Consultation Workshop Ended On Positive Note
July 27, 2010
The Region is one step closer to enhancing competitiveness through the harmonization of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) policies, legislation and regulatory procedures after a four-day workshop in St. Kitts and Nevis, last week.
Representatives from St. Kitts and Nevis and 14 other countries participated in the consultation workshop, organized by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) as part of the HIPCAR project designed to support ICT development.
The delegates reviewed Information Society issues dealing specifically to Privacy and Data Collection, Cybercrime and Access to Public Information.
At the end of the workshop a draft model and legislative texts were produced which should be presented to Heads of Governments later this year to be reviewed, debated and eventually passed into law.
