With the first meeting of the Working Group on Internet Governance (WGIG) forthcoming and the launch of the WGIG website earlier this month, international debate on governance mechanisms of the Internet gains momentum. The WGIG will meet at the United Nations in Geneva on 23, 24 and 25 November 2004 with “open Consultations” open to all stakeholders on 24 November. In a position statement published earlier UNESCO stresses that Internet is a major opportunity to improve free flow of information and ideas throughout the world.
