ICC BASIS report on the 7th Internet Governance Forum (IGF)

The IGF is an outcome of the United Nations World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS), which was held in two phases (Geneva 2003, Tunis 2005). The Tunis Agenda for the Information Society invited the Secretary-General of the United Nations to convene a new forum for multistakeholder policy dialogue, called the IGF, by the second quarter of 2006 and to implement this mandate in an open and inclusive process.
