Following the public consultation, ARTCI will analyze all contributions received and publish all responses submitted to it, along with a summary report outlining the main observations of stakeholders. This report will serve as the basis for the final adoption of the guidelines governing the implementation of net neutrality in Côte d’Ivoire.
To this end, contributors are asked to list in a specifically designated appendix any information they consider to be covered by trade secrets. In addition, any points or paragraphs in their responses that pertain to information covered by trade secrets must be highlighted in “bold” and “red.”
In the interest of transparency, contributors are asked to limit as much as possible the passages covered by trade secrets. ARTCI reserves the right to declassify information that, by its nature, does not constitute a trade secret.
