Group of Friends of the Chair

 

Prepcom 1 decided that "a group of friends of the President of the PrepCom of the Tunis Phase, with the assistance of the WSIS Executive Secretariat and in consultation with regional groups, will prepare a document to serve as a basis for negotiations in PrepCom-2, taking into account, as appropriate, the outcomes of relevant thematic, regional and other WSIS-related meetings"

The GFC will hold regular sessions and special sessions in preparation for PrepCom-2. Regular sessions are open to members of the GFC (up to 30 Government delegations, plus 8 ex-officio members) and to observers from Governments. Special sessions will also be open to observers from International Organizations, ITU sector members, and WSIS-accredited NGOs, civil society and business sector entities.
