World Dialogue on Regulation

Organizations working on frontier issues of telecom reform, information infrastructure development, and preparing the regulatory foundations to stimulate growth in new network economies, may wish to join WDR. Options they can consider include partnership and event sponsorship. 

Partnership
Join the founding partners – infoDev, World Bank; LIRNE.NET; International Development Research Centre (IDRC). This requires a significant commitment in funding and/or support services over a three year period. It includes a seat on the Board, participation on the management committee (if desired), and full partnership recognition in all WDR activities.
