【正文】 ional Telemunication Union (ITU) decided to hold a twophase WSIS: the first phase was held in Geneva in 2003 and the second took place in Tunis in 2005. The documentation produced in these two phases guides all stakeholders to contribute to the establishment of an IS and maintain the sustainability of the Information Society. The effect of the WSIS is to create policy tools to overe diversified societal divides. The multistakeholder approach is to foster a fair decisionmaking process which allows different stakeholder involvement and the bridging of the digital divide. The WSIS proposed solutions to reach international agreement regarding Internet governance and ICTs for development.The Geneva phase of the WSIS focused on developing underlying principles for the founding of a global Information Society. The Tunis phase paid more attention to implementation of these principles as well as followup mechanisms (Malcolm, 2008). Each phase resulted in the production of a pair of documents: Geneva Declaration of Principles and Geneva Plan of Action for the first phase and Tunis Commitment and Tunis Agenda for an Information Society for the second phase. The documents in each pair are integrally joined and plementary to each other. Both phases of WSIS emphasise the importance of Internet governance reform and ICTs for development. The Geneva Declaration of Principles and Geneva Plan of Action were to build up and promote a clear statement of political will, and take tangible steps to set up the foundations for an IS for all mankind that ‘reflect[s] all the different interests at stake’ (Basic Information: about WSIS, .). The Tunis Commitment and Tunis Agenda for an Information Society, built on the Geneva Plan of Action, help ‘find solutions for reaching agreements in the fields of Internet governance’ and ICT for development (Basic Information: about WSIS, .). The Tunis documents were to promote the implementation and development of the Geneva documents, and presented a conclusion about Internet governance that helped reinforce the content of the Geneva documents. Additionally, they outlined subsequent steps to be taken(Malcolm, 2008).As the world prepares for the third phase of the WSIS in May this year, it is time to examine how far individual countries have progressed in implementing the WSIS principles. According to statistics presented by Internet World Stats (Asia Internet Usage and Population, 2009), the status of Chinese netizenship is disconcerting: with a population of more than billion, Chinese internet users number only 360,000,000, an internet penetration level of percent. This suggests that the Chinese netizenship faces severe challenges and needs to strive in preparing for the transition to an Information Society. Statement of the problemOn 15 June 2009, the Chinese government announced that it was pulsory for all puter manufacturers to install a piece of software called Green Dam Youth Escort on all new puters to be sold in China. Officials said that this software was designed to filter out pornographic and violent content for the purposes of protecting children, yet some internet users discovered the software blocking normal pictures of babies, pigs and even the cartoon cat Garfield, tracking key words and colours, leading to some unusual effects such as sudden puter crashes. Free speech advocates in China argued that this software could be used by the government to block activist groups as well as anything the government considers to be an undesirable influence (Carpertier, 2006). Research Problems The Green Dam Project case arouses concern from various sections of society and raises the following questions: What is the current state of Chinese netizenship? What China can do to narrow the digital divide? What is the governance structure of China? How could China broadly promote stakeholder relationships to meet WSIS indicators and achieve WSIS objectives? How should China build capacity to meet WSIS objectives? A summary of the methods used to address the problemThis project is designed to develop a set of key IS indicators for mapping Chinese netizenship by reviewing, analysing and critiquing the WSIS documentation. It then seeks to map the state of Chinese netizenship and analyse China’s capacity to meet WSIS indicators, using an indepth examination of the Green Dam Project case study. Finally, it describes the state of netizenship in China and makes remendations on how to enhance stakeholder engagement in order to promote Chinese netizenship. The theoretical framework for the projectThis project will use two theories to analyse the Green Dam Project case: explanation of WSIS on IS development, and stakeholder engagement analysis, which is drawn from the literature from the field of participatory munication. Aim and objectivesThe key aim of this study is to make remendations on how China can enhance the processes of consultation to aid the implementation of IS objectives. The project will achieve this aim by mapping the conditions of Chinese netizenship against WSIS indicators.In order to achieve this aim this study will need to meet the following objectives: Development of a set of key IS indicators by reviewing, analysing and critiquing the WSIS documentation. Use of an indepth examination of the Green Dams Project for mapping the state of Chinese netizenship and analyse China’s capacity to meet WSIS indicators Reviewing of stakeholder consultation analysis to make remendations on how China could promote stakeholder relationship broadly to improve consultation and implement WSIS objectives Ethical considerationsThis project report may involve certain sensitive issues related to the state of freedom of expression in China。 however, it will not have the potential to harm anyone and it is very necessary for mapping Chinese netizenship objectively.
