to become more involved in the promotion of open access

this, I would like to draw your attention to the United

Geneva, May 16-20. We will therefore be proposing a thematic
workshop on this
topic at the Forum. It would help our proposal greatly if
there was visible interest
on the topic on the WSIS Community website. We are seeking
interested people to
support our proposal. We would like to do this by inviting
you to join
the WSIS Community platform to highlight issues related to
Open Access. A new
group has been created on the platform specifically to discuss
Open Access and
related topics: </span><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"
