[bestbits] Timeline and process for UN post-2015 development goals

[Anne Jellema]

The following may be helpful for mapping how WSIS processes could feed into
the post-2015 goals or "Sustainable Development Goals":

Overall timeline is in the bottom row of this table:
http://www.sustainabledevelopment2015.org/index.php/about/timeline

A lot of SDG agenda-setting has already been done and UNSG has already
issued a framework, so in that sense we/WSIS are late to the party. But
from now to August 2014, the Open Working
Group<http://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/index.php?menu=1549>will be
an important site for horse-trading on 'what's in, what's out'
before the final SDGs are adopted (if all goes well) by the UNGA in Sept
2015.

The 9-13 Dec 2013 session of the Working Group is due to address ICT issues
under the banner of 'access to science and technology'. The background
brief for this session is here:
http://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/content/documents/2081Science%20Tech%20Issues%20Brief_Final_14_Oct.pdf

ECOSOC-registered organisations can still submit proposals for side events
during the Dec meeting.

Main civil society platform for influencing the SDGs is
http://www.worldwewant2015.org/ (created/supported by the UN so not wholly
independent).
