ACCREDITATION OF NGOS, CIVIL SOCIETY AND BUSINESS SECTOR ENTITIES TO THE WORLD SUMMIT ON THE INFORMATION SOCIETY

1. UN General Assembly resolution A/RES/56/183 encouraged effective contributions and the active participation of all relevant UN bodies, in particular the ICT Task Force, and encouraged other intergovernmental organizations, including international and regional institutions, non- governmental organizations, civil society and the private sector to contribute to, and actively participate in, the intergovernmental preparatory process of the Summit and the Summit itself.

2. According to the Arrangements for accreditation, requests for accreditation have to be submitted by mail or by fax to the Executive Secretariat. The deadline for submitting accreditation applications is six weeks before the start of each Preparatory Committee meeting. The Executive Secretariat, with the assistance of the United Nations Non-Governmental Liaison Service (NGLS), is asked to review the relevance of the work of the applicants on the basis of their background and involvement in information society issues and to make recommendations to the Preparatory Committee for its decision on the accreditation of those NGOs, civil society and business sector entities which are considered competent and whose activities are relevant to the work of the Summit. The Executive Secretariat is to circulate the list of entities recommended for accreditation to Member States two weeks before the start of each Preparatory committee meeting.

3. The Executive Secretariat has received and evaluated the completed applications received by 1 August 2003. The present document contains in Annex 1 the list of NGOs and civil society entities and in Annex 2 the list of business entities recommended by the Executive Secretariat for accreditation at PrepCom-3.

4. The Arrangements for accreditation stipulate further that those non-governmental organizations currently in consultative status with ECOSOC, that wish to attend the Preparatory Committee meetings and the Summit must inform the Executive Secretariat and register to participate. As a rule, they shall be considered as accredited. The list of such non-governmental organizations is to be circulated to Member States two weeks before the session of the Preparatory Committee. Therefore, Annex 3 contains the list of those NGOs which are currently in consultative status with ECOSOC and who have expressed, since 5 January 2003, their wish to participate in the Preparatory Committee meetings and the Summit.
