(WSIS-II/PC-3/DOC/8-E)
Implementation
of the Geneva
and Tunis
Plans of Action
10. In order to assure the sustainability of the WSIS process after
the completion of its Tunis phase, we agree to establish an
implementation mechanism for the Geneva and Tunis Plans
of Action, based upon co-operation among governments and all
stakeholders, with the overarching goal of helping countries
and societies to achieve the development goals of the
Millennium Declaration. To that end, for each Action Line in
the Geneva and Tunis Plans of Action (as identified in the
Annex), a team of stakeholders will work together to promote
implementation. We request the UN Secretary-General to
nominate, from among existing UN bodies or specialised
agencies, those that will [moderate/coordinate] the work of
each team, based on respect for their mandates and leveraging
on their expertise, and within their existing resources.
11.
The [moderator/coordinator] of each team identified in the
Annex should periodically prepare a report on the
implementation of the Geneva and Tunis Plans of Action based
upon the information provided by, and the outputs from
collaboration among, stakeholders, focussing particular
attention on the progress towards achievement of the
internationally-agreed development goals of the Millennium
Declaration, and submit it to [a defined coordination body].
The [head of a defined coordination body] will submit regular
reports to the UN General Assembly, following its existing
rules of procedure.
[Options for a defined coordination body (with participation of
representatives of all stakeholders):
ITU/WSIS-ES;
“existing UN division” (within UN DESA) for following-up
major UN conferences;
Newly-created UN Inter-agency task force, HLSOC-type,
(supported by a 2-3 person secretariat);
Newly-created UN ICT Task Force-type forum (supported
by 2-3 person secretariat);
