Dear members,

The outcome document of the United Nations General Assembly’s ten-year
review of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) in 2015

Technology for Development (CSTD) to "establish a working group to
develop recommendations on how to further implement enhanced
cooperation as envisioned in the Tunis Agenda” .
This will continue work done by an earlier CSTD Working Group on
Enhanced Cooperation, that was active from 2013-2014. and current CSTD
Chair, Peter Major of Hungary, has indicated that he will establish
the new working group in a similar fashion, with 20 UN Member States
and 5 representatives from each of the four identified stakeholder
groups (business, civil society, intergovernmental organizations, the
technical & academic community).

Independent Civil Society experts (i.e. those who are not nominated by
a civil society network or other community are welcome to send
self-nominations directly to the CSCG nomcom (email address:
