• Some Member States have proposed the use of a common standard survey of national implementation. In this regard, Mexico and Australia are jointly leading an effort to propose the use of a common standard survey of national implementation, that can further be used to identify gaps and barriers to implementation, which could then better inform future cooperation, more focused training programmes and tailored capacity building. The proposal to be submitted is already co-sponsored by Argentina, Canada, Chile, Denmark, France, Indonesia, Kenya, New Zealand, Pacific Island Forum Member States, Poland, and South Africa, and will be open to further co-sponsorship by interested States. • Member States highlighted the importance of match-making between capacity-building requests and offers, which could be a key component of a global mechanism. Furthermore, effective and enhanced coherence can also result from the acknowledgement of tailor-made capacity building that is responsive to different national and regional situations. • Taking into consideration the undeniable need to work hand-in-hand with all stakeholders, an additional recommendation should be introduced to ensure constant feedback with the private sector, civil society, and academia, in whatever format the regular institutional dialogue on cybersecurity might occur. • An informal early warning system could also be established to aid Member States in promptly identifying cyber-attacks that could spill over to other countries, share experiences in identifying common patterns of attacks, and in general to foster confidence among Member States. • An additional recommendation can also be introduced to ensure that the efforts undertaken by Member States are adequately linked and are coherent with the specific actions (28, 30 and 31) on cybersecurity proposed by the Secretary General’s Agenda for Disarmament. * * * * * 4
