The UN Commission on Science and Technology for Development (CSTD) is holding an open consultation as part of its five-year review of implementation and follow-up to the World Summit on the Information Society.  CSTD was given the responsibility for reviewing WSIS outcomes at the Summit, on behalf of the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).
        
Questions cover three main areas:
        a.       where there has been more or less progress in implementing WSIS outcomes;
        b.       what new Information Society themes and issues have emerged since the Summit ended in 2005, and what implications they have for the future; and
        c.       priorities for the next five years.
               
        The consultation and questionnaire can be found at http://www.unctad.info/en/CSTD_WSIS5. The closing date for submissions is 14 December.
