World Summit on Information Society (WSIS): 'Connecting the World'
source: ITU press release
26.Sep.03 - The Summit breaks new ground with a multi-stakeholder approach. PrepCom3
introduced a format for the Summit that provides for unprecedented
stakeholder participation. Representatives of stakeholder groups will
participate with Head of States and Governments at roundtable sessions and
will have an opportunity to report directly to the Plenary about their
Summit-related activities.
"The importance of communications and access to networks is no longer just a
technical matter, but a fundamental policy goal for every nation", said Mr
Yoshio Utsumi, Secretary-General of ITU.
Adama Samassékou, President of the Preparatory Committee, asked the
participants to move from "input to impact" in working towards the
construction of a real "world summit of solidarity".
Some 1,600 delegates from UN Member States, intergovernmental organizations,
civil society, the private sector and media attended PrepCom3.
