    e-TALANOA www.spc.int Issue 2 — 2010 elcome to the second edition of e-talanoa. WThe first edition focused on the outcomes of the Pacific ICT Ministers meeting (2010) and the endorsed Framework for Action on ICT for Development in the Pacific (ICT framework). In this edition, we provide an update on the efforts in implementing the ministerial decisions and some key developments in the ICT sector in the Pacific region. As you may know, the ICT framework outlines seven themes for action aimed at effectively utilising ICT for sustainable development, governance, and improving the livelihood of Pacific communities. From this edition onward, we will report back on the efforts in implementing the ICT framework under the seven themes of the ICT framework. This should make it easier to relate and link activities to individual strategies within a theme and in particular to measure the progress against identified milestones and targets.

  • PICISOC Paper
    Paper Series 2.3 Attachment 7 Information Communication Technology Section 2003–2005 Triennial Progress Report 1. INTRODUCTION AND HIGHLIGHTS The goal for the Information Communication Technology (ICT) Section is “improved information and communication capacity” in SPC and Pacific Islands countries and territories (PICTs). Its first and primary objective is “sustained, high-quality ICT services in support of SPC programmes”. The second objective is “enhanced information and communication services in PICTs”. This paper reports on progress against the defined outputs of the ICT Strategic Plan (2003–2005). In conjunction with discussions with stakeholders, this review will also inform the development of the next strategic plan for the section. Progress over the plan period has been good, as this report will demonstrate. Significant achievements include the following: • High-quality services to SPC programmes were not only sustained but improved, despite a 20 per cent increase in the total number of SPC staff. • Internet bandwidth for the organisation has quadrupled, with two redundancy routes. • SPC has also quadrupled the speed of its communication link between its offices in Noumea and Suva. • Large savings have been achieved by using Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology. Virtually all phone calls between Noumea and Suva are now routed via SPC’s private network, at no extra cost to the organisation. • Videoconferencing is now possible between the two main SPC sites and is heavily used for programme discussions, management meetings, interviews and consultations with partner- agency staff. • Better communication links between the two main sites have made possible the full integration of ICT support services (e.g.

Matters arising: (this became our agenda) 1. Action item1 – Anju and Andrew will review and update the current Hosting Requirements for PacINET and then send the new Version 4 to the other members of the Board for amendment/approval.

Members will be notified of this document currently being reviewed. 2. Action item2 – Andrew will contact NICTA and inform them of the PacINET Hosting Guidelines on which they can base their Expression of Interest to hold a PacINET In PNG – possibly at the second half of 2020 or in the beginning of 2021. Other business 3. PacINET or PacIGF co-locating with APTLD in Fiji – this possibility is being investigated by Keith Davidson and Save Vocea. We are still awaiting confirmation on this. 4. UN eGov Meeting in Incheon, Korea – Anju and Andrew are attending this meeting of eGov experts in Korea. Suggested resources that they should take: a.

Total budget approved $30,000 AUD Project summary This project will catalogue demand, commercial arrangements, infrastructure, policies, and monopolies throughout the Pacific. It will educate stakeholders on the commercial, technical, and performance issues around overseas interconnections. The strategy proposed will help stakeholders to solve their own problems. The strategy is unlikely to call for peering in every country; few Island nations have the traffic to support them. It will instead try to inform stakeholders how regional cooperation can be of benefit to all.

Maureen Hilyard: President, Cook Islands Internet Action Group; Chair, At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC, ICANN); Chair, DotAsia Board of Directors; Member, Pacific Islands Chapter of the Internet Society (PICISOC); Member of the Public Interest Registry (.org) Advisory Committee (PIRAC); Diplo Foundation IG Graduate. Pacific DC-SIDS reported to the DC-SIDS session of the VIRTUAL Global IGF, 6 November 2020. 1. COVID-19 forced many in the Pacific and no doubt other SIDS to adapt to working from home and using the Internet more than they have done before for both work and general communication. The PICISOC mailing list became very much more a means of connecting with others across the Pacific 2. The only face to face activities took place in Melbourne in February. They included the AGM of the APTLD with whom PICISOC signed an MOU during their meeting. Other events occurring in Melbourne at the same time and attended by other Pacific members were the APRICOT/APNIC meeting and the meeting of the Oceania Cyber Security Centre. Following on from this latter gathering, Cherie Lagakali was appointed to the Advisory Committee of the Global Forum of Cyber Expertise (GFCE) and is developing a regional hub in the Pacific. 3. Security was also raised as an issue within Vanuatu especially in the areas of data protection, the security framework and cybersecurity legislation.
