[Wachholz, Cedric]

Dear colleagues,
For those interested in the UNGA WSIS+10 Review process, please see below very short timelines. Please note that UNESCO is not in charge of this process (and many of our recommendations were not considered) - this email is for simple information sharing purposes.
At least all participants of the former WSIS+10 Reviews by UNESCO (2013) and ITU (2014), plus those who joined UNESCO’s CONNECTing the Dots conference should be admitted to below meeting.
For more information, please visit this website<http://unpan3.un.org/wsis10/> ; should you have more questions, I propose you contact Susan Alzner, who sent below mail, at alzner at un.org<mailto:alzner at un.org>.
Sorry for any cross-postings,
FYI,
Best regards,
Cédric Wachholz

BACKGROUND

In December of 2003, the world came together in Geneva at the World Summit on Information Society (WSIS) to declare a “common desire and commitment to build a people-centred, inclusive and development-oriented Information Society,” and thereby ushered in an era of harnessing the power of information and communication technology (ICT) to contribute to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The resulting Geneva Plan of Action established targets and the eleven action lines, which guide development in specific areas.

The second phase of WSIS, conducted in Tunis in 2005, built upon the achievements of the Geneva Plan, with the resulting Tunis Agenda addressing additional issues, such as financing and internet governance. Paragraph 111 of the Tunis Agenda requested the General Assembly to undertake the overall review of the implementation of the outcomes of the World Summit on the Information Society in 2015.  This review "will be concluded by a two-day high-level meeting of the General Assembly in December 2015, to be preceded by an intergovernmental process that also takes into account inputs from all relevant stakeholders of the World Summit on the Information Society," as specified in UN General Assembly Resolution 68/320.
