e) With regard to regular institutional dialogue, affirming that the increasing dependency on ICTs and the
scope of threats stemming from their misuse necessitates urgent action to enhance common
understandings and intensify cooperation through multilateral discussions, the OEWG recommends that:
The 76th session of the General Assembly of the United Nations convene a new open-ended
working group of the General Assembly acting on a consensus basis to continue the consideration
of developments in the field of information and telecommunications in the context of
international security.
States be encouraged to consider establishing sponsorship programmes and other support
mechanisms to ensure broad participation. States in a position to support such programmes and
mechanisms are encouraged to do so.
The 76th Session of the General Assembly of the United Nations also consider requesting the
Secretary-General to establish a new group of governmental experts.
