Subject: [Internet Policy] WSIS+10 negotiations are accelerating

 

Dear Members,


As many of you are aware, the WSIS+10 Review Non-Paper was recently released, and we have a very small window to react. The UN website was updated just a few hours ago: the document is now open for comments - including from non-governments - until 18 Sept. (see details here). The Internet Society will be working on a submission and would welcome any thoughts or insights from its members.

ISOC strongly believes the WSIS+10 Review process needs to be open to all stakeholders.  We commend the UN on opening up this comments process to non-government entities and we hope to continue to see this level of openness throughout the remainder of the process.

What happens next?

The document will be reworked into a "zero draft" by the end of September and then discussed during the second WSIS+10 Informal Interactive Stakeholder Consultations to be held in New York on 19 October 2015. 

= > Please note that the registration closes tomorrow, 11 September, 17:00EDT. If you are considering attending the October meeting, register urgently here.

ISOC is currently shaping a new policy fellowship program to promote further engagement in the WSIS consultations, and event registration will be needed as a formal requirement. More on the fellowship from my colleague Raquel Gatto soon!
Best regards,

Constance
