"The First Phase of the World Summit on the Information Society
(WSIS) was held in Geneva in December 2003. By adopting the
Declaration of Principles and the Plan of Action, WSIS has
established a common vision and global consensus at the highest
political level on the vital role of ICT for sustainable development
including the promotion of the achievement of the Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs).
etc etc
In this regard, the UNESCAP Commission at its 60th session held in
Shanghai in April 2004 expressed support for the recommendation of
the Committee on Managing Globalization that a Regional Plan of
Action be formulated to lead to an Information Society. Therefore,
the First Regional Conference which will be held from 11 to 13
October in Bangkok in United Nations Conference Centre will focus on
the regional and national implementations of the outcomes of Geneva
Phase as well as the formulation on draft of the Regional Plan of
Action towards Information Society."
