Within the framework of the World Summit on the Information Society, the United Nations Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships agency (UNMSP) proposal is a proposal from some WSIS Civil Society elements, with informal consultation with some other stakeholders, that goes along the direction of the Cardoso report and beyond. This WSIS Civil Society proposal recommends the formation a new specialized overlay UN agency in order to allow all stakeholders and constituencies to meet and interact efficiently, inclusively and constructively ; allow the creation of Multistakeholder Partnerships approuved by the UN, and recognized by International Public Law ; This proposed United Nations Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships agency (UNMSP) would take advantage of the new Information Technologies to be fully network-oriented and to be as lean and efficient as possible. This agency would make use of the World Wide Web in an extensive way, in order to enable a set of permanent virtual conferences representing all constituencies to foster the creation of new partnerships. This proposed agency would be an overlay organization in the sense it would take advantage both of existing UN structures, conferences and personnel, and also it would include Local Authorities, Civil Society and Business Community personnel working from their own offices, on site, thereby reaching the whole world. This proposed agency would be a key element in order to establish efficient financing mechanisms towards the implementation of the WSIS plan of action and other UN summits recommendations.
