Roadmap to Tunis

The first preparatory meeting for the Tunis phase of WSIS will be held from 24 to 26 June 2004, in Hammamet (Tunisia). Information about the Hammamet PrepCom can be found here http://www.itu.int/wsis/preparatory2/hammamet/index.html.

One of the PrepCom's tasks will be to agree on the structure and mechanisms for the second phase of WSIS, and a recent meeting of the WSIS government bureau produced a draft "Roadmap" document describing the process to Tunis. Problem, the Roadmap's very wrong about the Internet governance working group. Suggested corrected version: Download roadmap_ajp.doc (Word document, view with track changes on.)

The govt. bureau's incorrect draft here http://www.itu.int/council/wsis/Geneva2_04/roadmap-18-04.doc
