The First Regional Action Plan for the Information Society in Latin America and the Caribbean (eLAC2007), with its 30 goals and 70 lines of action, was drafted in 2005 by 33 countries in the region following the World Summits on the Information Society in Geneva (2003) and Tunis (2005). The Regional Plan reduced and adapted the 167 goals in the global plan produced in Tunis to the specific needs of Latin America and the Caribbean. - From 2005-2007, eLAC2007 helped the region make significant progress towards a more integral development of its information societies. Monitoring of the Regional Plan revealed that the region as a whole made acceptable to strong progress in 15 of the 27 quantifiable goals, with only moderate to insufficient progress in the remaining 12.
- Since 2006, a long and thorough consultation process with nearly 1500 government, academic, private sector and civil society experts through online surveys, interviews, etc., has been carried out in order to reevaluate and realign the objectives of eLAC2007 and works towards a second regional plan, eLAC2010. The plan, (a draft version known as the San Salvador Commitment can be found at http://www.elac2007.org.sv/en/doc.php) will cover the second period in the eLAC process until 2015.
- On February 6-8, 2008 in San Salvador, El Salvador, high level officials will meet at the Regional Ministerial Conference about the Information Society in Latin America and the Caribbean to evaluate successes and challenges in the development of the information society in the region and draft the final version of eLAC2010 to help steer the course of the information society in LAC in the years to come.
