Mr. Shahid Akhtar, Chief Technical Advisor and Programme Coordinator of APDIP presented findings in the Open Regional Dialogue on Internet Governance (ORDIG) Input Paper and Policy Brief - "Voices from Asia-Pacific" - at the Fourth Meeting of the Working Group on Internet Governance (WGIG).

ORDIG has been a comprehensive assessment of views on Internet Governance in the Asia-Pacific region. In line with WGIG principles, it was an inclusive multi-stakeholder partnership from the very beginning, and a concerted effort was made to involve all affected groups in the production of both the input paper and policy brief.

Both reports were tabled at the High-Level Asia Pacific Conference for the World Summit on the Information Society in Tehran, Islamic Republic of Iran, 31 May - 2 June 2005, and referenced in the Tehran Declaration. The full text of report was also shared with the WGIG Secretariat.

APDIP implemented ORDIG in collaboration with UNESCAP and the Asia-Pacific Network Information Centre (APNIC), and with the support of IDRC of Canada.
