fyi: today Ecosoc adopted the CSTD Resolution on WSIS, which includes some useful language for wsis+20, e.g.:
132. Highlights the role of the United Nations Group on the Information Society in coordinating the implementation of the outcomes of the World Summit, and recommends, as an outcome of the World Summit 20-year review, strengthening its functioning by including further United Nations offices with responsibilities in
matters of digital cooperation, as well as multi-stakeholder advice on its work, as appropriate;
133. Recommends further that, as an outcome of the World Summit 20-year
review, the United Nations Group on the Information Society be tasked with
developing a joint implementation road map, to be presented to the Commission on
Science and Technology for Development at its twenty-ninth session, to integrate the
Global Digital Compact commitments into the World Summit architecture, ensuring
a unified approach to digital cooperation that avoids duplication and maximizes
resource efficiency;
134. Highlights, in this regard, the well-established role of the Commission on
Science and Technology for Development as an intergovernmental platform for discussions on the impact and opportunities of technologies for the achievement of
the Sustainable Development Goals, and calls for a strengthening of the Commission
as an outcome of the World Summit 20-year review;
135. Emphasizes the role of the Commission on Science and Technology for
Development in the follow-up and review process of the Global Digital Compact and
the need for ensuring the strongest possible convergence between the implementation
of the World Summit outcomes and the Compact to avoid duplication and enhance
synergies, efficiencies and thereby impact;
