During Phase 2 of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) in Tunis, 16-18 November 2005, the Number Resource Organization (NRO) will be participating in the Internet Pavilion at the ICT4all exhibition.
The Internet Pavilion brings together a number of the key organizations responsible for both day-to-day management and policy development in the Internet sphere. Organisations at the Internet Pavilion will include:
- Internet Society (ISOC)
- Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)
- Number Resource Organization (NRO)
- Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN)
- Council of European National Top level Domain Registries (CENTR)
- London Internet Exchange (LINX)
- African ISP Association (AfrISPA)
During the week of the ICT4all exhibition, NRO executives and representatives are keen to meet WSIS participants and exchange knowledge, experience, and views on Internet activities. NRO representatives are happy to schedule meetings with participants to discuss Internet issues in depth.
Through the Internet Pavilion, we hope to work together with WSIS participants to promote a greater understanding of existing Internet governance mechanisms and how these relate to the recommendations of the Working Group on Internet Governance (WGIG) Final Report and wider WSIS principles.
APNIC is assisting in the NRO's education, communication, and outreach efforts, which include:
- Multimedia presentations on RIR history, the NRO, and IP addressing and routing
- An NRO fact sheet available in many languages, including eight spoken in the Asia Pacific region
- Brochures and fact sheets on technical and RIR-specific issues
- Newsletters, articles, and other documentation
At the Internet Pavilion, co-exhibitors, invited guests, and visitors will work together to reinforce the very important role that the Internet has in promoting important areas such as education, economic development, and knowledge transfer.
The exhibition will take place from 15-19 November at the Kram PalExpo.
