> Dear colleagues,
> 
> The UN Commission on Science and Technology for Development (CSTD) is
> conducting a five year review of progress made in the implementation
> of, and follow-up to, the outcome of the World Summit on the
> Information Society (WSIS).
> 
> The purpose of the review is to identify progress made, obstacles and
> constraints encountered, as well as actions and initiatives to
> overcome them.   The review will also consider how changes in the ICT
> landscape may call for increased/reduced attention to certain areas.
> 
> To gather inputs for the review, the Chair of the CSTD has initiated
> an open consultation with all stakeholders, including UN and other
> intergovernmental agencies, governments, ICT sector associations and
> agencies, private sector and civil society actors. The principal
> issues in this consultation are set out in a questionnaire, which can
> be found online at http://www.unctad.info/en/CSTD_WSIS5 .  This
> questionnaire invites views and contributions concerning:
> 
> the experience of WSIS implementation since 2005, at an international
> and regional level;
> changes which have taken place in the ICT landscape since WSIS; and
> priorities  for WSIS implementation and Information Society
> development over the next five years.
> 
> It also includes space for other comments that contributors may wish to make.
> 
> The questionnaire could be filled out directly online at the URL
> indicated above.  Responses could also be emailed to Mr. Mongi Hamdi
> (wsis5 at unctad.org)
> 
> The Chair has invited responses to this questionnaire to be submitted
> by 14 December 2010.
> 
> Thank you.
