         Message from the WSIS Team

Dear WSIS Stakeholders,

Continuing our online and offline dialogues, since the WSIS Forum 2013, on
the WSIS Review Process and the future of the WSIS Process beyond 2015
several crucial questions arise. In building the vision of the WSIS Process
beyond 2015: in the past ten years, what are the main achievements in the
area of the information society, in particular in the implementation of the
WSIS Action Lines; what are the key challenges that need to be addressed in
the next 10 years; and what is the key role that ICTs can play in the post
2015 Development Agenda?

The WSIS+10 High-Level
Event<https://www.itu.int/ITU-D/hcb/newsletter/link.php?M=31724&N=205&L=472&F=H>,
an extended version of the WSIS Forum (13-17 April 2014, Sharm el-Sheikh),
will address these questions and also assess progress made in the
implementation of the WSIS outcomes related to the WSIS Action Lines under
mandates of the participating agencies, while providing a platform for
multistakeholder coordination of the implementation of the WSIS outcomes,
with involvement and participation of all WSIS action line facilitators,
other UN agencies and all WSIS stakeholders.

The WSIS+10 High-Level Event will review the WSIS Outcomes (2003 and 2005)
related to the Action Lines with a view to developing proposals on a new
vision beyond 2015, potentially also exploring new targets. The meeting
will be organized taking into account decisions of the 68th Session of the
UN General Assembly.

The preparatory
process<https://www.itu.int/ITU-D/hcb/newsletter/link.php?M=31724&N=205&L=455&F=H>will
comprise of an Open Consultation Process consisting of six phases,
including three physical meetings and online consultations. This open and
inclusive open consultation process will result in:

      WSIS Stocktaking

New call for update and new entries. Contribute to the WSIS Stocktaking
Report 2014.

During the WSIS process in 2004, stakeholders expressed their view that the
public stocktaking database of WSIS-related implementation activities (
www.wsis.org/stocktaking<https://www.itu.int/ITU-D/hcb/newsletter/link.php?M=31724&N=205&L=93&F=H>),
structured according to the 11 WSIS Action Lines (Geneva Plan of Action),
should be further maintained under the stewardship of ITU (see Tunis
Agenda, § 120).

The principal role of the WSIS Stocktaking exercise is to leverage the
activities of stakeholders working on the implementation of WSIS outcomes
and share knowledge and experience of projects by replicating successful
models. In this context, WSIS Stocktaking process provides a portal of best
practices for stakeholders seeking updated information on the progress of
implementation of WSIS outcomes (see Geneva Plan of Action, §28.e)

ECOSOC Resolution 2012 on “Assessment of the progress made in the
implementation of and follow-up to the outcomes of the World Summit on the
Information Society” encourages all WSIS stakeholders to continue to
contribute information to the WSIS Stocktaking database. The results of the
previous call for update and new entries were presented in the fifth
edition of the Report on WSIS Stocktaking reflecting more than 700
WSIS-related activities for the period May 2012-May 2013.

The sixth edition of the WSIS Stocktaking Report is the continuation of the
WSIS Stocktaking Report series and will be prepared for WSIS+10 High-Level
Event and Forum 2014 as the background document.

The WSIS Stocktaking Report 2014 will also be shared with ITU-D study
Groups in the elaboration of Output Reports and will be submitted as the
contribution to the 17th session of the Commission on Science and
Technology for Development (CSTD).

In 2013, the new application for the database was introduced with
additional features that allow stakeholders to use the database in a more
efficient way. The users are able to access their account of
projects/activities where they could track all recorded data and
update/edit their existing WSIS related activities at any time.

