[Air-L] United Nations Commission on Science and Technology for Development consultation request

[jeremy hunsinger]

The Economic and Social Council and the General Assembly requested the United Nations Commission on Science and Technology for Development (CSTD) to carry out a five year review of progress in the implementation of, and follow-up to, the outcome of the World Summit on the Information Society.

Pursuant to ECOSEC E/2006/46, this review will seek to identify areas where progress has been made; and where progress has been slow. It should further identify obstacles and constraints encountered, and actions and initiatives to overcome them and important measures for further implementation of WSIS outcomes.  The review should also consider how changes in the ICT landscape may call for increased/reduced attention to certain areas.

The report will draw on existing reports and on open consultation with all stakeholders, including UN and other intergovernmental agencies, governments, ICT sector associations and agencies, private sector and civil society actors.

The principal issues in this consultation are set out in a questionnaire.


The Chair of CSTD invites you to respond to these questions by 14 December 2010.
