appropriate. Ultimately, CITEL will highlight security standards of particular importance and recommend that Member States endorse those standards. It is also important to highlight the crucial role of CITEL in promoting capacity building and training programs so as to advance the process of spreading technical and practical information related to cybersecurity issues. CITEL recognizes that, although the first priority must focus on public policies which will bring the benefits of telecommunications and information technologies to all citizens of the OAS Member States, strengthening the private/public partnership that will result in the wide scale adoption of a framework of technical standards that help secure the Internet will require communication and cooperation among and within the communities that are stakeholders in this partnership. CITEL will foster cooperation among Member States on aspects related to network security by helping Administrations adopt policies and practices that encourage network and service providers to implement technical standards for secure networks. The new edition of the Blue Book – “Telecommunications Policies for the Americas”, a joint publication of CITEL and ITU, will include a chapter on cybersecurity. CITEL will also foster dialogue within the relevant technical and governmental communities regarding work on network and cyber security through joint seminars with the ITU on Security standards. The actions of CITEL may also include matters relating to telecommunications policies, practices, regulations, economic aspects and the responsibilities of the users, all within the legal framework within which the telecommunications services operates, and within the duties and responsibilities of CITEL.
