_*BACKGROUND*_
In December of 2003, the world came together in Geneva at the World
Summit on Information Society (WSIS) to declare a âcommon desire and
commitment to build a people-centred, inclusive and development-oriented
Information Society,â and thereby ushered in an era of harnessing the
power of information and communication technology (ICT) to contribute to
the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The
resulting Geneva Plan of Action established targets and the eleven
action lines, which guide development in specific areas.
The second phase of WSIS, conducted in Tunis in 2005, built upon the
achievements of the Geneva Plan, with the resulting Tunis Agenda
addressing additional issues, such as financing and internet governance.
Paragraph 111 of the Tunis Agenda requested the General Assembly to
undertake the overall review of the implementation of the outcomes of
the World Summit on the Information Society in 2015. This review "will
be concluded by a two-day high-level meeting of the General Assembly in
December 2015, to be preceded by an intergovernmental process that also
takes into account inputs from all relevant stakeholders of the World
Summit on the Information Society," as specified in UN General Assembly
Resolution 68/320.
