The secretariat of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) has adopted the slogan 'Connecting the World' and declares that the new ground is being broken in discussions with a new multi-stakeholder approach that provides for unprecedented stakeholder participation. This declared format, introduced in PrepCom-3 for the Geneva summit in December 2003 is supposed to herald a break-away from the aloof practices of the past where United Nations and UNESCO meeting were confirmed to government delegations.
