As negociations on the World Summit on the Information Society were not completed at the Third Preparatory Meeting in September 2003, an additional meeting is happening in Geneva November 10th-14th.
The goals of the Youth Caucus for this meeting are to continue the lobbying strategy initiated by the Youth Caucus at past meetings, ensure the Youth Paragraph remains in its current form, include Action Plan youth references that follow the Declaration, and promote our Summit Events.
We are focusing on the Action Plan to correspond with Paragraph 9 of the Declaration to "empower youth as learners, developers, contributors, entrepreneurs, decision-makers." The Declaration has been absolved into the "Non-Paper" drafted by Mr. Sammasehkou (President of the PrepCom).
Now for the good news: the youth paragraph passed! with the addition of an opening line reading "We are committed to realising our common vision of the Information Society for ourselves and for future generations." You can see our
revised inputs to the Action Plan.
The contentious issues are being dealt with by sub-groups (financing, human rights, cultural diversity, media). Some governments are quite pessimistic and generally feel things are going too slow.
We continue to work closely with Civil Society by monitoring meetings, volunteering in their drafting group and submitting our text.
Also being discussed are the speakers from Civil Society for the Round-tables, Plenary and Multi-Stakeholder event during the Summit itself. |
