For the third time since the second phase of the World Summit on the Information
Society (WSIS), representatives of governments, private sector and civil society
will gather in Geneva in May to take stock of and advance the implementation of
the WSIS outcomes. In conjunction with the World Telecommunication and
Information Society Day, to be celebrated on 17 May, several meetings will be
held, including:
- The Internet Governance Forum Open Consultations
- 12 Action Line Facilitation meetings
- The third meeting of the United Nations Group on the Information Society (UNGIS)

ITU a leading facilitating role (along with UNESCO and UNDP), the Union is
coordinating the organization of this third cluster of WSIS-related events and
will host most of the events.
