APDIP Presents Internet Governance Priorities and Recommendations from Asia-Pacific at the Fourth WGIG Meeting in Geneva, Switzerland, 14-17 June 2005

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 and referenced in WGIG's report to the World Summit on the Information Society in Tunis in November 2005.

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