Dear all, (Français en dessous)
As you have all been informed, the Africa civil society discussion forum
begins this week in preparation for the WSIS summit and the programme is
outlined as follows;
Week 1 : (24 -30 August) : Prepcom III (What’s happening and how to make
the most of it (Moderation by Nnenna)
week 2 : (31 Aug - 6 Sept) : Internet Governance Report (Moderated by
Ken Lohento)
Week 3 : (7 - 13 Sept) : Internet Governance and other issues (Moderated
by MawaQi Chango)
Week 4 : (14-17): Beyond Tunis, WSIS implementation and follow-up ACSIS
(By Emmanuel Njenga and Other)
---------------------------------------
Week 1 Focus: Prepcom III – What’s happening and how to make the most of
it (Moderation by Nnenna)
We will start by focusing on how to prepare for WSIS prepcom 3 (mainly
on issues of content, the stakes for Africa, and how to organize
ourselves for effective lobbying on our key issues). We also intend to
discussions preparation for the WSIS summit including the Africa Village
exhibitions).The WSIS PrepCom III of Phase II of the WSIS – will take
place from September 19-30 and will be the last meeting for negotiation
of the final Tunis documents.
The most important element for the Africa civil society in preparation
for the PrepCom is to identify and prioritise our key issues. For
example, consider our collective resources, among them are the following
key issues we need to discuss during this week.
- How will Africa civil society effectively monitor and lobby around
all parts of all documents that will be negotiated during Prepcom?
- If so, we need then to make sure we allocate/delegate
responsibility for attending different parts of the meeting, following
specific sub-committees, participating in specific civil society caucus
meetings, having people monitoring drafting groups etc
- If not, which of the documents, or which parts of the documents are
most important to Africa civil society?
- What are our top 3-5 lobbying points and/or issues in relation to
these parts of the documents?
- What practical recommendations do we make for decision-makers?
- Who are our potential allies in relation to those issues (and
include all stakeholders) ?
The background information document (Africa Civil Society Prepcom
Briefing) that outlines briefly the documents that will be negotiated,
how they will be negotiated, and different opportunities for lobbying
and the timetable for negotiations for PrepCom III can be downloaded in

cadre de la préparation du SMSI commence aujourd'hui. Le programme et le
contenu de la discussion se présentent comme suit:
Semaine 1 : (24 -30 August) : quesions relatives au prepcom 3

--------------------------
Semaine I : PrepCOM III : Ce qui se passera et comment en tirer le
meilleur . (Modération : Nnenna)
Suite aux informations déjà donnée, la discussion de cette semaine a
pour thème comment préparer pour le PrepCom 3 du SMSI (surtout les
questions de contenu, les enjeux africains et comment nous organiser
pour un lobbying efficace). Nous comptons aussi discuter des préparatifs
du sommet y compris l’exposition du village africain. Le PrepCom 3 de
SMSI aura lier du 19 au 30 septembre et sera la dernière réunion pour la
négociation finale des documents
L’élément le plus important pour la société civile africaine dans ces
préparatifs, c’est d’identifier les sujets clés et les mettre en
priorité. Quelques questions à aborder cette semaine :
- Comment la société civile africaine pourra t-elle efficacement veiller
et faire un plaidoyer autour de documents qui seront en négociation
pendant le PrepCom
- Si cela est le cas, il faudra donc allouer/déléguer des responsables
pour suivre les différentes parties de la réunion, dans les sous-comités
spécifiques, participer aux réunions spécifiques des caucus de la
société civile, et avoir des personnes pour suivre les groupes de rédaction.
- Quels devraient être les documents les plus importants pour la société
civile africaine ?
- Quels sont les premiers 3-5 points/sujets en relation avec ces
documents ?
- Quelles seront les recommandations pratiques pour les décideurs ?
- Qui sont nos alliés potentiels en relation avec ces sujets ?
