As there is no definitive structure of implementing the information society Plan of Action in place, IT for Change has started advocating for creating an implementing mechanism in PrepCom III.
IT for Change in its position paper mentions, "The latest draft as proposed by the chair of the GFC, on which comments may be given before 31st August, removes all mention of such post-WSIS structural arrangements. (See annexure for a comparison of the earlier and the latest drafts of chapters 1 and 4).) If this draft is accepted, WSIS, or as one may more broadly put it, the global public policy engagement with IS issues, is practically dead. WSIS didnt do much, and it aims not to leave any permanent structure to take up emerging IS issues."
