In the context of the overall review of the implementation of the outcomes of the World Summit on the Information Society, the EU and its Member States submitted to the President of the General Assembly a non-paper on multistakeholder engagement to feed into the preparations of said review. The non-paper proposes to establish, within existing resources, a WSIS+20 Multistakeholder Sounding Board to support the co-facilitators in gathering views and expertise from a wide multi-stakeholder community, hereby enhancing the transparency, inclusivity, and legitimacy of the WSIS+20 review outcomes. 

This non-paper is to be read in complementarity with the NetMundial+10 Guidelines which provide a comprehensive and operational framework for inclusive, transparent and accountable multistakeholder processes which can be applied to the WSIS+20 review, as already pointed out by some WSIS stakeholders.
