[WSIS CS-Plenary] TR: 5 delegations draft resolution - submission to the CSTD for consideration

[CONGO - Philippe Dam]

Dear colleagues, 

 

Find attached the draft resolution circulated yesterday by El Salvador, Finland, France, Latvia and Switzerland for consideration at the 11th session of the CSTD. Ambassador’s Karklins’ informal note on the CSTD listserv attached below is self-explanatory.

 

The Draft resolution will be tabled and further discussed during next week’s session of the CSTD. It basically includes two main parts: 

-          An assessment and recommendations on the evolving challenges of the information society (broadband gap, growth of mobile telephony, network security);

-          An assessment and recommendations on the WSIS institutional follow-up and implementation architecture (in particular Action Lines Facilitation process and some comments on the IGF).

 

I encourage those who will participate in the CSTD session to discuss some elements of this text on the CS Plenary list.

 

Best, 

 

Ph

Objet : 5 delegation submission to the CSTD for consideration

 

Dear commission members, colleagues

 

On behalf of co-authors, I have an honor to submit for your consideration the proposal of the draft resolution which CSTD may consider during its up-coming session. The draft was elaborated by El Salvador, Finland, France, Latvia and Switzerland and is meant to stimulate Commission’s consideration of the issues at stake. It has been a truly collaborative effort and we hope that proposal will find general support and will serve as a basis for further work.

 

Equally, five delegations were driven by desire to develop further working methods of the Commission and use inter-sessional period for substantive exchange. This time we did not meet our own target date for early submission of the proposal, but we still have few days before the opening of the session.

 

We would appreciate if Secretariat could circulate the proposed draft as a CRP on Monday, 26 May.

 

I hope you will give some considerations to the proposal and all five delegations are looking forward to the discussion of the draft proposal.

 

Sincerely

Janis Karklins

Ambassador of Latvia to France and UNESCO, Vice-chair of the CSTD
