The ICT4Peace project's overview of such a broad field was unprecedented. Political leverage was gained by exposure and examination through the WSIS process. The WSIS process was invaluable in building a wider network of contacts and creating exposure for these activities. Looking at peace and conflict issues through the prism of ICT, several areas were identified, where the leadership, expertise and advocacy provided by the Community of Expertise is essential. The community will therefore have to focus the work on those areas with a clear priority, not duplicating existing efforts, and provide a supporting role for organizations working in these areas.
The activities of the ICT4Peace project will focus on targeted networking and research projects towards policy development and advocacy.
The networking will be done both formally through meetings prepared in coordination with other organisations, and informally through personal contacts and internet-based communications. The research will focus on outstanding ICT issues faced by workers in peace and humanitarian operations, and the policy proposals and pilot projects confronting these issues.
In particular the ICT4Peace process has identified that a serious obstacle preventing the development of good practice is the communication gap between workers in the field, and between this group and policy makers at headquarters level.
Another catalytic role that is currently missing is that of encouraging and advising academic research, as well as teaching and training in ICT4Peace, and engaging in dialogue with the private sector about its possible involvement in ICT4Peace area. It may also be possible to learn a lesson from the private sector, and aim to raise seed funding for the sponsorship and incubation of novel projects that other organisations can not fund and pilot due to operational constraints.
Some of the envisaged outputs/deliverables will include among others the following items:

• Further inventory and categorization of the actors in the field of ICT4Peace. A great deal has already been achieved in this regard, but further work on a continuous basis is a condition sine qua non for a comprehensive and authoritative
• contribution to networking and research activities. Entities and individuals that will be included are Governments, Intergovernmental Organisations, NGOs, Civil Society Organisations, business companies, academic institutions, media organizations and individuals. Special attention will be given to the operational actors in the field as well as those at the HQ policy- and decision-making levels, suppliers of equipment, software and service, providers of ICT4Peace websites etc.

• Policy Outreach, awareness creation, networking in the field of ICT4Peace
• Creation of a High Level Expert Group on ICT4Peace
• Research programme based on the recommendations of the ICT4Peace report
• Organisation of a high level international Conference to discuss and validate research outcome ending with specific operational and policy recommendations.
• Deployment of the High Level Expert Group members, Government representatives and key decision-makers as well as high level personalities from NGOs and Business to turn UN, Governments, IGOs' attention to policies developed through this process and get their support.
• Academic outreach and cooperation + development of teaching modules in the the field of ICT 4Peace

In order to achieve the overall objectives, there is a need and a demand for policy and outreach, awareness creation and networking in the field of ICT4Peace. This will be done in one-to-one meetings with key actors and decision-makers from Governments, IGOs, NGOs and Civil Society, Business and Media, and through participation in international conferences, panels, workshops, etc.
