The main subject for WSIS was bridging the digital divide. But the ITU used the regional PrepComs between PrepCom1 (2002) and PrepCom2 (June 2003) to include Internet Governance into the list of issues with the aim get back what they "lost" in Minneapolis. </p>

I was under the impression that questions about ICANN (and Internet governance) were first brought to the fore by some civil society members - notably, members who were neither from North America nor from Western Europe (at the PrepCom in Paris?), and who had been involved in ICANN processes prior to WSIS, if you see what I mean?</p>
