Today, the 3rd preparatory consultation for the second WSIS+10 Review meeting closed with some developments on the review process. Pending the official UN General Assembly decision on the modalities of the WSIS+10 Review process, expected for end of March 2014, ITU announced new dates and locations for the second WSIS+10 Review meeting in 2014 and for its preparatory process.

On 17 February 2014 at ITU in Geneva, at the opening of the 3^rd preparatory meeting for the ITU hosted WSIS+10 Review meeting, Mr Touré, Secretary-General of ITU, congratulated UNESCO on its report reviewing its WSIS action. Mr Touré also announced that:
Only with this third meeting participants finished with the first reading of the more than 20 documents, prepared for adoption at the second WSIS+10 Review meeting to be held next June. While a number of participants called for producing more succinct text, agreement on wording was often difficult to find and the entire text remains open for input and changes at this point. More information on the process and how to contribute can be found here.
With regards to the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) work, it was announced that Mr Janis Karklins, who led UNESCO’s Communication and Information Sector until December 2013, has been appointed by UNDESA to the Interim Chair of the 2014 IGF and of the Open Consultations and MAG meetings for the 2014 process.
