WSIS UNFOLDS: FINDING THE RIGHT WAY TO TUNIS  
[By Terri Willard] The Tunis Phase (2004–2005) is
focused more narrowly on resolving the outstanding
issues of financing information and communications
technology (ICT) for development and developing a
framework for Internet governance. The Tunis Phase
also seeks to enable a preliminary stock-taking of new
activities undertaken since 2003 and to encourage
governments to adopt an operational plan for the Plan
of Action.
