WSIS Follow Up

"Real" global activities on the information society are rather rare these days. In many cases, the Western world initiates events which are supposed to be "global" with a lack of input from developing countries...however, there are some events which should be observed quite closely-

WSIS Follow Up: The 2nd World Summit on the Information Society was held in Tunis in 2005 - it was quite an impressive event, bringing together stakeholders across the globe. But does it really have an impact? Well, the decision of the summit which cause most attention was about the internet domain administration but there are a number of activities which deserve some attention.

Especially the fields "access to information and knowledge" and "e-learning" are quite interesting - I recommend to check the activities on http://www.itu.int/wsis/follow-up/index.html
At least this might be helpful to see how other countries deal with information and corresponding systems as well as policies.

Lets see what is next on the agenda....
