An electronic discussion to prepare the second meeting of the World Summit
on the Information Society (WSIS) Preparatory Committee ( Prepcom II, 17-28
February 2003): this is the project UNESCO is launching, in cooperation
with the WSIS Executive Secretariat, to closely involve Civil Society in
the Summit preparation process.

Actually, the proposed electronic discussion is intended to provide input
for the Summit draft plan of action to be discussed by Member States during
Prepcom II. This online discussion will be held from 1 December to 20
December 2002 and will be structured into thematic forums primarily
reflecting the issues contained in the outcome of the Informal Meeting of
Sub-committee 2 of the first Prepcom of the WSIS. This forum will be open
to a large number of organizations working in UNESCO's fields of action.

The actions launched by UNESCO to involve non-governmental organizations in
the WSIS preparation process have been initiated through a series of
consultations with civil society representatives. These consultations were
held either on a global level, with four thematic meetings in February 2002
and a plenary session in April 2002, or at a regional level with an African
NGOs consultation in Bamako, Mali, in May 2002. The online discussion is
the next step of this consultation process.
