> contain its Terms of Reference. The main activity of the WGIG will be
[UTF-8?]> “to investigate and make proposals for action, as appropriate, on the
[UTF-8?]> governance of Internet by 2005.” The WGIG is asked to present the
result
[UTF-8?]> of its work in a report “for consideration and appropriate action for
[UTF-8?]> 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 
[UTF-8?]> 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 
[UTF-8?]> 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.
