EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The text is divided into three Working Modules: 1. The first Module offers a brief theoretical framework which provides definitions of the main concepts used in this work and identifies the existing information on national information society policies: relevant documents in the field of information society planning, legislation, policies and declarations; diverse countries’ expertise in the field of information society planning and legislation (explicit national digital agendas, national, regional and local information society policies, national and regional legislative measures, etc.); and relevant international documents in the field of information society planning, legislation, policies and declarations. It also describes briefly the diverse legal, economic, social, and technological contexts regarding an information society, as well as explicit national, regional, and/or local information society policies, either general or specific for given sectors (egovernment, e-inclusion, e-education, e-health, etc.). 2. The second Module is a concrete guideline methodology, a Template for the development of national information society policies and legislation, so that the diverse social actors (governments, enterprises, NGOs, or other organizations) involved in creating, implementing, and updating agendas to develop these policies may have access to the existing information, methodologies, existing examples, processes, mechanisms, and information sources. The Template includes three main phases: the starting point or formulation of a NISP; the implementation of the NISP; and the monitoring and adaptation/updating of the NISP. This methodology is intended to be dynamic, flexible, and adaptable to countries with diverse development levels. Moreover, diverse activities are suggested so that the individuals and groups entrusted with the formulation of the NISP may check if they have taken all the necessary steps to complete their work. The Module also includes a general bibliography. 3. Finally, the third Module is a wide-reaching glossary of the terms and expressions used currently regarding information society policies and strategies. This Glossary also provides sources of information and links to relevant Websites related to these issues. The work is complemented by an ANNEX: a list of the most used acronyms. Three fundamental goals of a NISP could be summed up as follows: The work is complemented by an ANNEX: a list of the most used acronyms.
