Report on WSIS for Policy Dev.

NEW ZEALAND -- This report is prepared by a small group of New Zealanders that attended WSIS in Geneva in December 2003. It is based on the experiences they saw as best practice and applicable to New Zealand.

This report is structured into the following 3 basic areas as requested by the Minister.

1. Economic efficiency and development with ICT
2. Social/community development, digital divide, digital opportunities
3. Safety, Trust and Security.

They are preceded by some general comments that display the cross cutting nature of ICTs to deliver effective change in many aspects of society

The underlying theme this report is the gaining of accelerated diffusion of ICT throughout NZ to effect transformational change.

Many indicators are showing that New Zealand is not at international best practice in diffusion of ICTs and anecdotal evidence from WSIS and other international contacts also confirms this.
