativité de la SC au sein du processus du WSIS+ (Les Fora
> SMSI, le FGI, ...)
>
>
>
> - les échanges internes à la SC : modalités électives, diversité
> linguistique (place au français, à l'espagnol, et ...), contenus
> programmatiques.
>
>
>
> Dans un mois s'ouvre le Forum 2016 du SMSI à Genève. La SC y sera
> présente. L'urgence est donc de déterminer dès maintenant la date et le
> lieu de l'assemblée plénière de la SC qui sera chargée de discuter et qui
> aura naturellement le mandat de décider des priorités et des grandes lignes
> des contributions de la SC lors des diverses sessions, ateliers ou autres
> événements. Je suggère la soirée de lundi 2 mai dans une salle sur place à
> réserver dès que possible auprès du "WSIS Team". Nous pourrons alors
> convenir de nos réunions plénières journalières pour faire le point
> régulièrement et désigner nos représentants et intervenants du lendemain.
>
>
>
> Il est temps de revenir à un fonctionnement plus humain, des échanges
> enrichissants et des contributions qui marquent nos priorités et promeuvent
> nos objectifs communs. C'est comme cela que la SC a pu garder sa relative
> cohésion et se faire respecter. Voire de valablement contribuer aux
> documents officiels des Sommets de Genève puis de Tunis, bien que cet
> apport ait été limité comme nos Déclarations l'ont précisé.
>
>
>
> Il faut absolument que la SC se retrouve et retrouve la cordialité des
> échanges humains ! Car à aucun moment ceux-ci ne peuvent être assurés
> uniquement par voie électronique.

> > Concernant ACSIS, l'une des premières actions que j'ai entreprises en
