ADIEU L' AMI !
In Memoriam par Gérard Diaconesco
Il est toujours très difficile d'admettre la disparition d'un ami qui vous est cher et que parfois les hasards de la vie vous ont fait rencontrer tardivement lors de vos déplacements à travers notre vaste Monde.
Car il est vrai qu'avec notre différence d'âge de près de 14 ans entre lui et moi, nos chemins ne se sont croisés au fil du temps qui s'écoule inexorable pour nous tous que ces toutes dernières années en ce début de XXIe siècle lors de grandes manifestations culturelles tant à Paris ( les Voeux de l'Internet, Salons de l'Internet ... ) qu'en province comme à Nice il y a déjà un an de cela en octobre 2008 à l'occcasion de rencontres socio-professionnelles tournant autour des thèmes du " Futur de l'INTERNET ".
Françis tu n'es plus là et ma peine est immense, tu vas nous manquer, mais tu resteras pour moi comme pour nous tous un grand Monsieur qui a eu le courage d'ouvrir la voie pour les jeunes générations montantes de la "Liberté " des Réseaux tant sociaux que scientifiques de "l'INTERNET MONDIAL", ma famille, mon épouse Liliane et moi-même présentons nos plus vives et sincères condoléances à ses parents, sa famille et à sa grande fille Flore.
Reposes en paix mon ami, nous ne t'oublierons jamais.
Gérard Diaconesco

Plenary Session Statements ( July 16, 2003 )

Plenary session statements are among the most effective ways available to the Civil Society in order to convey a message to all the states of the world at the WSIS.
On July 16, among the speakers of the Civil Society Richard Stallman ( PCT WG ) was about the third one, and Francis Muguet ( SI WG ) was the last speaker. Since the total time alloted to the Civil Society was short, each WG statement was to be even shorter.

Francis Muguet pronounced his speech in French (... otherwise the French Ambassador would have been mad against him ! ...) (French text ), ( noisy mp3 courtesy of Christian Scherer ), ( English version ) . Some people in the audience were enthusiastic. The ambassador from Argentina came in person to congratulate him and gave her business card.

- About WSIS;
- WSIS Follow-Up: In the resolution (2006/46) passed on 28 July 2006, entitled “Follow-up to the World Summit on the Information Society and review of the Commission on Science and Technology for Development”, ECOSOC indicated how it will oversee the system-wide follow-up of the Summit outcomes, as requested in the Tunis outputs. This is in the context of the annual consideration by ECOSOC of the integrated and coordinated implementation and follow-up of major United Nations conferences. To this end, ECOSOC decided that the Commission on Science and Technology for Development (CSTD) will assist the Council as the focal point in the system-wide follow-up of WSIS. (full text).
