<h1>World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS)</h1> |
|
</center> |
|
|
|
<p>The World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) was a two-summit |
|
UN conference organised by the ITU at which important cornerstones for |
|
the information and knowledge society should be laid. After the |
|
summits in Geneva and Tunis, the WSIS is now in its implementation phase.</p> |
|
|
|
<p>FSFE has been participating for many years along with other civil |
|
societies to make sure that principles of freedom, human rights, |
|
sharing of knowledge and access to information will be upheld.</p> |

<h3>Followup-Activities</h3> |

<li><a href="/activities/igf/">Internet Governance Forum (IGF)</a><br /> |
|
One of the most controversial undertakings of the second phase of the |
|
WSIS was the <a href="/activities/igf/wgig.html">UN WGIG</a>. Unable to |
|
discuss and find consensus on substantive issues, in particular the |
|
issues around monopolisation of knowledge and Free Software, the |
|
second summit in Tunisia agreed to create an international discussion |
|
forum on all issues internet related, the Internet Governance Forum (IGF).</li> |
