This is to bring your attention to the Open Call to Identify High Level Track Facilitators from Civil Society for the High-level Policy Sessions for WSIS Forum 2017. This format of HLTFs was really appreciated last year as it gave a chance for stakeholders to interact better with ministers and other high levels.
At the WSIS Forum 2017, the High-Level Policy Sessions of the High-level Track (HLT) will take place on the 13 and 14 June.
The Policy Sessions will be moderated by High-Level Track Facilitators (HLTF) nominated and identified by each stakeholder type i.e Government, Private Sector, Civil Society, Technical/ Academic community and International Organization.
Please note that all HLTFs are to cover their own expenses for travel, accommodation and insurance. The main task of the HLTF is to capture the vision, identify emerging trends, opportunities and challenges shared by the leaders of their session.
The concluding session of the HLT will take place on the 14 of June. During the concluding session of the HLT the WSIS Forum 2017 Chairman will provide an Executive Summary, giving a platform for all the HLTFs to submit the outcomes of their respective policy session. These will be captured in a publication entitled “WSIS Forum 2017: Policy Statements and Executive Brief”.
