The summit process lasted for four years overall (2001 to 2005) and included a series of regional preparatory meetings – with all sectors represented – and global preparatory commissions led by governments. It produced four documents setting out aspirations for the information society (the Declaration of Principles and Plan of Action from Geneva and the Tunis Commitment and Tunis Agenda). APC was active in WSIS and supported the interventions of civil society organisations in the summit process, making a material difference to the outcomes of WSIS by enriching the debate thanks to civil society’s specific expertise and experience in ICTs.

It is often used with words like &quot;partnership&quot; and &quot;consultation&quot;. In multi-stakeholder partnerships the partners have a shared understanding that they play different roles and have different purposes, but that they can pursue collective goals through collaboration and common activities to achieve such goals. These partnerships are voluntary, with participation driven by the perceived benefits they may see emerging from the process. Such partnerships are increasingly being used to challenge and lobby for change in policy processes.
