The 2019 session of Council instructed the Secretary-General, in parallel, to submit to the next Council session (1) a report explaining how the ITU is currently utilizing the Global Cybersecurity Agenda (GCA) framework and (2) with the involvement of Member States, appropriate guidelines developed for utilization of the GCA by the ITU for Council's consideration and approval (C19/117, C19/58). Pursuant to these instructions, the draft Guidelines have been formulated with the support of Chief Judge (Ret.) Stein Schjolberg (former HLEG Chair) and with the involvement of Member States, for consideration and approval by Council. It is important to note that this effort is not meant to and will not address matters related to the revision of the GCA. As per the process for developing the draft Guidelines, set out in Circular Letter (CL-20/18), an Open Consultation was held for all WSIS stakeholders on 23 April 2020 to provide comments on the draft Guidelines.
