[WSIS CS-Plenary] outcomes of CSTD Bureau meeting

[CONGO - Philippe Dam]

Dear all, 

 

Quick report after the CST Bureau meeting in which observer stakeholder
participated. The direction which is now planning to be taken is not having
negotiated decisions/resolutions as the outcome of the session, but a series
of "agreed conclusions" by the CSTD, annexed to the CSTD report.

 

This morning's session is anticipated to be a series of 2 multi-stakeholder
interactive dialogues (the first one being on the CSTD traditional mandate,
the second on the WSIS follow-up mandate). CS observers could make oral
contributions on issues to be included in the agreed conclusions, and could
also send written inputs to be included in the agreed conclusions.

 

It is still probably that a Decision should be adopted on the CSTD
multi-year programme of work, probably based on the CSTD draft concept note,
circulated on Monday. 

 

The morning CSTD meeting has not started yet. I'll let you know asap when
the WSIS follow-up mandate will be addressed and how CS would participate.

 

Best, 

 

Ph
