"<font face="Verdana">IT for Change was at the 18th annual session
of the United Nations Commission on Science and Technology for
Development . We delivered the following intervention during the
plenary discussion reviewing the World Summit on the Information
Society (WSIS). This meeting of the Commission was supposed to
input into the WSIS plus 10 review t<font face="Verdana">o</font>
be taken up in December, 2015, by the UN General Assembly.
Unfortunately, even as critical issues about the Internet - most
with significant global political dimensions<font face="Verdana">
- are </font> increasingly gathering momentum, the Commission's
proceedings saw a complete political stalemate. Anyone sitting
through the five days of the annual session would have got the
impression that all is truly well with the Internet and its global
societal impact! Our statement speaks out against such complacency
and<font face="Verdana"> abdication</font> of global political
responsibility by key actors."<br>
