Azerbaijan made its contribution to WSIS funding. Consultations on the setting up of the Working Group on Internet Governance (WGIG) was held at the United Nations in Geneva on 20 and 21 September 2004. The establishment of the WGIG was requested last December by the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS).

Discussions focused on the scope and working methods of the Working Group, as well as the profile, qualities and characteristics of its members.
