All,<br>
<br>
I ask consideration of the following text for inclusion in the
Education part.<br>
I am open to editing.<br>
<br>
I already submitted this under a different section, but it does not <br>
conform to the structure of the document and has been dropped.<br>
<br>
I think it is most closely associated with the Education and Research
section.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

(2)Role of CS in evolving the production of ICT: <br>
<br>
So as to encourage
social responsible evolution of information societies post-WSIS, the
consultative and implementation processes of the ongoing CS mechanism
make a proactive bi-lateral engagement between professional and
academic communities most directly involved in the research,
production, and design of ICT and constituencies. In addition, the CS
mechanism will include as a part of its research function,
community-based education and capacity-building in ICT design and
development issues. CS will encourage support from all sectors for
research and policies that improve the development of ICT for
communities. CS will support an evolving set of ICT production
principles, including:
<br>
<br>
(a)Socially-aware design: The conception, design and use of ICT
must originate from awareness of the social context in which they are
to be used. <br>
<br>
(b)Anti-technophilia and anti-tecnofetishism: CS will not
assume that digital or advanced ICT are the best solution to all
problems. It will encourage the view that designers must be open to
non-technical solutions to problems as well as solutions that make use
of older ICT where appropriate;
<br>
<br>
(c)Universal design: the design of ICT such that they can be used
by the widest set of users, including: those with physical and
cognitive disabilities, accounting for linguistic diversity; and
accounting for other barriers.
<br>
(d)Participatory design, implementation, and operation: ICT should
be designed, created, and used through continous involvement of the
user community. (e)Capacity building: Communities must develop their
own capacity to design, create, and operate their own ICT. This
includes the capacity to apply principles (2) (a) and (b) above.<br>
