World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS)

The global information society is evolving rapidly. The convergence of 
telecommunications, broadcasting multimedia, and information and 
communication technologies (ICTs) drives the development of new products 
and services, as well as ways of conducting business and commerce. The 
World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) aims to bring together 
heads of state, executive heads of United Nations agencies, industry 
leaders, non-governmental organizations, media representatives, and 
civil society to develop a better understanding of global information 
society issues.

U.S. preparations for the WSIS will be conducted via the International 
Telecommunication Advisory Committee (ITAC). For more information or to 
submit documents, please send an email to wsis@state.gov. Please note 
that all documents received will be submitted to the ITAC via email.
