An Inventory of Policy Positions and Practical Guidance

ICC provides a global focal point for our members from around the world to develop policy positions and practice tools for policy decision-makers, business users, and all users. The EBITT Commission members from all geographies and sectors have pooled their experiences and perspectives to develop the consensus built positions and recommendations contained in this inventory. The recommendations are based on extensive consultation among business experts.

ICC policy documents go through a rigorous vetting by ICC national committees and members in 130 countries, and thus reflect a wide range of business opinion.

ICC recognizes the importance of having the right policy framework in place to maximize the potential of these technologies and mediums as engines of economic growth and social development. Bringing the benefits of the Internet and ICTs to more people from around the world is an objective shared by all stakeholders---governments, business, civil society and the technical community. We complement the policy work by providing practical means for business to improve their operations, and for governments to address key issues.

This inventory aims to provide a brief description of the issues, where they are being addressed and a synopsis of the ICC positions and recommendations. For more detail, the reader can consult the full length policy statements and practice toolkits on a given topic. This inventory will help governments, businesses and consumers to do their part in making the most of ICTs, the Internet and the Information Society.
