Excellencies, Ladies and gentlemen, I am pleased to welcome all participants to this World Summit on the Information Society Forum. People today are better connected today than ever. Mobile phones are more affordable, especially in developing countries. But we still have to close the gap so that everyone has access to information and communication technologies. This is especially important now as the world rallies to forge a set of sustainable development goals to usher in a life of dignity for all. I count on this Forum to help bridge the digital divide so that people everywhere can reap the benefits of connectivity. Let us empower individuals with these transformative technologies so that they can advocate – and innovate – for our common future. Thank you. www.wsis.org/forum 1 WSIS Forum 2015: Outcome Document Table of Contents Acknowledgements .......................................................................................................... 7 WSIS Forum 2015: Introduction .......................................................................................10 Open Consultation Process ..............................................................................................11 Social Media Networks ....................................................................................................12 WSIS -SDG Matrix: Linking WSIS Action Lines with Sustainable Development Goals ..........16 Opening Segment: ................................................................................................................... 59 Opening Ceremony ........................................................................................................... 59 Opening Session ................................................................................................................ 59 High-Level Policy Statements ............................................................................................ 59 Handing over of WSIS Project Prizes................................................................................. 59 Photograph 59 Policy Statements ...........................................................................................................66 High-level Dialogues ........................................................................................................74 HLD1 Post-2015 Sustainable Development Goals and WSIS Action Lines ....................... 75 HLD2 Making Empowerment a Reality – Accessibility for All ........................................... 81 HLD3 Innovation in ICTs for Sustainable Development .................................................... 84 HLD4 Building Trust in Cyberspace – Working Together .................................................. 87 HLD5 Empowering Women to Innovate through Technology ......................................... 89 Ministerial Round Table (MRT).........................................................................................94 Interactive Facilitation Meetings ......................................................................................95 C1, C7.
