[WSIS CS-Plenary] Tunisia forming a civil society bureau...?

[Renata BLOEM]

Robert,

>From what we heard informally in the WGs in Tunis is that a national
preparatory Commission has been established. It is chaired by the Minister
for Information and Transport and consists of Government- CS- and Private
Sector entities. Apparently they meet at regular intervals, divide tasks
among them and report back to the Commission.

....
A representative of Tunisia spoke on the Tunis Phase.  She outlined how
Tunis was preparing for the Summit.  She reported that they had formed a
national commission representing various ministries, a civil society
bureau, and a private sector group. There will also be a logistical
committee.  At the end of June there will be in Tunis the first
Prepcom.  A priority for implementing the Plan of Action is who will
implement what? And how do we get information on all actors activities? 
Implementation will extend beyond Tunis to 2015.  An important outcome
of Tunis will be concrete initiatives to bridge the digital divide,
including partnerships for digital solidarity and sustainable
development.  We will be organizing work based on developing a
definition of internet governance,  identifying public policy issues and
the respective roles of different actors.
