Be careful what you wish for, in the context of involving NGOs and Civil 
Society by strict application of that resolution:

"Pursuant to Economic and Social Council resolution 1996/31 of 25 July 
1996, non-governmental organizations and civil society entities not in 
consultative status with the Council, but which received accreditation 
to the World Summit on the Information Society, may participate, upon 
approval by the Council in a timely manner, on an exceptional basis and 
without prejudice to the established rules of the United Nations, in the 
next two meetings of the Commission, this provision being based on the 
understanding that in the meantime, said organizations and entities will 
apply for consultative status with the Council in accordance with 
existing rules and procedures, and that in accordance with Council 
resolution 1996/31, the Committee on Non- Governmental Organizations is
invited to consider such applications, in accordance with the rules and
procedures of the United Nations, and to do so as expeditiously as
possible"

Which has been extended to include participation in 2010's meeting (and 
as far as I can see has also applied to any meetings since then), which 
is two years beyond what 2006/46 envisaged.
