Session teaser

This main session as well as WS 7 will develop messages relating to the UN WSIS+20 Review. The Main Session provides the opportunity for European stakeholders to discuss in general terms the outcomes of the Review and the conduct of the process. In the workshop we will focus on the role of the national and regional IGFs in the implementation phase of the Review outcomes. Finally, stakeholders are invited to make proposals for specific actions by EuroDIG in support of the implementation phase.
