OPEN CONSULTATION PROCESS
Interim
Report as of
1 March 2010
In order to
ensure the participatory and inclusive spirit of the WISIS Forum 2010, scheduled
to be held from 10 to 14 May in Geneva, the organizers i.e. ITU, UNESCO, UNDP,
UNCTAD announced an open consultation process on the thematic focus of the
forum. The open consultation aimed at engaging Governments, international
organizations, civil society and the private sector in the preparations of the
WSIS Forum 2010.
The open consultation process, consisting of three phases was well received and
appreciated by all. Multiple stakeholders from 48 countries world wide
participated in the open consultation process, first proactively discussing the
Forum on the WSIS community platform and in the second phase, submitting over
110 contributions. Consequently in the last stage the
final review meeting of the WSIS Forum 2010 Open Consultations was held on 10th
February 2010.
The review meeting was well
represented by all stakeholders. Following the
agenda a brief
overview of
Phase One and
Phase
Two was provided to the participants. Additionally a
summary of possible topics
for the WSIS 2010 Forum extracted from the submissions
received
served (Overview of Submitted
Contributions) as a base document for further discussion and inputs. The medium
of remote participation was used successfully by
stakeholders who could not be present physically for the meeting, but submitted
official contributions, for instance, Argentina, Columbia, Mexico, USA etc.
All stakeholders present participated with deep enthusiasm and
strong commitment to the WSIS Forum 2010 open consultative process. Final review
meeting agreed that the comments and suggestions received during the meeting
would serve as inputs for the Draft WSIS Forum 2010 Agenda that has been made
available for further comments and suggestions from the 1st
of March for 10 DAYS.
