The Study: Summary Report of 200 Responses Received to the Online Questionnaire Consultation
Following UNESCO’s launch of a global questionnaire during July-December 2014 to collect inputs and research from a range of stakeholders on internet study, almost 200 responses and submissions were received which provide diverse and substantial inputs in the areas of access to information and knowledge, freedom of expression, privacy, and ethical dimensions of the information society as well as options for future actions.
The questionnaire consultation consists of two components: a global consultation through UNESCO website with 95 valid responses submitted and a regional pilot one in the Latin America through a portal website of Observacom with 102 questionnaires completed.
The full report is available here.
