[Chapter-delegates] Call for input / ISOC’s CSTD contribution

[Carl Gahnberg]

Dear Colleagues,

 

ISOC is preparing our annual reporting to the United Nation’s Commission on Science and Technology for Development (UN CSTD) on progress made in implementing the outcomes from the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS). This is an annual report where stakeholders are invited to provide information about what they and their community has been doing in support of the implementation, and to this end we were hoping to get your input, and to share with the UN some of the great projects and initiatives that are happening in our community of members. 

 

The questions we need to address are available below. We plan on emphasizing ISOC’s work regarding e.g. Community Networks, Content Blocking, the Beyond the Net programme, and our reports on connectivity in SIDS and LLDCs, but information about all types of initiatives and projects are welcome! 

 

Please have a look at the questions and see if you have ideas for projects and initiatives we could include as part of the reporting to the UN. Your input would be welcome. 

 

If you have ideas, please send me an email with the information on gahnberg at isoc.org by December 7. 

 

Best regards,

Carl Gahnberg

 

 

 

---------------------Reporting template from the UN ---------------------

 

 

Part One: An executive summary (1/2 page) of activities undertaken by all stakeholders, progress made, and any obstacles encountered.

 

 

Part Two: A brief (1–2 pages) analytical overview of trends and experiences in implementation at the national, regional, and international levels and by all stakeholders, highlighting achievements and obstacles since WSIS. This could include information on the facilitation process of implementation, monitoring and cooperation among stakeholders.

  

 

Part Three: A brief description (1–2 pages) of: 

a) Innovative policies, programmes and projects which have been undertaken by all stakeholders to implement the outcomes. Where specific targets or strategies have been set, progress in achieving those targets and strategies should be reported. 

 

 

 

(b) Future actions or initiatives to be taken, regionally and/or internationally, and by all stakeholders, to improve the facilitation and ensure full implementation in each of the action lines and themes, especially with regard to overcoming those obstacles identified in Part Two above. You are encouraged to indicate any new commitments made to further implement the outcomes.
