[UTF-8?]> âto investigate and make proposals for action, as appropriate, on the
[UTF-8?]> governance of Internet by 2005.â The WGIG is asked to present the
result
[UTF-8?]> of its work in a report âfor consideration and appropriate action for
[UTF-8?]> the second phase of the WSIS in Tunis 2005.â 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
[UTF-8?]> should be âopen and inclusiveâ and ensure âa 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
[UTF-8?]> organizations and forumsâ.
>
> 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.
