APC Launches Guide to Running a National ICT Policy Consultation for the
World Summit on the Information Society

The upcoming World Summit on the Information Society is a great learning
opportunity for civil society organisations that are new to the ICT
policy process to begin to articulate positions and gain valuable
experience in lobbying that can be taken back to their home countries.

"But How Do We Start Working At National Level?"

The APC guide "FAQ about Conducting a National WSIS Process" outlines
the steps to take and key components in organising a national
consultation around ICT policy. The "question & answer" format homes in
on some of the key questions we have heard people ask about how to
organise. The primary target audience is people that are active in using
or promoting the use of ICTs in their work, but who have not necessarily
been involved in national level policy processes previously.

"We find this is true of many ICT oriented organisations who tend to be
hands on, providing training, support, and content," said APC Executive
Director, Anriette Esterhuysen. "Working at the policy level can be
quite intimidating. Our goal is to provide encouragement and support so
that ICT CSOs can build the confidence to raise their voices in policy
discussions." Find out more about the "FAQ about Conducting a National
WSIS Process".
