Following the initiative announced at PrepCom-2, and based on the decision of the WSIS Bureau, the Executive Secretariat and ITU invites submissions concerning new commitments that stakeholders have announced, or are planning to announce, during the Tunis Phase of the WSIS. The intention is to create a “golden book” to promote these new commitments to the media in a way that will complement those initiatives already underway, as recorded in the WSIS stocktaking database (see: WSIS-II/PC-3/DOC3).

  We would be grateful for your assistance in contributing to this “golden book”. You can do this by submitting, in the electronic version of questionnaire or online, descriptions of those new commitments which your organization has announced, or is planning to announce at Tunis. If you have more than one activity to submit, please fill out separate forms for each one, or make separate submissions via the website. Please note that the golden book is intended to be indicative of the projects announced, not comprehensive, and should not simply duplicate material already in the stocktaking.

 Your commitments will be posted on the WSIS website during the Tunis Summit, and in the “golden book” to be produced shortly after it. This information will also be used in the press releases and other media events organized during the Summit, so we would be grateful if you could indicate if contact names for possible media interviews and possible dates for media embargoes (if relevant). We would also welcome future updates to this information.

 In order for the information to be available during the Tunis Phase of the Summit, please send your response, and any associated documentation, as soon as possible either by filling out the questionnaire online or by email to: wsis-stocktaking@itu.int .
