CSTD Working Group on Enhanced Cooperation: 4th Meeting

25 Sep 2017 - 27 Sep 2017

Geneva, Switzerland

The fourth meeting of the Working Group on Enhanced Cooperation (WGEC) of the United Nations Commission on Science and Technology for Development (CSTD) will be held on 25–27 September 2017, in Geneva, Switzerland.

The WGEC was established on the basis of the UN General Assembly Resolution A/70/125 (the outcome document of the review of the ten-year implementation of the World Summit on the Information Society), with the aim to develop recommendations on how to further implement enhanced cooperation on public policy issues pertaining to the Internet, as envisioned in the Tunis Agenda for the Information Society, taking into consideration the work that has been done on this matter. The resolution also requested the group to decide at the outset of its working methods, and to ensure the full involvment of all relevant stakeholders, taking into account all their views and expertise. 

The group, whose composition was announced in May 2016, is expected to report to the 21st session of the CSTD in 2018.
