Review

2024 special edition - WSIS+20: Reimagining horizons of dignity, equity and justice for our digital future

"The project has unique value as it provides a global but detailed overview of different key topics. It helps people to get the arguments and diverse/complementary detailed views about topics.
In the long term, some of the topics should be revisited to monitor evolution and update the content to keep it relevant"
- Leandro Navarro, Pangea, Spain - GISWatch author
"GW raises awareness on ICT policy processes on local, regional and global levels. Gives the creative input of a civil society perspective."
- Rozalia Klara Bako, StrawberryNet Foundation and Sapientia Hungarian University of Transylvania, Romania
"I think the 2017s topic reflected the rising importance of the National and Regional Initiatives of Internet Governance. To know what is happening around the world about this topic and what is the real impact from the perspective of civil society organisations is neccesary to understand where the Internet Governance is going and what is the future of this technology."
- Carlos Guerrero, NGO Hiperderecho, Peru
