<P class=MsoNormal style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><SPAN lang=EN-US>This month, UNESCO is launching a year-long programme of consultation to develop a set of Internet Universality indicators, covering these four fundamental norms and the cross-currents between them. These indicators will help governments and other stakeholders to assess their own national Internet environments, and to promote the values associated with Internet Universality. There will be a mix of quantitative and qualitative indicators. Special attention will be paid to gender and to the needs and interests of children and young people. Work on the project to define Internet Universality indicators is being led for UNESCO by the Association for Progressive Communications (APC). <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><SPAN lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><SPAN lang=EN-US>An online consultation on the overall principles for Internet Universality indicators will be launched at the WSIS Forum in June. It will be followed by a consultation of draft indicators later in the year. UNESCO and APC hope that as many stakeholders as possible will take part in these consultations.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
