The original idea for a World Summit on the Information Society came from ITU Resolution 73 (Minneapolis, 1998) adopted at the Plenipotentiary Conference, which is the top policy making body of the Union.

In December 2001 the UN General Assembly passed Resolution 56/183, which invites ITU to assume the leading managerial role in the Executive Secretariat of the Summit and its preparatory process.
