Dear all,<br><br>For information, please find attached the draft resolution prepared by the CSTD on WSIS follow-up. This draft is transmitted for adoption by the ECOSOC in July, hopefully with little - if any - modifications. The draft resolution, if adopted by ECOSOC, will initiate two complementary processes on, respectively, the process towards enhanced cooperation and possible improvements to the IGF. <br>
<br>This was the result of truly intense negotiations but is only another step in the long road towards collaboratively designing the interaction modalities among all stakeholders. <br><br>The key paragraphs of the draft resolution related to Internet governance are : <br>

Internet Governance related outcomes of WSIS, namely the process towards
'enhanced cooperation' and the convening of the IGF, are to be pursued by the
UN Secretary General through two distinct processes and further recognizes that
the two processes may be complementary to one another,</span></font><br><br><b>Enhanced cooperation</b><br><br>(...)<br><br><link rel="File-List" href="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CBertrand%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml"><span lang="EN-US">24. Invites the UN Secretary General
to convene open and inclusive consultations involving all member states
and all other stakeholders to proceed with the process towards the
implementation of enhanced cooperation in order to enable governments, on
an equal footing to carry out their roles and responsibilities in
international public policy issues pertaining to the internet, but not in
the day-to-day technical and operational matters, that do not impact on
international public policy issues, through a balanced participation of
all stakeholders in their respective roles and responsibilities, as stated
in paragraph 35 of the Tunis Agenda. These consultations will be held
before the end of 2010, the outcomes of which will be submitted to the 66<sup>th</sup>
UN General Assembly for consideration through ECOSOC;</span><br><br><b>Internet Governance Forum</b><br><br>(...)<br><br><link rel="File-List" href="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CBertrand%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml"><span lang="EN-US">30. Invites the chair of the CSTD to
establish, in an open and inclusive manner, a working group, to seek,
compile and review inputs from all UN member States and all other
stakeholders on improvements to the IGF in line with its mandate as set
out in the Tunis Agenda for the Information Society, and report to its
next substantive session in 2011 with recommendations as appropriate. This
report is to constitute an input from the Commission to the General
Assembly, through ECOSOC, for consideration, should the mandate of the IGF
be extended,</span>.<br></div><style>
