The WSIS+10 Review process marks the 10th anniversary of the World Summit on Information Society that took place in two phases that began in 2003 in Geneva and culminated with the second phase in Tunis in 2005. The WSIS summits are milestones in the development of the information society. This review will evaluate the progress we have made on the WSIS goals while helping us calibrate and realign to new targets.
