Well Said , Dr, Wolfgang .

Unfortunately civil society are becoming more as figureheads rather than having real contribution in most of the internet arenas  ,  and gradually being eliminated by ITU , IGF

Isn´t it funny, that we are sailing backwards? It is a bad deja-vue. Here it is what I wrote ten years ago, critisizing the WSIS+10 process. I could write the same article today. Isn´t it a shame?

Thanks, Isra.
Not sure if this information was not shared here earlier, but the zero draft, as expected, is a copy of the modalities for WSIS+10. That’s not surprising, given the fact that they have been tested once. There will be work on these (the link you provided has the calendar for that), and it’s likely that they will go through some edits. These edits are only going to be done by member states; there’s no space for other stakeholders’ involvement. 
Perhaps you have already noticed that there’s only one way of engagement in the process for other stakeholders, as described in the point 6 - informal interactive consultations.  
So, as many have already stated here and in other places - if people want to participate, they should talk to their national governments, mainly the ministries of foreign affairs, and see if they could join their delegations as experts.  
 
Best regards, 
Veni

And as a follow-up to my previous email, it's worth noting that DESA put together this website for the WSIS+20 review: https://publicadministration.desa.un.org/wsis20 [publicadministration.desa.un.org]

Hi all,
 
The zero draft of the working modalities can be found at the UN's website: https://www.un.org/pga/79/2025/02/07/letter-from-president-general-assembly-on-world-summit-on-the-information-society-zero-draft/ [un.org]
 
My colleague Mona Gaballa ran a quick comparison to the modalities for the WSIS+10 review (https://docs.un.org/A/RES/68/302 [docs.un.org]) and its nearly a template of this zero draft (with updates dates and resolution numbers).
 
Best,
Isra
