Consultations on the establishment of the Working Group on Internet
Governance (WGIG) 


Background and purpose of the Meeting

The first phase of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS)
held in Geneva in December 2003 agreed to pursue the dialogue on
Internet Governance with a view to preparing the ground for a decision
at the second phase of the WSIS in Tunis in November 2005. To this end
it requested the United Nations Secretary-General to establish a Working
Group on Internet Governance (WGIG).

The two documents adopted in Geneva set the parameters for the WGIG and
contain its Terms of Reference. The main activity of the WGIG will be
“to investigate and make proposals for action, as appropriate, on the
governance of Internet by 2005.” The WGIG is 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.” It is asked inter alia to
deal with the following issues:

      * Develop a working definition of Internet Governance;
      * Identify the public policy issues that are relevant to Internet
        Governance;
      * Develop a common understanding of the respective roles and
        responsibilities of governments, existing international
        organizations and other forums as well as the private sector and
        civil society from both developing and developed countries.
The two Geneva documents, the Declaration of Principles and the Plan of
Action, attach much importance to the process. It should be “open and
inclusive” and ensure “a mechanism for the full and active participation
of governments, the private sector and civil society from both
developing and developed countries, involving relevant intergovernmental
and international organizations and forums”. 

The Consultations aim to develop a common understanding of structure and
functioning of the WGIG. Discussions are therefore expected to focus on
the scope and working methods of the WGIG, as well as the general
profile, qualities and characteristics of its members.
