Quoting Beatriz Busaniche of the University of Buenos Aires on the frustrations of hammering out an acceptable statement of principles at PrepCom3 for the World Summit on the Information Society: The Civil Society group "will insist that the proposal of the WSIS includes our priorities, such as development and justice for the South, human rights, gender equity, community media, education, public goods, free software and open access to scientific and technological information." The same view is strongly stated in a September 26 press release from the Civil Society group.
