29. Recalling General Assembly
Resolution 56/183 and taking into account the
outcome of the Geneva phase of the WSIS, a preparatory meeting will be held in
the first half of 2004 to review those issues of the Information Society which should
form the focus of the Tunis phase of the WSIS and to agree on the structure of the
preparatory process for the second phase. In line with the decision of this Summit
concerning its Tunis phase, the second phase of the WSIS should consider, inter
alia:
a) Elaboration of final appropriate documents based on the outcome of the
Geneva phase of the WSIS with a view to consolidating the process of building
a global Information Society, and reducing the Digital Divide and transforming
it into digital opportunities; and
b) Follow-up and implementation of the
Geneva Plan of Action at national,
regional and international levels, including the United Nations system, as part
of an integrated and coordinated approach, calling upon the participation of all
relevant stakeholders. This should take place, inter alia, through partnerships
among stakeholders.
