[governance] CSTD Q8- Inclusiveness and participation

[Salanieta T. Tamanikaiwaimaro]

Dear All,

This link has a list of organisations within the Pacific that deal with ICT:

http://www.forumsec.org.fj/pages.cfm/economic-governance/ict-2/

and having said that the list is not an exhaustive list but they contribute
in one way or another to the ICT strategy within the Pacific. It does not
include Civil Society except for one.

Kind Regards,

Sala
