Shortly after, the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS), which convened in Tunis in November 2005, decided to suggested to the UN, at the urging of the Association of Internet Users, an Internet Day to celebrate the internet across the globe. The UN agreed to designate May 17 as a day dedicated to telecommunications, including World Telecommunication and Information Society Day, to promote the importance of information and communications technology and the diverse issues related to information society that the WSIS brought up. In March 2006, the General Assembly adopted Resolution A/RES/60/252, which proclaimed that World Telecommunications and Information Society would be held annually on May 17.
