[CONGO WSIS - Philippe Dam]

For your information, find attached the ECOSOC resolution on integrated and
coordinated implementation of UN conferences and summits (E/2007/L.32),
adopted on 27 July. Its paragraph 4 refers to the role of the CSTD in the
WSIS follow up. Paragraph 4 reads as follows:

 

"4. Acknowledges the efforts of the Commission on Science and Technology

for Development, in accordance with General Assembly resolutions 57/270 B
and

60/252 and Council resolution 2006/46, to effectively assist the Council as
the focal

point in the system-wide follow-up, in particular the review and assessment
of

progress made in implementing the outcomes of the World Summit on the

Information Society, while at the same time maintaining its original mandate
on

science and technology for development, also taking into account the
provisions of

paragraph 60 of the 2005 World Summit Outcome, and also acknowledges the

efforts of the Commission to use the multi-stakeholder approach effectively
while

preserving its intergovernmental nature;"

 

In addition, note that the CSTD draft resolution on the "Flow of Information
for the Follow-Up of WSIS" and its draft decision on the "Multi-year work
programme" were also adopted without a vote on 27 February.
