Origins of the WGIG
The first phase of World
Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) agreed to pursue
the dialogue on Internet Governance in the Declaration
of Principles and Action Plan adopted on 12 December 2003,
with a view to preparing the ground for a decision at the
second phase of the WSIS in Tunis in November 2005. In this
regard, the first phase of the Summit requested the United
Nations Secretary-General to establish a Working Group on
Internet Governance (WGIG). The WGIG was asked to
present the result of its work in a report "for
consideration and appropriate action for the second phase of
the WSIS in Tunis 2005." More

Funding

administred by the United Nations. Pledges and contributions
