[council] UN - ICT Task Force Working Group Document on ICANN
Hi! :) This document will be discussing between ICANN and the UN - ICT Task Force. Some one have contact with the UN ICT representantive in each region ?? I think each constituency have something to say !!! It suggests a three pronged strategy that would include: - The creation of a cross-constituency committee led by the UN-ICT Taskforce (in partnership with ICANN) that would provide a set of structural recommendation towards improved developing nations participation (as well as possibly manage a travel-fund); - Support by the UN-ICT Taskforce towards the creation of AfriNIC, an African regional registry, that would provide for increased technical capacity as well as more decision power within ICANN; - The creation of regional outreach centers or networks based upon the existence of the regional UN-ICT Taskforce networks; Priorities: " Increasing awareness among developing-country stakeholders regarding the importance of ICANN for ICT policy making; " Strengthening the technical and policy-making capacity of developing-nation stakeholders within ICANN; " Providing easy and affordable access to timely information about key ICT-related issues on the agenda of ICANN; " Overcoming financial and other barriers impeding developing-country stakeholders from participating in ICANN; " Fostering multi-stakeholder engagement in the search for and implementation of solutions that enable inclusive DNS policymaking; and " Promoting equity enhancing mechanisms and the lowering of access barriers within ICANN.
