I guess if just to register as a participant, there will be no problem. But beyond that some governments do require their civil servants (Including those working at public/government universities) to obtain special permission in order to engage at sessions like this, where only designated person(s) representing the government can represent the country.

Hi Judith,
No, you don't need a TIES account.  I can confirm that.

Dear Prof. Suhaidi,
How are you doing?. No, The WISIS forum is open to all. You only need to register for the session you want to attend. No approval needed from member state.
thanks

Dear Abdul Karim,

Correct me if I am mistaken, that participation in this 2020 WSIS Forum needs to be approved/sanctioned by the respective member States, right? Is the forum open for public participation like those of the I* orgs or IGF?

Dear At-large Community,

Please permit me to use this space to invite you to participate in The World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) Forum 2020. https://www.itu.int/net4/wsis/forum/2020/
  
   The WSIS  forum represents the world's largest annual gathering of the ‘ICT for development’ community. The WSIS Forum is co-organized by the ITU, UNESCO, UNDP and UNCTAD, in close collaboration with all WSIS Action Line Facilitators/Co-Facilitators.  
As a result of travel restrictions, this year the WSIS forum is being held online.  The forum has been spread over a wider number of days and the agenda can be found at  https://www.itu.int/net4/wsis/forum/2020/Agenda. 
    
Despite being online the forum would host some high-level participant which can be found at https://www.itu.int/net4/wsis/forum/2020/HighLevel. 
   As one of the twelve (12) appointed as the 2020 High-level Policy Facilitator for WSIS to manage the sessions on  'WSIS Action Lines and 2030 Agenda', I would especially like to invite you to the High-Level Policy Session that I would be moderating on Monday 27th July 2020 at 12:00 UTC. You can register for this session at https://www.itu.int/net4/wsis/forum/2020/Agenda/Session/202.  Hopefully, I should send a reminder closer to the time.

Thank You 

Dr Abdulkarim Oloyede
2020 WSIS High-level Facilitator.
