>Securing Rights, Inclusion and Security in the Information Society
>
>Enhanced communication and the exchange of information - increasingly
>facilitated by ICT - are defining elements of the emerging information
>society. These are also vital for the social development and democratic
>functioning of society. The free flow of information and communication are
>being compromised not only by the digital divide, Spam and Cybercrime, but
>also by the restrictions on the freedom to communicate, violations of the
>confidentiality of information and communication and the rights of
>individuals, often driven by "national security concerns" in some countries.

>Multi-Stakeholder Approaches for the Information Society
>
>At present, many countries are facing varying degrees of "disconnectivity"
>in their attempt to harness digital opportunities. There are many concrete
>demonstrations of how ICT can make a difference but these do not always
>result in policies that could enhance their sustainability and
>replication. Comprehensive e-strategies are being formulated, but they do
>not necessarily encourage risk-taking, new business/ development models
>and thinking that could turn policy into action. Multi-stakeholder
>approaches can be effective in addressing both policy and implementation
>issues. A series of innovative country examples that explicitly use WSIS
>as an opportunity will be shared.

>E-Governance: Towards Responsive Government and Enhanced Interactions with
>Citizen
>
>There has been a growing focus on e-government typically in the context of
>public administration reform and restructuring programmes. The dominant
>rationale has been enhancing efficiency through IT systems, which are
>expected to dramatically improve the way governments operate and provide
>services to their citizens. How can the citizen focus and access to
>information and services be enhanced and implementation be made more effective?

>Internet Governance, WTO, and Electronic Trade
>
>In many instances, the terms on which developing countries are able to
>access and use ICT are being determined in global fora addressing the
>governance structures of the Internet and as well as trade rules. These
>fora are typically characterized by low levels of effective developing
>country participation. The governance issues not only have fault lines
>along north-south axes but also along the lines of inter-government or
>multi-stakeholder frameworks. Both global participation and national
>capacity development
