Dear all,

We would like to bring to your attention that UNESCO has launched a 
consultation to prepare for the WSIS+10 Review.

UNESCO has asked us to raise awareness about this process and to share 
this information with our Members. Detailed explanations on the 
consultation and how to contribute are available at the end of this note.

The Internet Society is preparing a contribution and is considering 
proposing that the main theme of the Review be an "Open Internet". We 
would also like to emphasize the need to have a fully multi-stakeholder 
preparatory process, involving all communities. We would very much 
welcome your thoughts and insights on this topic.

Thank you and best regards,

--

Director, Public Policy

Subject: Join online discussions to prepare jointly the first WSIS+10 
review event (Until 29 October)

Dear WSIS KC members,

In cooperation with ITU, UNDP and UNCTAD, UNESCO is hosting the first 
review multistakeholder WSIS+10 event "Towards Knowledge Societies for 
Peace and Sustainable Development" that will take place at UNESCO 
Headquarters, Paris, France, from 25-27 February 2013. This 
multistakeholder and high-level event will bring governments, civil 
society, the private sector and international organizations together on 
key knowledge societies topics; we will review WSIS developments, 
discuss current and future knowledge society trends and formulate 
post-2015 recommendations

The second phase of the open consultations is now launched at the WSIS 
Knowledge Communities (WSIS KC - www.wsis-community.org). You are 
invited to contribute to online discussions on themes, format and the 
process leading to the 2013 WSIS+10 review event until 29 October by 
clicking:
http://www.wsis-community.org/pg/forum/topic/583571/what-are-your-views-on-key-topics-the-preparatory-process-and-format-for-the-upcoming-2013-wsis10-review-event-background-info-below/.

We are requesting your ideas and input on
A) Themes:
1. Key recent trends (social networking etc.-best relevant for many 
Action Lines) -- and how these trends should best be discussed/addressed 
at this meeting (see 3.)

2. Key future knowledge and sustainable development trends
B) Format, for example:

3. How can above themes best be addressed in a cross-cutting manner, 
bringing together different Action Lines on key topics?
C) Process leading to the 2013 event:

4. In the context of scarce budgets, how can we still best facilitate 
the contributions and input from different stakeholders to the 
preparatory process and to the 2013 event, including of the most 
marginalized?

Please share your ideas in this event!
