The 2002 Plenipotentiary Conference held in Marrakesh endorsed ITU’s Strategic Plan for 2004-2007 whose goals included bridging the international digital divide by facilitating development of fully interconnected and interoperable networks and services and taking a leading role in the preparations and follow-up of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS).

Recognizing that access to Internet should be available to all citizens on a non-discriminatory basis, the Conference resolved that the management of Internet Domain Names and addresses should be of concern to both governments and the private sector and requested ITU to take a significant role in the domain name debate.
