International Federation of Library Associations (IFLA) Annual Report, 2006
23 pages; PDF.
From the preface:

We made progress with two aspects of advocacy. Conceptually, we clarified what advocacy IFLA should be engaged in, how it should be organised, and what resources it requires. Practically, we focussed on the follow-up of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS).

We identified the WSIS “action lines” that are of greatest relevance to IFLA and our profession, and deployed staff and volunteers to represent us at international meetings held to pursue the action lines. To coordinate the advocacy work, the President-elect’s Information Society Contact Group was set up.
This report reflects progress that was achieved in many other facets of our Federation: strategic planning; reviews of our professional structures, core activities and governance; multilingualism; regional offices; the organisation of congresses; partnerships; and the development and promotion of professional practice across the full spectrum of our profession, world-wide. If it seems sometimes that we are not advancing rapidly enough, it is because we are advancing on such a broad front.
