Ambassador Gross, U.S. representative at WSIS, participates in IIP webcast

Washington -- The United States and 170 other countries reached agreement on future management of the Internet on November 15 before the United Nations-sponsored World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) in Tunis, Tunisia.

The agreement “reaffirms the importance of technology and particularly the Internet to the world” and “preserves the unique role of the United States government in assuring the reliability and stability of the Internet,” says Ambassador David Gross, the chief U.S. negotiator at WSIS. (See related article).

Gross will be available to answer your questions during a live webcast on December 13 at 12:00 EST (1700GMT).  To view and participate in the webcast please visit http://www.cpcwebcast.com/state.
