I thought we might be the kind of organization UNESCO would like to hear 
from. Anyone want to help me fill in this survey?

Dear All:

UNESCO CONSULTATION ON INDICATORS FOR INTERNET UNIVERSALITY: INVITATION 
TO CONTRIBUTE (DEADLINE 31 OCTOBER)

As you know, UNESCO is holding a consultation on its work to develop 
indicators for Internet Universality.  This consultation is open until 
31 October, and I am writing (on behalf of the consortium responsible 
for developing indictor proposals) to ask if you could encourage members 
of ICANN’s networks to contribute to it.

UNESCO's Internet Universality framework is built around four core 
themes in Internet development, which are concerned with Rights, 
Openness, Access and Multistakeholder Participation (the R-O-A-M 
principles).  The indicators which are to be developed will be used to 
assess progress towards an Internet which is consistent with the R-O-A-M 
principles at national and international levels.

Work to develop the indicators is being led by the Association for 
Progressive Communications, together with research partners from four 
continents (Research ICT Africa, LIRNEasia, DIRSI and ict Development 
Associates).  Particular attention is being paid, within the R-O-A-M 
framework, to indicators concerned with gender inclusion and the 
inclusion of children and young people.

UNESCO, APC and its partners are keen to ensure that as many 
stakeholders as possible contribute to the development of these 
indicators. Stakeholder contributions are vital to ensuring that the 
indicators meet the needs and concerns of the whole Internet community.

A questionnaire inviting contributions to the project can be found in 
six languages at the following websites:

We very much hope that you will contribute and will encourage your 
member-organisations and supporters to do so too. That will help to 
ensure that the indicator framework which emerges will be of greater 
value to all members of the Internet community. The closing date for 
contributions is 31 October.

If you do circulate to your networks, it would be really helpful if you 
could let us know that you have done so.

Many thanks for your help.  We look forward to reading your inputs and 
those from your networks.

*And please note UNESCO is leading a session on Internet Universality 
Indicators at ICANN60 on Saturday October 28 from 13:30*
