The 2019 session of the 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). The report explaining how the ITU is currently utilizing the Global Cybersecurity Agenda (GCA) framework (C21/71) was presented and noted by the Virtual Consultation of Councillors 2021 (C21/VCC-1). The draft Guidelines were formulated with the support of Chief Judge (Ret.) Stein Schjolberg (former HLEG Chair), Prof. Solange Ghernaouti and Mr Noboru Nakatani, and with the involvement of Member States and other WSIS stakeholders over several rounds of consultations between 2020-2022. The final version of the Guidelines (C22/32 (Rev.2)) was approved by Council 2022. The Council also agreed to transmit the Guidelines to the 2022 Plenipotentiary Conference for consideration. Please note that supporting information for the Guidelines is contained in Information Document (C22/INF/8).
