WSIS Stocktaking is part of WSIS process 

The WSIS Stocktaking Process

The WSIS Stocktaking Process is a follow-up to WSIS that was initiated in 2004. Its purpose is to provide a register of activities carried out by governments, international organizations, the business sector, civil society and other entities, in order to highlight the progress made since that landmark event. Following § 120 of Tunis Agenda for the Information Society (TAIS), ITU has been maintaining the WSIS Stocktaking database as a publicly accessible system providing information on ICT-related initiatives and projects with reference to the 11 WSIS Action Lines of Geneva Plan of Action.

WSIS Stocktaking Platform

In February 2010,WSIS Stocktaking Platform was launched as the new initiative to improve existing functionalities, transforming the former static database into a unique portal to highlight ICT-related projects and initiatives in line with WSIS imple mentation. The platform offers stakehold­ers exciting and interactive networking opportunities via Web 2.0 applications. In the framework of the WSIS Stocktaking Platform, all types of stakeholders can benefit from “the global events calendar”, “the global repository”, “case studies” components and others that tend to extend networking and create partnerships in order to provide more visibility and add value to projects at the local, national, regional and international levels.
