More participation by developing countries called for in internet governance structures

A three-day United Nations Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) Task Force meeting ended in the city of New York recently with over 300 participants, including Internet Society (ISOC), calling for more active involvement of developing countries. The meeting was in response to the request of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) Action Plan given last December in Geneva, which requested the UN Secretary General to set up a Working Group on Internet Governance (WGIG).
