COMNET-IT '95
WORKSHOP REPORT APPENDIX B
Priorities of
the workshop Participants
Priorities of the workshop Participants
The Computer support system allowed
for the polling of the participants to determine their views of
the priorities of the issues facing the Commonwealth countries in
the development of IT policies and strategies. The following are
the results of the polling. It was agreed, in the ensuing discussion,
that while there might be some variation in priorities as a result
of the workshop deliberations, the highest priority, Human Resources
Development, would likely remain the most important issue to be
addressed.