We look forward to receiving your responses and any other associated
documentation by 1st December 2013. Don’t miss the opportunity to provide
your input to the 6th edition of the WSIS Stocktaking report

Official documentation and questionnaire is available at
www.wsis.org/stocktaking<https://www.itu.int/ITU-D/hcb/newsletter/link.php?M=31724&N=205&L=93&F=H>

Identifying Emerging Trends and a Vision Beyond 2015 booklet

Since 2009, the WSIS forum has proven to be a unique platform for
multistakeholder brainstorming and consensus on emerging trends in the area
of Information Society. This
booklet<https://www.itu.int/ITU-D/hcb/newsletter/link.php?M=31724&N=205&L=439&F=H>captures
emerging trends in the 11 WSIS Action lines, both in terms of
policy and technology, discussed by stakeholders during WSIS Forum 2013.

      Partnership on Measuring ICT for Development

The Partnership on Measuring ICT for Development is actively involved in
the WSIS+10 review process and has taken the lead role in monitoring
progress towards the achievements of the WSIS Targets. The Partnership is
preparing a final quantitative assessment report, which will analyze and
discuss the achievements made on each one of the ten WSIS targets. The
report will be based on available data for the 49 indicators identified in
the Partnership’s 2011 Measuring the WSIS Targets: a statistical framework
document. The report will be launched at the WSIS+10 high-level meeting on
the overall review of the WSIS, to take place in April 2014. In July 2013,
the Partnership, through the UN Regional Commissions, the OECD and UNCTAD,
will send out the WSIS Targets questionnaire to WSIS focal points in all
countries to collect data for the indicators identified to track the WSIS
Targets. The results of this questionnaire will be used as an input to the
final 2014 WSIS assessment report and all countries are encouraged to
respond to this questionnaire. *This survey will be the last opportunity to
contribute data to the final assessment report.*

      Broadband Commission

Planning for progress: Why national broadband plans matter - a contribution
to the work of the Broadband Commission for Digital Development

This new ITU and Cisco report finds that there has been strong recent
growth in broadband plans, with some 134 policies in force by mid - 2013.
Plans may take different forms and vary in targets, however share a common
emphasis on the vital role of broadband in underpinning national
competitiveness, and extending national footprint of broadband networks and
usage of broadband-enabled services and applications. Research conducted
for this report suggests that the introduction or adoption of a broadband
plan is associated with 2.5% higher fixed broadband penetration, and 7.4%
higher mobile broadband penetration on average. This result is consistent
with a National Broadband Plan focusing efforts across industry in
coordination with policy-makers, emphasizing the role of broadband as a
national priority, and signaling national commitment to the roll-out of
broadband.

Lady of Nigeria as ITU’s Child Online Protection Champion

On Monday 22 July 2013, ITU will host an inauguration ceremony of H.E. Dr.
Dame Patience Goodluck Jonathan, First Lady of Nigeria, as its Child Online
Protection (COP)<https://www.itu.int/ITU-D/hcb/newsletter/link.php?M=31724&N=205&L=462&F=H>Champion.
A progressive leader and renowned humanitarian, the First Lady of
Nigeria has worked extensively to empower children and women in Nigeria.
With the support of the First Lady as ITU’s COP Champion, the Federal
Republic of Nigeria will be taking more extensive steps to build a safer
online environment for children and young people. ITU is looking forward to
collaborating closely with the First Lady and her country to promote child
online safety.

In addition, ITU and the Federal Republic of Nigeria have just signed a
Memorandum of Understanding on the establishment of a Regional
Cybersecurity Centre for Africa in Nigeria. This Regional Centre will
facilitate multi-stakeholder collaboration on combatting cyber threats at
the regional and national levels—with an emphasis on activities related to
child online protection.

      ITU Partners with IWF in its Mission to Achieve Child Online Safety

In collaboration with the Internet Watch Foundation
(IWF)<https://www.itu.int/ITU-D/hcb/newsletter/link.php?M=31724&N=205&L=454&F=H>,
ITU<https://www.itu.int/ITU-D/hcb/newsletter/link.php?M=31724&N=205&L=467&F=H>created
a template for countries to assess online child sexual abuse
content and propose mechanisms for its elimination. To test the efficacy of
the template and approach, IWF has run a pilot programme in Uganda earlier
in June. For more information, visit ITU’s Child Online Protection
