CISP agreed to forward the document for declassification by the Committee for Information, Computer and Communications Policy (ICCP). The ICCP Committee agreed to make the report public in March 2010. The report was prepared by Mr. Hyun-Cheol CHUNG of the OECD’s Directorate for Science, Technology and Industry.
