learning and communication methods, including e-learning, online discussions and video
conferencing, was one of the main priorities in further improving the services the POLIS
system can offer.
Specifically, TNTD/CC provided online support for the permanent online forum of the Border
Security and Management National Focal Point Network. It also set up and developed a
forum for the Expert Discussion on PC.DEC/1106, regarding the initial set of CBM to reduce
the risks of conflict stemming from the use of information and communication technologies.
Another online forum was established as a repository of TNT-related activities of OSCE field
operations, which has been made available to the TNTD as well as to all TNT Focal Points in
field operations. This online forum is regularly updated by TNTD/CC and serves as a
collection point for material to be published in the POLIS Digital Library and for TNTD’s
information-dissemination efforts through its “TNT Field Activity Quarterly Report”.
Moreover, throughout 2014, the POLIS team successfully employed online video
conferencing to communicate with POLIS focal points in OSCE field operations, which
allowed for another cost-effective way to identify and collect relevant material for
dissemination through POLIS.
Finally, TNTD/CC’s POLIS team, at the request of the Border Management Staff College in
Dushanbe (BMSC), prepared and delivered a lecture on cyber security and cybercrimerelated threats to students at the BMSC Educational Event in Vienna, held in December
2014.
