series of workshops organized by ICANN constituencies to increase

understanding of the United Nation's World Summit on the Information
Society
(WSIS) and issues of direct impact to ICANN.<span style="">&nbsp;
</span>"WSIS" is a process in which governments are attempting to
address a broad range of international legal, regulatory, economic, and
policy
issues related to the Internet. During this process, some governments
proposed
that an intergovernmental organization be responsible for "Internet
governance," a phrase that remains undefined and some consider to
include
and/or mean the administration and coordination of the DNS.
