<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">UNESCO CONSULTATION
ON INDICATORS FOR INTERNET UNIVERSALITY: INVITATION TO
CONTRIBUTE (DEADLINE 31 OCTOBER)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">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.<o:p></o:p></p>

inviting contributions to the project can be found in six
languages at the following websites:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
