The World Summit on the Information Society - WSIS
The UN General Assembly, on 21 December 2001, adopted a Resolution endorsing the organization of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS), to be convened under the patronage of the United Nations Secretary-General, Kofi Annan, with the International Telecommunication Union taking the lead role in its preparation along with interested UN organizations and the host countries.
The World Summit on the Information Society will be held in two phases: in Geneva from 10-12 December 2003 and in Tunis in 2005.

The Summit will address the broad range of questions concerning the Information Society and move towards a common vision and understanding of this societal transformation. The Summit is expected to adopt a Declaration of Principles and an Action Plan to facilitate the effective growth of the Information Society and to help bridge the Digital Divide. It aims to bring together representatives from the highest levels of government, the private sector, civil society and NGOs. It will offer a unique opportunity for the world community to discuss and give shape to the Information Society. More information can be obtained from.
