Thank you! ================================================================== 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."
