The Caribbean ICT Roadshow is proposed to be held from June 2009 to November2010 under the auspices of the Member States of the CTU and supported by national, regional and international ICT institutions and organisations. The American Registry of Internet Names and numbers (ARIN), Congress WBN (C-WBN), The Latin America & Caribbean Internet Addresses Registry (LACNIC), Packet Clearing House (PCH), The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) are partners of the CTU in this initiative.
The Roadshow is designed to be educational and is structured to enable interactive participation and the free exchange of ideas, knowledge and experiences from all sectors and stakeholders of the Caribbean national citizenry.
Each national event is held over a period of two and a half days and will include key aspects of ICT development in industry, regulatory environment, government and civil society. The programme consists of
- lectures,
- technology demonstrations,
- hands-on workshops,
- case studies,
- showcase of ICT innovation,
- youth-focused programs and
- stakeholder consultations.
The CTU is working in partnership with stakeholders in respective Caribbean countries to customize the event to meet the priority needs of the host country. Select sessions will also be video recorded for re-broadcast at other country stops and for publication on appropriate regional portals as a publicly-accessible resource.
Management Plan
Coordination of all aspects of the Caribbean ICT Roadshow will be done by the CTU Secretariat based in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago. The CTU has demonstrated capabilities and prior experience in such work and will co-opt expertise as might be required from among its membership and partners. Financial management of subventions and expenditures related to the seminar will be directly controlled on a continuous basis by the CTU’s accounting and administrative staff.
