[governance] Outline of the WSIS Follow-up Report 2008 - CS inputs welcome

[CONGO WSIS - Philippe Dam]

Dear all, 

 

Find attached the outline of the WSIS Follow-up Report 2008, to be prepared
by the CSTD Secretariat as the second background document for the 2008 CSTD
session. The publication of this report was mentioned during the 26 February
briefing with the CSTD Secretariat. In addition to the UN Secretary
General's report, which will collect information and reports coming from the
International Organisations serving as Action Line facilitators, the WSIS
Follow-up Report will consist in a more analytical description of
developments and trends. 

 

Its drafting will be done by the CTSD Secretariat with the support of
consultants.

 

The CSTD Secretariat encourages NGOs and civil society entities to provide
inputs and contributions which will be shared with the drafting team of the
Report: these contributions should be sent to Charles Geiger by e-mail;
those who would not have Mr. Geiger's contacts can contact me off line. The
civil society contributions can either consist in comments on the attached
outline, or in written substantive documentation / paper produced by your
organisation on issues to be addressed in the report.

 

There is no specific deadline for these submissions, but note that the work
on this report is currently on going, therefore the sooner the better! Of
course, these contributions will be used by the drafting team, keeping in
mind time and space constraints (the total report will be 50 pages). 

 

It is planned that this analytical document should be published every year
by the CSTD Secretariat, as background for the CSTD.

Feel free to get back to me for any further information in this regard.

 

 

Note finally that information regarding the limited number of fellowships
for the CSTD session will be made available in the course of next week.

 

Best regards, 

 

Philippe
