[WSIS CS-Plenary] FW: [startup] From S. Khan: Global Alliance status letter

[Sandza Laurent]

Dear colleague, 

I am delighted for the launching of your activities.  
I will like before all remarks, to present to you the
my best wishes in this new year.  
I wish to share your experiments, this, within the
total network alliance for ICT because the world
currently wants to be;  a world of exchanges and
division.  I want to adhere to this logic from where I
share with whole satisfaction your ideals of a mode
right as regards technologies. 
 If you want to join to me out of the network, to
contact me with the email:  keuj11 at yahoo.fr
Best regards.

> Dear colleague,
>  
>  
> I would like to share with you information on the
> current status of our 
> work towards the launch of the Global Alliance for
> ICT and Development. 
>  
> As you know, a paper on "principles and elements" of
> the Alliance was 
> developed as a result of extensive open
> consultations. I would like to
> use 
> this opportunity to once again express my
> appreciation to all who 
> contributed to our discussions. 
>  
> The paper was finalized in December 2005 in light of
> the important 
> outcomes of the World Summit on the Information
> Society and with a view
> to 
> ensuring that the future Alliance contributes in an
> effective, 
> collaborative and synergistic manner to the follow
> up processes and 
> activities as decided by WSIS, and thus advances our
> common quest of 
> harnessing the potential of ICT for promoting
> development. 
>  
> It is envisaged that the Global Alliance will
> provide, with its broad 
> mandate, an innovative, inclusive and interactive
> channel for 
> multi-stakeholder input to policy debate to be
> conducted in 
> intergovernmental organs - ECOSOC and its Commission
> on Science and 
> Technology for Development. The Global Alliance will
> serve as an
> inclusive 
> multi-stakeholder global platform and forum for
> policy dialogue on the
> use 
> of ICT for enhancing the achievement of
> internationally agreed
> development 
> goals.   The Global Alliance would also help
> organize, multi-stakeholder
> 
> events in the context of ECOSOC's reviews of
> cross-cutting themes
> linking 
> the WSIS outcome to the integrated follow-up to and
> implementation of 
> other UN conferences and summits. 
>  
> Meanwhile, our discussions with all stakeholder
> constituencies continue.
> 
> The positive feedback that we are getting from many
> diverse stakeholders
> - 
> governments, the private sector, civil society,
> international 
> organizations of all types - confirms once again a
> broad consensus that 
> such a platform is sorely needed to help enhance
> coherence of our work
> in 
> ICT for development and assure its tangible
> development impact. We are 
> grateful to all partners, especially those who have
> already expressed 
> their readiness to provide concrete support to the
> Alliance, including 
> through hosting events or seconding staff for its
> secretariat. 
>  
> It is my expectation that following approval by the
> Secretary-General in
> 
> the near future, we will reach out to all
> stakeholders and
> constituencies 
> to invite them to participate in the Global
> Alliance. We shall also seek
> 
> their views as well as their nominations to the
> oversight and management
> 
> bodies of the Alliance, so that the Alliance could
> become fully
> functional 
> in the first half of this year. 
>  
> Another important issue that will need to be
> addressed is the
> mobilization 
> of resources and other kinds of support for the
> functioning of the 
> Alliance. 
>  
> We shall revert to you on these matters in the
> coming weeks.
>  
> I very much look forward to your continued support
> of this important 
> initiative.
