Agreed. Though it should not merely be a copy of the present kind of 
report that goes to the DESA. IT should be substantive, laying out the 
key public policy issues chosen were discussions, the outcomes, and 
proposed follow ups.

Sure. However, it would have been much easier if developed nations, as 
well as private and technical sectors, had agreed to setting up a new UN 
ECOSOC Commission on Information Society for WSIS follow up as was 
suggested at the fag end of the WSIS.
