But the WSIS was never mandated with a clearly defined global "problem". The summit was held at a time when US-led interests were active in underminig several democratic forums of global governance, even as global capital appeared increasingly intolerant towards public policy regimes. Thus there was a consistent attempt to keep several substantive issues out of the summit discussions. Moreover, the private sector, as a supposed leader of the information society, was pushed in very questionable ways into various governance arrangements. - Reproduced.
