What
is the Coordinating Committee of Business Interlocutors for WSIS and how
does it work?
The Coordinating Committee of Business Interlocutors (CCBI) is the voice
of business in the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS). Principals
of the Summit host countries, Switzerland and Tunisia and the executive
secretariat invited the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) to create
the CCBI as a vehicle through which to mobilize and coordinate the involvement
of the worldwide business community in the processes leading to and culminating
in the Summit in Geneva 2003 and Tunis 2005. The CCBI is made up of -
and open to all - representatives of individual business firms, as well
as of associations and other organizations that represent business interests.
The regional diversity of its members ensures that its views are truly
global.
