The United Nations (UN) Working Group on Internet Governance focuses on spam, network security and cybercrime

The United Nations (UN) has revealed that discussion at the third meeting of its Working Group on Internet Governance focused on spam, network security and cybercrime.

The consensus among participants was that, although the topic of spam is not yet officially on the international agenda, it must be discussed as a matter of priority. The question of how to deal with spam and protect the Internet was discussed, with emphasis on the need for a multifaceted and multi-layered approach.

A number of proposals were put forward, ranging from drafting model legislation to more informal models of collaboration. The Working Group will put together a report ‘for consideration and appropriate action’ which will be submitted to the UN Secretary General in July 2005 ahead of the second phase of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS), which takes place in November.
